Jenna and her friend sang their little hearts out, Cole did well with his flute number, and my solo wasn&#8217;t bad, either.  The kids all sang well, stood relatively still, did their parts with style, and it only went over 10 minutes.  And to thank me for a job well done, I&#8217;ve been released.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very sad about leaving Primary.  Really, the junior Primary chorister is the most fun job ever, and I was just looking forward to doing all the fun and relaxing &#8220;post program&#8221; stuff.  But I guess it was time to share the fun and let someone else do that job (even though secretly I feel they won&#8217;t do as good of a job as me).  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been called to be an instructor in Relief Society.  Which is a fine calling.  Really.  It could be much worse.  *sigh*  I&#8217;m really trying to have a good attitude about the whole change, but since this is MY blog, I&#8217;m allowed to put down my true feelings, so deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>Apparantly, they&#8217;ve been &#8220;clammoring for me&#8221; in Relief Society for a long time (and why wouldn&#8217;t they?  I&#8217;m awesome!).  Maybe I&#8217;ll just get up and teach them a song using puppets and my stop sign and visuals from Primary and see how much they want me then!  <\/p>\n<p>Ok.  Enough about that.  I&#8217;ll get over it and move on.<\/p>\n<p>In an unrelated train of thought, I turned on the radio this morning to&#8230;.Jingle Bell Rock.  What the&#8230;?  Today is Halloween, people, not Thanksgiving.  I&#8217;m all for rushing the season and playing a tiny bit of Christmas music early, but on HALLOWEEN?  NO.

Well, right after this song, because it&#8217;s one of my favorites.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the Primary Program went really well.
