Create in me a clean heart
I just realized God must be doing some major spring cleaning of my heart. Looking at the last month, I now see that something wonderful has got to be in His plan for me and He’s just preparing the way!
WatchThere, too much cuteness to be upset anymore!
Family Feud
Remember how I said I was done being pouty? I still am!
Only we just had a ginormous blow up with the parents in law which ended with us driving away while my MIL stood glaring at me with her fists balled up.

So bad. But driving home at 10:30, emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted… Just as we pulled into the neighborhood, N*Sync’s Bye, Bye, Bye came on the radio.

I am a whiny, mucousy mess.
But there is SO MUCH TO DO! It happens like clockwork. I get sick 4-6 days before major performance week. I have a concert on Saturday and on Tuesday. I need to pack up my computer and get a freaking nap!

From radboyscout
I run musiceducators.tumblr.com. There are a lot of music educators on tumblr, but I always find it difficult to locate them. The roll call helps, but I think a Music Education tag would benefit the education community here on tumblr.

So for all the music education educators out there, what do you think of “Music Education” as...
Nested Dolls.
Inside the frames, the bodies, the souls of our children, reside the children still to come. And the children then still to come.
Like nestled dolls, future generations dwell within the child whose eyes I now look into, whose hands I now touch.
This is a beautiful, thoughtful essay on how the way we treat children can have an impact on children for multiple future generations….

Or however that quote goes. I need this on a t-shirt. Feels like the past week has been a barrage of assult. It’s like every corner I turn, there’s another one. Eeek! Parents. Kids. Other teachers. Seriously. Give me 5 minutes to calm down.

27 hours until departure for my sister’s bachelorette party and I’ve already cried and hung up on my mom re: chocolate truffles, snapped at Alex when he suggested it was Wednesday and I still had two nights to pack, and eaten a croissant and pint of blackberries. Give me all the chocolate.
