Spring Madness

We have had a lot going on like normal. All our field trips are over and I tried to go to most of the them. Fire station, farm, zoo. William was sick the day of his feild trip which was pretty sad. But-he did have his first pinewood derby. Dave worked really hard on the Bat Mobile and it did pretty well. Also, we are almost finished with all our performances. Spring Sing, piano, Musical Munchkins, and the FUSE Disney Show was last night. Holly was throwing up, but decided she wanted to come do her solo and she was sooooo cute I thought I would die. We only have preschool graduation and kindergarten sing left!

I officially quit piano. I sent my mass email and all my clients are looking for new teachers. Its been a little emotional for me, but I didn't cry at my recital. I've substituted a few days now and am desperately missing piano lessons every time I do. Being my own boss, working one on one, teaching a fun subject. Subbing has been hard and I have been left with out good instructions a couple times already. The pay isn't as good and the work is way harder. I've known for a while though this is what I need to do. Dave and the kiddos have been very supportive with substituting. I actually get to sub Allison's class on Tuesday-shes pumped. I've never seen Dave so productive when I'm working. I don't know why but he's been super dad when I've subbed. (what was going on during piano the past 8 years though?) I ended with a wonderful American Recital and we all sang God Bless America. Even better the recital was 30 minutes!

I also officially changed the kids school for next year. We will be attending Iriving Elementary. I'm nervous about it, but once again know this is what we need to do for the sake of William. He needs more time to move about and not have as much homework. He has had anxiety and major breakdowns daily all year long. I know this won't fix his problems, but hopefully ease the stress a little.

I went to Disneyland with my friend Calli and had a blast. It was like girls camp but better because I wasn't camping! David finally is starting trauma care at the hospital and is on the trauma team which is an honor. So far nothing too exciting for him but we'll see if it turns out well.

Our pool has been broken AGAIN! It was a swamp for a long time until I begged Dave to drain it. Daily my piano students would be disgusted when they looked out the window. When we filled it up though it was still going green! We are trying a new hose and I'm praying it will fix the problem going into summer.

Since I've stopped piano I feel like I still haven't had time to do anything! I've been subbing or just been trying to catch up. We have had major throw ups around here. Allison has had three round this month, David 2 rounds this month, Holly three rounds this month, and William once. I am soooo done! With laundry, with throw up, with everyone being sick! But-I am grateful I haven't got it because the whole house falls apart when I do. And I haven't had a single day to be sick or even take the girls to the park! Hopefully these last 2 weeks of school will calm a little.

Few-well that was it for now I guess. I feel very blessed to have the life I do. It is a tremendous blessing to be able to work, serve, and learn. I've seen blessing of tithing lately these past few months. When I went to add up my last month of piano money-it was way more than I expected. And, when we almost had to go into debt for a new pool pump, we only spent 100 on hoses and it seems to be helping. Great blessings. Dave's had a couple really great checks. William crashed our family room window and we are in debates on what to spend and how, hopefully those blessings will continue. Life is good. I love my three kids. David is a wonderful husband and works hard for our comfortable life.
