Alive and barely kickin'
I know my posts are few and far between but life is crazy this time of year. I'm currently in the midst of a Christmas play at my DK-2 building, a chorus/band/hand chime concert for 3-6, and a full school concert at my DK-6 building. In the middle of all these school concerts will be mom's full mastectomy, so this next month will be slightly more than stressful and emotionally trying. Church choir has a concert on Sunday December 16th, I'm doing a few sing outs with the Sweet Adeline's, I'm still teaching at the dance studio, and attempting to give piano lessons, and I have since applied for a position as Choral Director at our local Episcopalian church. I know, I'm crazy, but I seriously need to make more money. They've got me doing a 3 week trial run, so far I've done a choir rehearsal and this morning went to my first service (which is broadcast on the radio in both NY AND Canada!) Not sure about it. It's a VERY small congregation, and an even smaller choir. This may take some work. BUT, they have lots of kids and hand bells that aren't being used so you can bet if I get this job I will start a hand bell choir up!
I'm so ready for it to be December 21st at 3pm you don't even know. (that's when vacation starts). I'm thrilled to be having this little break this coming week, but at the same time I feel I could use the extra days to prepare for my upcoming concerts.
I'm starting to feel nervous for mom. She found out Friday that she will have to have chemo which originally wasn't the plan. She'll have a port put in and it will stay in for about a year. Her first round of chemo is after my Christmas vacation so I won't even be around for it which makes me really nervous and upset. It looks like I'll have to take a day off a work to be with her, which I will gladly do.
So that's life at the moment. I'm trying to stay sane and do things for myself on the weekends but that will change starting December 1st and I won't gain my weekends back until after Christmas. It's a wonder I can make it through the day.
I hope everyone is less stressed than I am. I read your posts everyday, but as I said earlier I've been so crazed and lacking free time.
Enjoy the holiday season.
