Running your own business

Sometimes people think I make "good" money teaching lessons. It's true that if you figure the cost per lesson as an hourly rate, it's high. But what about all those other hours...

First of all, I spent today trying not to think about work. It's a quasi-rule I have about Sundays for the sole reason that I have to have a day off!!! [Silent scream here while I mime pulling out my hair.] I've mostly succeeded although I do have to look at the material for my 9:30 a.m. class tomorrow. I'd rather do it now than get up at some unearthly hour.

I'm starting to make mental lists of what needs to be done this week/soon/yesterday-but-hasn't-happened-yet. I need to get to Sams Club to buy stuff for the prize box. We're almost out, and running out would be scarier than a 10-year-old boy's ideal Halloween costume. I should put in an order to Oriental Trading Company, too. Did someone ask put something on our next order? I can't remember. I should ask Laura if she needs anything, though.

I should be on Kindermusik stuff for next semester. We should hand out schedules very soon to our current students. I also need to make a recital announcement for piano/violin/flute students. We need to schedule a date to play at the Christian bookstore. I want to play at the clinic, too. Am I forgetting anything? It'll come to me...

And I need to clean my room. I always feel better after that. =)

I think I should have stayed up during last night's extra hour.
