So we have good days and bad days, right? I don't like the bad days...and I don't like it when my friends have to hear about it, so my apologies for my pity party yesterday.
Today was better. It was a long ass day. It started the same - got to school at 6:45 a-freakin'-m. That should just be illegal, but whatevs. The power went out about 4 times throughout the day. Not sure why...but one student started the rumor that our schools was THE only school in the state of Maine that was open because power was out every where. I promised the kids a party every day for the next 2 weeks if that turned out to be true. I was confident I would win this bet. They were, too. Silly kids. After school I had rehearsal with my students who are going to the honors festival and then I had a voice lesson with my 8th grade student who you will one day see on American Idol. Then I quickly went to KFC to get gourmet mac & cheese, drove through Dunks for some coffee and drove back to school for rehearsals for Westbrook Idol to act as "vocal coach" to the contestants. That lasted until 9:30. I. Am. TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Yup. Wiped. Zonked. Pooped. Tuckered out. But....it was so great, because this contest is open to all of Westbrook - not just students - adults, too. And 5 of my students made it. And they're really good. 2 of them have a good shot at getting into the final 5...maybe even 3 of them. My cheeks hurt from smiling tonight. So I am a very proud teacher right now. I was in my glory, let me tell you. And a couple former students made it, too...yup...happy Ms. Murray today.
But now I'm tired...going nighty night so the happy, proud Ms. Murray does not become psycho, grumpy Ms. Murray tomorrow. Children beware :)
