Good News!

We've almost survived this week of hating Daylight Savings Time!

After the kids were at school, I worked on the house and practiced the clarinet for an hour or so. I didn't get near the practice time I wanted to have this week, though. I will have to make more time from now on.

I went to the school for the kids' Grandparents Lunch. All our grandparents live far away, and we never know about these things until it's the week of, and so I stood in for the grandparents today. I sat by Roz while she ate her lunch and went out with her to recess. Carter saw me and wanted me to stay and I wished I could have. I really miss my free time.

The very good news: at work today, Boss Lady said she liked all six pans of my fudge! This is huge! She was very happy with everything I did in her absence yesterday. I was happy to hear it. We worked on chocolate peanut butter swirl together, since anything with peanut butter is a giant pain, and we cleaned the kettle and I made chewy praline and started a Caramellow and waited on customers while she did her administrative stuff. We had a busy day.

After work I picked up Hubby, who was a block away paying a bill, and we picked up Bella and dropped her at home. Then we went to get his new driver's license, then to Walmart for groceries, then home again. Later, Hubby took the car to soccer practoce while Bella and I caught the bus down to her school for her concert and my rehearsal. Her concert went well.

Orchestra was interesting tonight. It hit me when I took Bella to the school for her concert, walked into the band room with her, and noticed that all the chairs and music stands we use for rehearsals had been moved to the Commons for the concert, that perhaps some school building schedulers forgot about us and didn't tell us our equipment would be unavailable. Since I was there early, I was able to speak to the band teacher and he found a box of the smaller foldable music stands for us. As orchestra members came in, and our conductor, we decided to hold rehearsal in another room and took the little stands with us. It was odd but it worked. We had a fun rehearsal, and I sounded great. Yay!

Hubby came later to get us and we dropped by the store to buy a ruler for Carter's homework, then home to bed.
