April 17, 2008--Crazy week

We have had such a crazy week so far. On Monday we went to the library and checked out some books and I've barely started the first one. Monday evening we got a call from the ball team that they've finally gotten a team together, so Jay started practices on Tuesday. He also had practice tonight. On Wednesday there was a team coming up from South Carolina to work on a house here in town that's going to be a home for troubled girls, and our church was bringing lunch for them. After that, I took one of the ladies to Terre Haute and we shopped for Passover, and I didn't even have time to comb my hair when I got back before it was time for church. One of the ladies I met at Co-op has started coming to our church and she's helping me in Missionettes now, so I only had to teach two clubs at once instead of four.

Then of course today is co-op, and yesterday the music teacher called and asked if I could help with the recorder class. She's got some students that are not catching on as quickly as the others and wanted me to take them into another classroom and teach them. I don't know how to play the recorder, but I can read music, so I agreed to do that. The girls taught me G, A, and B and I worked on those notes with two boys and a girl. One of the boys decided halfway through the class that he didn't want to take it anymore.

Share-the-Fun (the 4-H talent show) was on the calendar for tonight, but I wasn't sure if we were still having it or not. The lady at the extension office had said only two other acts had signed up, and had talked about canceling it. Today she called and said one girl had dropped out and she couldn't get a hold of the other girl and so she was saying the girls could just go on to the Area contest since they'd be winners by default. An hour later she called back and one of the girls was going, so it was still on. We rushed the girls through showers and they put on their leotards and I did their hair and make-up and we took off.

As the girls were going up on stage, I got a call on my cell phone. I had set it to vibrate. I looked at the number and knew it was important. Sure enough, it was my brother-in-law calling to say that my sister Emily is in labor. I was pretty excited. When I returned to my seat, the re-announced the girls since I'd missed it, and they did their ballet. It was beautiful. It turned out they did have competition, but the girls won and are going to the Area contest.

Tomorrow Erick is going to be gone at a Vision Team retreat for a couple of days. Our old church is paying for our church to go through it. Then Sunday is Passover and my family is coming down. I'm so ready for a week with nothing going on.
