I guess I haven't posted much lately. :-) Now that it's back to the grindstone, I have less free time and am trying to get to bed earlier. It was working until last night. Mark is in Toronto and the bed is somehow not as comfortable without him in it.
The next 6 months are going to be a whirlwind. I'm teaching a full adjunct load as usual, but the difference is that I have 3 students who are giving senior recitals this semester and another 2 that aren't my students but who have asked me to sit on the faculty committee for theirs. For each of them that's a hearing, extra rehearsals, advising on their senior thesis papers and the research for their full program info.
It's more daunting since it's coming at the same time I'm taking on some new ventures as well. I'll be teaching 2 group voice classes for the school in Costa Mesa (I've capped the classes at 20 each) and I've also officially joined the worship team at church as well. Since they're excited to have my expertise on board, they've made me a team leader and I will also be team-teaching the group bible study and giving mini-lectures to teach about hymns at the hymn-sing series we'll be starting.
The good news is that one inflexible aspect of my schedule is that I will never do anything that will prevent me from taking Jake to school every day and picking him up every afternoon. I teach at the univ from 10-2 Mon-Thurs, and volunteer in Jake's class on Friday. I scheduled the group classes so that they are the same evening as worship study/rehearsal so I'm only gone one evening. Jake loves his "man night" with Daddy. And I've stopped accepting new private students and consolidated my remaining into one afternoon so I only teach at home one afternoon per week.
I'm still a little scared thinking of it all.
And then...the day after Jake graduates from kindergarten is the 2-day Gigi party!

So, HB, what do you do in your spare time????? It is great to have a post from you. It is exciting to know how well you are scheduling everything. Now, if we could only hear from your sister and brother in law! MB
YIKES, HB!! - But then I used to do similarly, too :-) with "my" time in/with the "arenas" the Lord put into play in "my" life too - although NOW He is "paring" me down/back, sigh, but thats ok now, too. Just PRAY your way through it and you'll make it ok!! THAT was my BIG error with some of the "arenas" and BOY did I (and at times) my FAMILY (D&N, I'm SO sorry!) "pay" for it! :-<
Yes, (AHEM!) I also "vote" that it has been FAR too long since we heard from "Denver", too!
