doh!

This week has been again incredibly busy.. trying to finish everything for school... finishing edits...mailing things...groceries...work...
does it ever end?
How is it possible to take on more?
Why do I WANT to do more?
I am insane.
So this week I ended up helping out Emma's teacher, which in a way, is my responsibility since I am her room mom. But this was beyond the party planning and supply grabbing. (i did that too, since it was teacher appreciation week)
Emma's third grade class had been working on perfoming a play [a midsummer nights dream] and it came down to crunch time. I went in to the class for something for TAW and ended up helping with costumes and scenery. Then came dress hehearsal and oh my gosh, third graders are a little bit obnoxious! maybe I don't want to teach third grade... made me think twice about it! but Kurt steared me back on track with his wise words that once I am 'the teacher' I will be in control and they will do what I say. Is that true? I don't know. i think some kids are just wild and disobedient period. anyway, they did REALLY well with their lines, most of them, and their costumes were great. It was a lot of work for me so I can't imagine how run down Emma's teacher is after working on it for 2 months. Anyway, I was so involved with sending kids out on stage at the right time, I forgot to take some pictures. So you will just have to take my word for it, that it happened, it was great, and now... Its OVER!

oblivion

I have been completely swamped lately and have no time to tell the tale.
I had a wonderful mothers day! My meals were made for me, and I got to plant a garden with Kurt and the kids :) I missed them all very much after being out of town for 4 days. The workshop was awesome! I want to go again, just to soak it all in. seriously, amazing. I got to take charley with me this time, so that in itself was a little adventure. She has picked up a little bit of my road rage vocabulary from driving in downtown SLC... its not pretty words either. So you might learn a few things if you pay close attention to what she is saying. And I have to hugely thank Mom and Les for watching the little motor mouth (right?) for me while I was there. It was worrisome for me for both of you cause she can be a bit of a time consumer... she likes to talk, and usually if you are not looking at her when she has something to say, she will put her hands on your cheeks and turn your head to her. I get that a lot. :) anyway, thanks again. I think I am ready for being home for a while. Its hard to be away from my environment. I miss home a lot at night. I love my bed and the warm St George nights. I don't like being cold anymore. 90's are JUST right. SERIOUSLY!! So I guess thats it for now. I must get back to the grind.

peace out All!
