I'm Bad at this whole "Writing Thing"!!!

Ha! so I that I was going to write at least once a week!!... well that hasn't happen... But I am not giving up yet!!! So here is my attempt for the week... and if we get a stream of writings in the next couple of days... that's ok by me!!




SO what's new? Well I have newish job! Instead of subbing a few days a week like I was... I am now in a long term subbing position in a special-ed room at Meadowbrook Elementary School. It is quite fun and I really enjoy the kids and teaching. I will not lie, it is a bit strange.. seeing teachers I remember from High School, who has retired now and came back to an elementary school for the fun of it!...I remember being terrified of these people... and now I eat lunch with them and discuss our kids... it’s kind of comical! Also, because I am subbing for the lead teacher, I have 2 paraprofessionals that are under me... both are older and I feel rather intimidated not knowing what they think of this little girl who is now kinda their supervisor!.. I found out that I went to high school with one of the lady's daughter... how would you feel if a girl who was your little girl's friend in high school was you superior?... it rather odd! Anyhow...

I am teaching more music lessons now!!... I have 3 students... all different instruments! Cello, Voice and can you believe it Guitar... she is only 7 and doesn't know anything so I am starting her from the very bottom. Its really fun! She knows a scale and 2 chords right now! I'm so proud of all my students!!

Oh and other new development... I'm in the play "Cheaper by the Dozen" I am playing Lillian Gilbreth.. That's the mom... Yes the mother of 12 children! And My husband is being played by man who is a bit more convincing in the role of a father with 12 kids!..It really is so fun and it’s good to be on stage again! It really is my favorite thing...yes I prefer when I get to sing, but I love strait theatre! I just love playing a part, memorizing my lines and actions and especially putting on the makeup and costume and really being someone else!

I am getting rather nervous... Next week I am going down to CU (Colorado University at Boulder) for a live audition in the Music Dept! I can't wait to jump back into school and being singing full time again, but I can't help but be a little nervous to audition to one of the top 10 music schools in the country! :)

Well that is all for now I'll try and keep this writing up!
