Thursday
I got up late (5:45), but went quickly through my morning routine, guzzled a protein shake, and ran my new course that I charted yesterday. It has a HUGE hill I have to run up, which I did, and then was too tired to maintain my pace for the next few miles. I walked/ran the rest of the course. This will be a challenge.
I got home, showered, and drove the kids to school, then came home and taught piano lessons. At noon I went to the office to work. I found my dad there, struggling with some problem clients, so I worked on HIS taxes (which are late because he keeps forgetting to get all his paperwork together), until 3:00, when I went home to get ready for my last group lesson of the semester. I've been telling all my students that I'll be taking a sabbatical for summer, so with a couple of exceptions, no lessons until the end of August. It is really a relief to know I get some time off.
I have a contract job accompanying the Junior High band students for District Music Festival, so I spent about 35 minutes reading through their accompaniments and earmarking the ones I'll need to spend some time on.
My students arrived at 4:00. I awarded trophies and ribbons to the students who participated in the piano festival last Saturday. A one is the highest rating. I had seven students participate--4 got ones, 2 got twos, and 1 got a three (and I'm cutting her some slack since it was her first time and she was pretty scared). I was proud of them for participating even though I couldn't be there. They did well!!
I was finished teaching at 5:00, and decided to go for a walk. I got my across-the-street-carpool-mom friend to go with me, and we walked for about an hour. Her parents are in poor health and she needed to vent.
Darrin, Jr. had dinner ready when I got home ( I LOVE that boy!!)--ravioli and spinach salad. I tried to eat, but only managed a bit of salad and one ravioli. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow. Darrin, Jr. had a concert tonight, and Darrin had meetings (AGAIN!!), so I left Tabitha and Adam home to finish homework and read, and went to Darrin, Jr's concert with him. It was really good. I sat with some old friends, which was fun.
We got home at 8:30. I put the kids to bed as my mom called me wanting me to do some editing on some papers for her students. I finished two of the ten, then got bored and stopped. I'll do the rest in the morning. Darrin got home and did e-mail while I wrote in my blog. We went to bed around 10:00--sleep came quickly and easily.
