Knee-Deep in Packing Tape

Sorry I'm off the map! I am splitting my time between baseball games, Preschool end-of-year events, planning a wedding trip to Alabama, and packing 12 years worth of general music teaching. Purging, packing, passing on...all those boxes with someone else's name and location on them. *sigh* I will say, I am starting to look at next year as a new adventure of sorts. New people, new room (actually, it's more of an outdated old cave than my current room!), new students (okay, some of those are old too!), and new teaching strategies. There are times I find it hard to shake the feeling that I'll never be back to elementary music, but I am trying. I really shouldn't complain...I will still have a job and it's in music. That's the meat and potatoes that should matter in terms of my career. My good friend (and other half of "The Dream Team") is struggling this week as she prepares to say goodbye altogether. I cannot blame her. The whole building consists of rooms burgeoning with boxes of entire careers in them. I am really praying that she gets the job she interviewed for last week. So...we keep going. May in all it's chaotic glory plus some. I am really looking forward to this summer! Give me 2 1/2 more weeks and I'll be golden!
