What a week....

Or two or three or month or two months.....  Sorry I have been a deadbeat blogger.  Life has been hard, very hard, frustrating, exhausting, overwhelming......I have not been myself, I am sorry that I haven't shared any antics lately.  Will you forgive me?

Backwards blog?

What do you think? Should I backwards blog??? This summer has been WAY stressful and WAY TO busy... I HOPE that the feeling of stress and exhaustion is over. So... here are couple pics of my little cuties after the Sugar Creek Arts Fest:)

Baseball Summer 2011

Well, if you follow the antics of our family on here or on Facebook you know that we have had some interesting expereiences with Killian and T-ball; so we were beginning to worry about this summer, as we moved on to coach pitch baseball.  Today was Killian's first "game" as a BlueJay and he did GREAT!!!!  We were so proud of him, he tried, he focused (well as much as a 6 year old can with so much going on) and he actually had fun!!!!  Here are some cute shots from the day:)

Too cold...

I really can't believe I am going to say this, but it is TOO COLD for a pool party tonight!!!  Very glad (don't tell my students) that it is cancelled, I would have been the orchestra teacher in a hoodie at the pool:)
Instead I am going to eat some delicous kabobs (garlic pepper skewered pork and veggies), watch the Tony's AND price stuff for my garage sale.

Relieved...

I am slightly relieved and happy to say that Unit 5 has now hired my replacement for Parkside Jr. High Orchestras... they hired a former student, Jon Daly.  He is out of the country right now but as soon as he gets back I will be able to turn things over to him and focus on my NEW job at Evans Jr. High School.
I am also relieved and excited to find out that I have been named Music Building Chair for Evans Jr. High.  I will head the department there next year!  I am excited about that!!!!
