All's well that ends - with a good laugh

This was one of those days when I had to be on top of my game all the time. First thing this morning I had a rehearsal with Mass Chorus, which is the entire student body. A while later I had the entire Middle School Chorus, followed by a practice and info session with the 33 Middle Schoolers who will be going to the Jr. High Choral Festival on Friday, followed by a class in which a situation exploded between two students and needed to be dealt with. I was in tears over that situation for most of my lunch period, then had to "put my happy face on" and direct a rehearsal with grades 3 -5, the ones who will be doing the musical in our Spring Program on May 16th.

Someone is coming to shadow me tomorrow, of all times of the year, so I took longer than normal doing prep for tomorrow, and I ended up being the last one to leave the school. When I went to the staff rest room before I left I found the following humorous note. It was JUST what I needed. I laughed and laughed and laughed. Maybe you've seen it before, but please laugh with me again!
