Hello, friends.
I didn't get the job.
After you heard from me last, I had a long but productive taiko practice for the performance this evening. I came home exhausted, but not stressed about 11:15. At 5:30 the phone rang to offer me a job. For some reason, though, the job itself was locked in the system. I kept checking it all morning (note: did not go back to sleep) and took a quick shower and got out work clothes. When I took the kids to school, it was still locked. When I came back, though, it was open, and I got it...but it was 7:25, and I was supposed to be there at 7:15. I left a message at the school saying I was on the way, grabbed a lunch and rushed out of the house with wet hair.
Then, I stood up all day. I was subbing for the elementary school music teacher, so I spent the day watching The Nutcracker, a film about Bach, and this: http://animusic.com/ If you are a teacher and have to be gone, this is PERFECT to show k-3 graders. I had a great time watching it, myself! Anyway, lots of walking around to check on kids, and answer questions. The two main questions were, "Can I go to the bathroom?" and, "Is this real?" The kids were really pretty good, and I got to sit by Abbie at lunch! It was a really great day, but as soon as I had both kids (Grant caught a shuttle to from Discovery with Ethan K.) and was sitting down in the car, I started to feel how exhausted I was.
Josh was late last night, so we had hotdogs and watched Pirates of the Caribbean after our homework and music practice were done, and after Cierra came over for a surprise visit with her dog, Logan. They all played in the front yard for about 20-ish minutes.
Then, the sweet oblivion of sleep.
In a minute I'm going to check my costume pieces and take a shower and do my hair. Then, groceries MUST be bought. The cupboards have been bare, but I worked yesterday instead of buying food. After that, I get ready for picking the kids up, taking them to Josh's work, getting Michelle and going to our taiko performance! Gonna be fun. I'd invite you, but this is not one of the public shows. We will be at Celebrate The World in Maryland Heights this February, though!
Did I tell you I finished Northanger Abbey? I was right. MUCH funnier after reading The Mysteries of Udolpho. And another thing, it's much more lovable after having seen the film version with Felicity Jones. I really didn't like Catherine much before I saw her fresh, innocently ignorant candour in the movie. That is my official recommendation: 1. See the film. 2. Read Udolpho. 3. Read Northanger Abbey. It works that way.
I asked Josh for a Powerball ticket, but he didn't get me one. Did you hear that one of the two winners was sold in Missouri? I did.
Here are some of my latest song choices. What do you think?
