Well, I got the confirmation email from Canon. It is going to cost me 120 dollars to get my new ElphSD450 fixed. The LCD screen was jacked up! So, I guess it's worth it. So, beware folks in 7 business days "she" will be back in business with new pictures! Yea!!!!

So, it'sHUMP day. I'm sitting in 4th period with 3 kids. Why? The rest of them are on a field trip. Why is the days that we really need to get the ball rolling on our music there is a field trip. So, what am I doing in this spare free time? Blogging. Yes, Blogging.

Last night I went to bed at 8:45pm. No lie...but I awoke to the slamming and banging of my roommate...I don't think she realized I was home and asleep. So, really didn't fall asleep until 10:30. But, the idea of being in bed that early was grand. I needed it so much. I hit a wall yesterday about noon and thought my body was getting sick. But, mind over matter folks!
I spent the evening at Highland Park Middle School. Man, I love that area....my friend Tara is the choir director there...she just got engaged. So, while everyone else was working...and by the way...we were supposed to be....I was listening to her exciting story. I then got stuck in a room with about 200 girls turning pages for the piano player. Intense job let me tell you. We have Region Choir clinic this Friday and Saturday. I wish I had wireless...boy would that be nice..then I could play on my computer all day. Probably a good thing I don't...so I can catch up on my reading and SLEEPING! Don't worry, I'm going to bring my pillow and blanket to Waxahachie...what a horrible place. Never fear, it is the Fast Food Mecca of the world...

So, tonight is my last night to lead my high school girl's life group. After some hard prayer and guidance from others, I decided to hand the leadership to my two college girls Lauren and Katherine. After the leadership retreat this weekend,I realized I was being disobedient. It's so hard to say no sometimes to something you want to do but just can't. It's not fair to those leaders who will give the time and prayer and energy to devote their time and their heart to 20 high school girls. I realized that geographically it's impossible for me to be involved in their lives. I live 35 minutes away from them. In rush hour traffic it takes me over an hour. So, it's only fair.....I was frustrated. But, I have every confidence in the world that these two AHHHMAZING girls will lead them with amazing selflessness.

Anyways, so, no real news. Just busy as can be. This weekend is Region choir then singing at church on Sunday. I have to be there at 630am. So, that means no sleeping in on Saturday or Sunday. Wow. Then a week from today I fly to San Antonio for the Texas Music Educator's conference. And, believe you me I will be catching up on my sleep! It will be a good trip. I tend to get overwhelmed at these conventions but I'm thankful for the time away during the busy season...and knowing that every other choir director is there too makes me feel much better. I fly back on Saturday around noon just in time to celebrate the weekend. Then, off to Abilene for Sing Song and Leigh Ann's shower the next weekend....followed by the Cowtown 10K on the 25th. Geez, what was I thinking for real!

So, breathe today people...breathe. I said that yesterday.

Pray for a miracle for Baby Ira. I'm get so frustrated reading that blog. Ugh.
