Thursday April 4

Once I sent the kids off to school, I hopped right back in bed.

I did not get sleep last night!

Coughing mixed with breathing funny.....

Anyway, a nice long morning nap was very much needed!

I slept from 8:30-11!

Ya, I know it is lazy, but when you don't feel good, you body needs sleep to recover.

I went to Porter art smart class a little after lunch.

They painted the hands that they sculpted last class time.

Man my throat hurt and my energy (and patience) level was low!

But I survived and no one cried  :)

I came home and tried to get stuff cleaned up.

Again the energy level was low.

I did get dishes put away and counters washed.

I made some soup and cheese sandwiches for dinner.

Then I needed to figure out how much time it would take for the painting I am doing for the art class tomorrow.

I took Elsie and Porter downstairs with me and we pretended like they were my students.

I think it went well and I figured out a few kinks.

I think they had fun even though I was probably not patient enough with Porter......

Cause you know, he likes being goofy.

Anyway, I think it turned out pretty good.

I teach the paint class tomorrow for a friends daughters birthday party.

I am excited to see how it goes.

Madi has to quit her awesome credit union job when school ends unless she goes full time (because then it becomes a real person job, not a student intern job) and she doesn't want to go full time for her last summer home.

So we are talking about doing art classes together over the summer.

Which will be great because then she will help me get my butt in gear :)

I really am excited about the classes, not so excited about getting everything organized and advertised, etc....

So she will light a fire under me.

Anyway, prayers that I get sleep tonight and feel like a million bucks tomorrow :)
