We&#8217;ve got two piano lessons, a soccer game, volleyball practice in another city, marching band practice and a marching band fundraiser concert with Jon Schmidt.  Oh, and Parent Teacher conference at the Junior High.  With two kids at that school, that makes around 16 teachers.  Then there&#8217;s the usual stuff like make dinner.  (Not to mention my Book Club that I can&#8217;t go to-Boo Hoo!).  I signed up to help with the concert tonight, and I&#8217;m supposed to sell concessions.  Ok.  But nobody&#8217;s really told me what time to be there, or what I need to do&#8211;the story of my life.  Thankfully, we have a friend in volleyball, so we don&#8217;t have to drive both ways, but someone&#8217;s going to have to pick those kids up in Pleasant Grove at 7:00.  I guess that would be Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY, my point is that I&#8217;m extremely busy today and don&#8217;t have time for a lot of distractions.  Got to keep on schedule, you know.  I just came home from a PTA meeting at the elementary school, and there was a message on my machine from the sweet piano teacher that went something like this:  &#8220;Paige, I&#8217;m going to have to cancel piano lessons today because my son broke his finger, and the only time we can get into the doctor is 3:00.  So, we&#8217;ll cancel your lessons at 3:00 and 4:00.  Call me and we&#8217;ll figure out when we can reschedule.&#8221;  Oh, thank goodness!  Reschedule?  No, thanks.  My girls will be happy that they don&#8217;t have to go to piano, and I&#8217;m just happy that I have an hour that&#8217;s just opened up.  I&#8217;m sad that her son broke his finger, and I never would wish that on him, but sometimes other people&#8217;s tragedies are another person&#8217;s blessings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is a TOTALLY crazy busy day.
