The weeks are flying by...

This week was pretty uneventful, voice wise. It was a slow week and I kept myself in check. The microphone is second nature now and the "quiet time" is getting to be. I have noticed that I often tell Cody he is yelling. Gee where does he get that from? I am really sensitive to the volume all of a sudden. Sooooo, I apologize for being so loud all these years, how annoying. I'm still working on it though, I know I am not always as quiet as I should be but I recognize it much more these days. I'm enjoying my life right now. The class is wonderful, the boys are fun and the rest of my life is settling down nicely. There is so much to enjoy and look forward to right now. I wish the same for all of you. I'm a lucky girl!

HA! Again!

I sang today! La, la, la, la, la, la , la... and it sounded damn good. Well... I was the only one in the car and I could possibly be tone deaf. But whatever. I felt good. It didn't feel strained or anything. I made it through the first cold of the season(it wasn't easy). AND I SANG TODAY PEOPLE! Watch out Mariah, Melissa is in the house. (I can dream can't I?) Stop laughing, it could happen.

Mel out!

Sniff, Sniff

No I'm not crying. I have caught my first cold of the year. Minor, tiny even-- but enough to be annoying. I am chugging fluids, taking Day Quil and Airborne. Thank goodness for the long weekend(thank you, Christopher Columbus). My voice will be well rested. It is always harder when I have a cold, it seems to go right to the vocal cords. Oh well...life goes on. Soup, rest and liquids. Yeah, that's tough to take.

Mel Out!

Another great week!

Things went very well this week. Religious Ed class was tough because I forgot my water bottle. I won't make that mistake again. It was great to be with Cody even though he said I was mean. "Mom, you were mean at Religion class. You didn't call on me when I raised my hand. I knew all the answers and you wouldn't call on me." I did in fact call on him several times, but I explained to him there are 5 other children that would like to participate. Yeah, he doesn't care. I'm mean. Oh well.

I watched the social speaking as well this week and a wonderful parent gave me a "dog clicker" to assist in the classroom. Those of you who are from the 70's will remember the little annoying tin noise makers that we used to drive our parents crazy. The ones with the little insects on the end, the size of a barrette. I have actually been looking for something similar all summer with no luck. This clicker works great. It's just loud enough to get their attention. I call it a "kid clicker". Things are going very well in the classroom. I'm happy, the kids are happy. It's all good.
