Sing me a song, you're the piano man!

Or piano woman, if you will!

As you know, this year I've been subbing for extra income. This job has not been without its interesting stories. I've been asked out on a date, told that a girl still had her dead dog, and most recently broken up a fight between two jr high kids! As fun as that is, it's booooring. I'm not doing any actual teaching most days, it's just glorified babysitting with a name badge.

About a month ago, after much prayer and research, I decided I was going to open my own lesson studio in our home! I was nervous - I knew I could do these things, but would others trust me enough to teach them?

Apparently the answer was yes! Registration has been open for 3 weeks, and as of yesterday, I have 10 students signed up! I have openings for 20 - I needed 10 to be able to not sub next year, but my hubby told me if I fill all 20 slots, I can hire a housekeeper as well, since we'll have people in and out of the house all the time.

And in case there was any question, yes, I can be bribed with housework!

Chirp, chirp. Chirp, chirp.

No, those aren't the birds on my newly redesigned blog you're hearing. It's crickets.

What?

Yes, crickets. I'm really not that good at keeping up with this thing. K says I need to be recording all of the times I fall or do something stupid in here, and while I'm sure yall would enjoy that, it just doesn't paint me in the best light.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot lately. It's like my brain just won't shut off and I'm trying to process all of these thoughts that are coming into my head. Jobs. Babies. Death. Church. Jews. (Yes, Jews.) There are so many things that I can barely take a minute to collect my own thoughts and go through the day, much less bring all of those thoughts into one coherent thought and make that thought into a blog post. However, writing things out seems to somehow provide clarity, so once again, I will take up my blog writing and you can think along with me!

Or go running in the other direction and remove my blog from your favorites. It's whatever.
