take_the_goodIt's funny how the "supposed to be normal" days always end up being the ones that are the craziest. We had science fair projects to do today, which is always a little more chaos than normal. The music teacher ended up going home sick so I was music teacher at the last minute. Then some of the kids/teachers had a special meeting come up so I was math teacher for a little bit too. Then the art teacher tells me she remembers me mentioning that my family weaves baskets and she volunteered me to do a demonstration at Frontier Day in two weeks. And maybe teach some of the kids too.
...I haven't woven a basket in several years. But still, she's right that I'm interested in this. Apparently they've been looking for staff who would be willing to teach the kids some new crafts on the occasional after-school period and if it worked out for next year it'd be extra money doing something fun (and without having to drive anywhere extra!) so I'm all for it!
So this weekend will be hunting around Tucson for basket-weaving supplies. Then studying my old baskets to get the measurements and amounts of reeds I'll need. And THEN possibly making a sort of wooden spacer so that it's easier for the kids to set up their frame. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Please please PLEASE let this work out well!
Tomorrow starts the RPM Challenge and I'm excited to start recording! I already have about 5 songs written up and ready to go! Also tomorrow is ASL class again so wheee another full day ahead!
For now it's plum wine and some relaxation.
