The weekend...short summary, drove to the eastern part of the state to visit with one of my sisters. We worked out most of Saturday, went home after church on Sunday. Twelve hours of driving (about 620 miles). For the last two days I have been subbing in the morning and doing my regular job in the afternoon. The morning job is as the music teacher at an elementary school. This week the students have the "dance dude" teaching dance during a combined P.E./music class. Throughout the day the grade level classes come in and learn dances for about 35 minutes. For me that means 2 and 1/2 hours of electric slide, west coast swing, and the Virginia reel ( and a few others I can't remember the name of....oh yeah, kindies are learning the macarena)' I am beat! Yesterday, when i got home I got something to eat and then the low blood sugar kicked in and I needed to doze for about half an hour. Today i was smarter and actually brought lunch, so I'm fine.
My regular kids in the afternoon were pills. Talking while getting started, talking while lining up, talking during points. They had had a sub for the two hours before they met with me and were wound up. We practiced lining up three times before they got it right. And it's mid-terms already so I'm meeting with kids who are behind and giving them until Friday to turn in missing work. One assignment can raise a grade from an F to a C, hopefully they will have the missing work. I need to do some real lesson planning today, one of my classes switched books so i need to see what it's all about.
be blessed even in the busy-ness of the day
