Numbers: A List

I'm copycatting my friend Sara who made a list of numbers on her blog a few weeks ago.


6 . . . The number of days I stayed inside my house without even setting one toe out of the door last week during our cold snap into the deep freeze.  I seriously lucked out.  I didn't end up having to take anyone to preschool.  Sarah takes herself down to the bus stop corner and I watch out the window.  All my students came to me.  

5.45 . . . The number of hours I have spent singing Hebrew today.  The Arrowhead Chorale is preparing for a Jewish concert in a few weeks.  I did some major practicing at home this afternoon, followed by a three and a half hour rehearsal this evening.  My brain hurts.  

2 . . . The number of books on ballet that we have checked out from the library, which have inspired my trio to produce many crazy dance-stories this week while they were cooped up inside.  It was wild. There was much leaping, twisting, stretching, and a few collisions on the dance floor.

0 . . . The number of milk jugs we currently have on stock in our refrigerator.  It's time to go grocery shopping.  We need our milk fix.

54 . . . The number of egg shakers held by adorable toddler fingers this morning when I led large group music in Sunday School for the 2, 3 and 4 year olds.  I love them.
10 . . . The number of minutes I played gathering music before each of two church services this morning.

At least 20 . . . The number of hours I practiced to prepare the ten minutes of music above.  I don't have the gift of natural music ability.  I have the gift of motivation and ability to practice.  Sigh.  But it's a good thing in the end.

4 . . . The number of times I pushed snooze on my alarm clock this morning.
