No new material...

I don't know about you guys, but as I move through my week some things happen and I immediately think "I'm going to blog about that!" But this week, I feel like I've been living in a whirlwind. With school in session, I feel busier than ever. So, yesterday, Trevor saw that I had been reading blogs, and he immediately gets this excited look on his face and says "Did you update your blog?" And, of course, I had to say "No, I've got nothin'!" Nothing exciting or funny to blog about. No funny new pictures to post. No new milestones to record. So excuse the random thoughts that I am about to blog about.
So part of the reason why I feel much busier is because I have recently acquired addtional piano students. All last year, I had 10 students. Over the summer I lost four of them due to them moving away. And summer tends to be pretty light anyway because people are out of town, etc. So as school was approaching, all the sudden my phone kept ringing with new people wanting to start piano. I've never EVER advertised that I teach piano. It all started with my friend asking me to teach her daughter. And it has just spread by word of mouth. I think piano teachers must be few and far between here in good ole Texas. And I just have a hard time saying no. (Does anyone relate?) So I've gone from 6 students to 13. And I am definitely at my limit! I'm going to have to say no if anyone else calls. Trevor thinks I'm crazy for saying yes the last couple of times. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you have three little ones running around unsupervised during lessons (one of them being 7 months old), it can be a tad bit stressful. Don't worry the baby is supervised...it's just the other two......
I try to make it the Y every day so I can get some exercise. But things like sick kids, doctor's appointments, playgroups, church activities, etc tend to creep into our schedule as well. Yesterday, I had a dentist appointment in the morning. After I put Grace on the bus, the other girls and I went to the dentist. (Yes, I had to take them with me because all my babysitters are back to school as well!) But, thankfully, they were very well behaved. After that was over, we decided to surprise Grace and have lunch with her at school. This is a tradition we started last year. We would always have lunch with her on Fridays. We probably won't do it every week this year, but we still like to go sometimes. They have a special parent's table set up, so it's really fun for the kids. After our lunch date, I decided I didn't want to go home yet. So, we headed to one of my favorite places for some shopping therapy. Target. Need I say more? I had nothing that I needed. I just wanted to go and wander the aisles and see what there was to see. (Can you tell that I have been cooped up in my house a little too much lately?) Right now they have some really cute stuff in their dollar section. And I also found some cute new Sunday shoes, and some new shirts and a skirt. Yeah! Nothing can put me in a good mood better than Target (or Costco) when I need to get out of the house! So, there, that's it, I'm done with my random ramblings. I hope everyone out there has had a great week!
