Hello, folks! Well, as you can imagine (for my lack of writing) I've been getting my feet wet big time when it comes to this Jazzercise teaching thing. Boy, even DH turns to me when I wake up at 6 am to practice some more before I teach a class and says: "Who are you and what have you done with my wife?" If you know me, you know I love my sleep. But in direct opposition to that love is the fear I have of standing in front of students and looking like I don't know what I'm doing. It's a fine line. I'm trying not to let it take over my life, but I also want to do a good job.
Overall, though, it's been a great deal of fun. Reports are coming in to the Jazzercise owner that the students are having a good time and looking forward to my next class. That's always a plus. They are such a great group of ladies! And, already a couple of weeks ago I got asked to sub for an instructor going on vacation - YIKES! I said yes then, and just yesterday got the news that the lady teaching on Thursdays had to quit for now because of her other job, so I'll be covering that too, which means teaching 4 times next week and then 3 times a week till mid April when tax season is over and the owner can cut down on her other job hours and teach some more.
Boy, what did I ever do with my time before? Oh yeah, I used to volunteer a bunch with my kids school. Now, I'm reduced to being back up to the librarian helper. It's kind of sad, but it's fine also. The kids' new school has a tremendous amount of parent volunteers so it's not like they miss my help terribly. I still go and participate in parties and volunteer to chaperon field trips. That will have to be enough for now.
Well, I hear Shakira calling (or rather a Jazzercise routine we do to one of her songs :-). Later!
