Haven't posted in what feels like forever. It's been a long couple of weeks. Spent with the stress of videotaping and submitting my video - done today, finally - and testing and assessing my 30 students, entering all those report cards, scheduling an individual conference with each parent beginning next week, and then class, tonight. Sigh. Thank goodness it's almost Friday.
Tonight's BP class was definitely a challenging one. I was ready, with chorey learned, excited to sweat, but decided to bring Cassie because my mom was feeling sick and I didn't want to inconvenience her since the guys were at soccer practice. Cassie has stayed in the child care before and was excited, changing her clothes 4, yes, 4 times before we left. We walked into the gym and discovered the child care was CLOSED. Uh-huh. No one to care for the kids. So I went to the manager, told him I brought my child. What choice was there but to either let her come into the class, or have no class because there was nowhere to leave her? What else could I do? He was great, and said it was fine to have her since I wasn't aware that it was closed.
Cassie was an ANGEL. She was so excited to come in and actually see what I do. She sat either on the step or behind me on the mat, tried to get her to stay in the corner but she would have none of that. She was not disruptive at all - in fact, some members told me after that she was singing all the songs! After she wanted to help me clean up but I couldn't have her moving around the room with everyone putting away equipment. I even finished, with clean up and everything, exactly at 7:30 on the DOT.
The problem? I knew she was there and it completely distracted me. I blew chorey SO many times it was not even funny. Most didn't realize, but the old timers, they knew. It felt SO crappy to have an off night.
We took a trip to Starbucks after and I got a decaf to drown my sorrows in. Plus, I had been blown off today by a couple of people close to me and that still stung. The stress of mailing out my video, hoping it gets there by tomorrow, I am just thankful it's done, it's almost the weekend.....and I better nail this playlist on Sunday or else. I need a really good night's sleep and I really hope it will happen tonight.
Sigh. I knew there would be classes that were not perfect. I just didn't expect it tonight. Oh well. Life goes on.
