Stress

So it's been quite awhile since I've updated my blog. Middle of May=most stressful time of the year. Both my school calendar and my personal calendar are bursting at the seams. If I can make it until next week, it may be a miracle. Today's problem: kids missing lessons. We are not only into field trip season, but the time of the year when gym classes go outside and recess is outside. While its great for the kids, it's a nightmare for your local instrumental teacher. Even after a reminder this morning to check the lesson schedule, I had many repeat offenders today. But finally I've gotten a bit smarter. Instead of fretting over it, I simply e-mailed the parents and left a note for each child that they will receive tomorrow. Why I didn't think of this earlier in the year is a mystery. Oh well. Live and learn.

Today's Stress Meter:
One cup of coffee
One Mt. Dew
Too many pieces of chocolate to count
