pneumonia
Okay, so I've been away for quite a long time. Mostly I was working! Boring I know! Everytime something crazy happened, I asked myself, "is this blog worthy?", and it rarely was. So then I got pneumonia, and while having it isn't exactly "blog worthy" I decided I wanted to post anyway. So there. So what shall I talk about?
I'll tell you all about my new side job. I'm teaching with Music Together, and it's a lot of fun. Well, it is now... Ya see, before they actually let you teach you have to apprentice and then give two solo demo classes. I thought "no problem!" after all I have been on stage for most of my life. The day of the demo came, and I was really nervous because I wasn't feeling too healthy, and we had just returned from California, so I was just not my best. I can look back on the day now with some perspective, and I did a pretty decent job, but there was a mother there with two kids. She didn't participate all that much, and when I offered to take one of the boys off her hands for the third song, she replied with "it's about time you offered" What the?!?!?!!?!?!? And then after the class was over, she said to my director in front of me "Well, she was good, but we just love Amy". Who the flip is Amy?!?!?!?! So now, this poor Amy has been my arch nemisis. She doesn't know it, since she and I have never actually met, but it's just the role I designated for her.
Back to the pneumonia. If you've never had pneumonia, I'm not sure you'll understand what I'm about to say, but it was the closest thing I've had to a vacation since I had a cesarean and was in the hospital for four days. I do feel bad for my poor husband having to be a single dad for a few days, but he survived it, and I finally rested. I guess it's our age, in this time, but it seems like everybody I know is just running around like a chicken without a head. Why do we do it to ourselves? I feel like what's-her-name from Oklahoma, because I'm just a girl who cain't say no! Being hauled up in bed for a few days gives you a new perspective on your life. I had to find a substitute for my MT classes, and the world didn't end! I had to turn down a paying gig, and the world didn't end! I had to call in sick to the office, and the world didn't end! My husband had to feed and clothe our son for four days, and the world didn't end! Ya see where I'm going with this?
The cherry on the sundae is, that when I got back to MT classes this week, the moms said that the sub was great, but they really missed me!
And the sprinkles on the sundae are Amy is leaving the program, and I'm taking over four of her classes. See, there's always something good waiting in the wings.
Until next time! :)
