Saturday

The weather hasn't been too hot. The last 2 days and today I've worked outside and gotten sweaty! Yesterday, after working out at the gym, my left foot was hurting as usual and, after working in the yard, it was REALLY hurting. Even after I came in and sat down and massaged it, it was hurting SO bad. It was about a 7 on the pain scale. The good thing was that it would stop for about a minute. Kind of like labor contractions! Anyway, I called Dr. Richards office and got a appointment for SEPT. 11!! Luckily it only hurts like that after working out and/or wearing tennis shoes for a long time (like, 2 hours). I googled a bunch of stuff about foot pain and I've diagnosed it as "Morton's Neuroma". So, really, the dr. should pay me. haha

I've had so many things on my list and I've gotten half of them marked off. The bad thing is, though, I have 3 or 4 more things everyday that don't get put on the list but do get done. So, really, I'm sort of taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

I now have 11 students. I should have 12 and they should all be 45 minutes lessons, but some are 30 minute. And 1 of them is a kindergartener and said she didn't want to play! Normally, I wouldn't take a student who says right in front of me that she doesn't want to play the piano, but I need the money, and I need this experience of teaching a 5 year old.

First Day of School

Today went well until I found out a certain girl who is in Molly's homeroom and I think in several classes with her. That was the gray cloud over my head the whole day. Molly's better friends are all in other families.
Add to that the fact that several of Lacey's friends are good friends with another girl (who Lacey doesn't know) in the class and they talk to her more than her (Lacey).
It is so hot here. I hated having my hair fixed, wearing slightly nicer clothes than I usually wear, walking to Natcher 3 times, sitting at Sonic after school to "celebrate" the first day, sweating all the way. I went from having a good hair day to a bad hair day all because of the heat. I finally changed into workout clothes and put my hair in a ponytail.
I had to get up at 6 to get Molly up. She got up easily and later said, "I got up too early". She looked cute walking up the street with Perry to catch the bus.
I'm excited about this weekend (the discipleship retreat). I found out that there is a fridge, microwave and small stove in our "cabin". I will be able to have cold skim milk! Yay!
