My speech team did wonderful this year with nine kids qualifying for Sections (plus three first alternates), four in Section finals, and three who went to State. It was all very exciting.
I've been coaching speech for thirteen years, and I've had a lot of wonderful students, but this group is definitely one of my favorites. They are so talented, so hard-working, and so much fun! On our State trip they made me laugh until my sides hurt.
Right now we are rehearsing for the high school spring play, so I don't have to totally say good-bye to them yet. :) We are doing three short plays, one comedy, one drama, and one that has comedy and drama. They're all looking really good and I'm excited for opening night next Friday.
After that my life will be getting a bit more back to normal.
How about all of you? What's been going on in your lives? Keeping busy? Finding time to relax? Finding time to write? (I'm doing my best, plugging away at two very different mss.) Any big plans for the weekend? (Don't forget to call your mom!)
And Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there!
Congrats on your speech team doing well and Happy Mother's Day girl. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHop hope opening night rocks!
ReplyDeleteMy world is pretty much the same. Which is to say, I have enough time, I'm just really bad about how I've been spending it lately. That being said--Oh! Shiny Meme!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I am having the exact same problem with getting back into blogging! It is lovely to catch up with everyone again, though!
ReplyDeleteI never find the time to relax, I'm saving it up for when my kids leave home, then I'll have a year long bath!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I go months thinking, "After this next event, things will get back to normal." Then I realize, this is life. This is normal. There is always something! And that's how it is with kids. :)
ReplyDeleteMay is definitely been better than April, and miles away from March! I'm liking this trend line. Here's hoping normalcy returns to you soon! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day! And I did call my mom earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fantastic Mother's Day! It can be difficult to sneak in some blogging time every once in a while, so don't worry so much about it!
ReplyDeleteI had a great Mother's Day. Hope you enjoyed yours too!
