Nurse! Get a coffee line stat!!!!

Ever have one of those days that was brought to you by coffee?  Today is one of those days.  Tomorrow and Saturday probably will be too.  Here's the perfect description:

I just finished cup #3, thinking about cup #4, and I have a Red Bull in the staff lounge fridge.

Why, you ask?

Simple.  Today is a concert day.  2nd and 3rd grade, to be precise.  They're doing a program titled "Music Around the World."  It's all music out of Music K-8 magazine.  This is the best I have felt about a grade level performance in a long time.  We had our dress rehearsal performance for the whole school this morning.  If the kids can do as well tonight as they did this morning, this may be the best show yet.  I am hopeful to have some pictures and possibly some video, but we'll see.

The best part is that tomorrow I am helping a friend up the road and have to be in her band room at 7:00, then at work a little after 8, then I have to go to another friend's house and load up my car to do a craft fair on Saturday in Leesburg.  Nothing like a car crammed full of stuff, a 3 1/2 hour drive, 6-8 hours of craft show, reloading the car and a 3 1/2 hour drive home to get the blood flowing.  I may see about installing a coffee Camelbak in my car.  If I make it to Saturday night it may be a small miracle.

It's interesting, I was at a rehearsal a few nights ago talking with another music teacher who was telling me about how crazy things were schedule-wise in her house.  She and her husband are both elementary music teachers, and involved in different ensembles and whatnot, and constantly running in different directions.

Hooray for all of us crazy music teachers and all of the crazy things we're into.

Hooray.
