rantings, ravings and general thoughts
I'm leaving my classes with a substitute tomorrow for the first time.... I feel almost like a mother leaving her child with another care giver for the first time. I don't trust another person to watch them. Part of me is breathing sighs of relief because I'm getting a break and part of me is tied in knots. Teaching is a strange, strange profession. Anyway - I'm leaving for GMEA in the morning. Good times!
I'm tired. It's been a long week. All I've got to say is, "Thank goodness for MLK day holiday!" I'm getting excited about the conference that I'm attending at the end of the month. The Georgia Music Educators Association conference is in Savannah, GA. (One of my favorite cities in the world!) This will be the first year that I will attend as a professional and not as a student - so, that's new and fun! I hope that I learn tons. However, beyond all the learning, I'm really looking forward to seeing some old friends again. I'm rooming with two fellow brand new music teachers/good friends that I haven't seen in a while. I'm looking forward to catching up! "The Whole Nine Yards" is on... good movie... I'm going to go watch. Pass the popcorn.
It's been a while since I posted... I survived the first week back at school after Christmas break. (Thank goodness!!) I'm excited about some of the ideas that I have for the bands... We just started a basketball pep band. The band played at their first game on Friday and did a fantastic job! I was so proud of them!! The next game is on Wednesday - and I'm looking forward to it. I'm trying to decide what music to order for our Spring Concerts..... hmm... any ideas? Tim started his student teaching.... YAY for him!
I can see that....

Well, Happy 2005 to everyone! I survived the changing of the guards... spent a quiet evening at Tim's parent's house with him. We just watched a little TV, played some card games with his grandfather, raced a little "Mario-Cart" and then watched Regis bring the ball down. It was quite odd not seeing Dick Clark in ol' Times Square, was it not? I feel old now. I know that all of you that are older than me laugh at comments like that - but I do! I would rather sit curled up on the sofa and give my baby a little kiss at the strike of midnight than be in the midst of a blow-out party like I used to attend. Hmm... Anyway. I'm really having a hard time picking an official "Resolution." I have lots of things that I want to do. It's hard to pick just one. I'll get back to you on that.
