A Canadian in America...

So......tired.......

I didn't sleep last night. Hardly at all, really. Let's just say something bad happened at work last night, and although it wasn't REALLY my fault, I still was very stressed out about it, and I had a hard time falling asleep. Then, at 5:30am, I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. I was in the shower before 6:00.....I usually wake up at 6:15. So I think I got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night.
Add to that the neck/headache, the residual sickness and sinus ickiness and a 10 hour day of two year olds.....well, I suppose it could have been worse.
I tried really hard to be positive all day long, despite my lovelies and their temper tantrums. I'm trying to be as patient as possible, and to be a good role model to my co-teacher, as she has no experience working with children. I'm trying to be the person that I would like HER to be.....if that makes any sense. I suppose that it's good for somebody to act like the person that they want to be.....
Anyhow, so on a completely unrelated note, Eric and I had an "appointment" to get our taxes done tonight at "7:00". Turns out that it wasn't a REAL appointment, but a pretend one in which we showed up and could either WAIT for a tax preparer to be done with their REAL appointments, or to make a REAL appointment for sometime later. We made an appointment for next Saturday (the 8th....yikes, taxes are due the 15th), and I will probably get to go all by myself. Hooray.
Eric and I are going to Indiana tomorrow during the day to check out Woodwind/Brasswind, a huge music store. Eric has a Saxophone on hold there, so he might get a new horn tomorrow. Yay for Eric.
I will probably be in bassoon heaven though. I'm hoping they have lots of good stuff.

Well, I'm sleepy so I should probably rest......Eric and I spent time and money at Borders (books) tonight and now I have two new books to read (and 2.5 old ones to read). Jill, you'll be glad to know that I bought "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Two for the Dough". Yay for reading...............
