6 years 5 months 6 days

Day 2350. On Friday I'd had two students out of four cancel but one of them wanted to his lesson on Saturday morning, plus another student approached me for a lesson, so I had no choice but to get up "early" on Saturday instead of sleeping in as we didn't have anywhere to go for a change. However, the kids were up even EARLIER than during the week, the boys at 6 am, and Tammy also soon got up. And they kept waking me up when I wanted to at least sleep until 9:30. That's when my alarm went off, and I slowly forced myself out of bed. My bedtime has been closer to 2 am recently, and I've had to get up in the morning for several days in a row. 

I asked Randy to peel and cut potatoes and put the frozen cremed spinach into a pot, then started teaching at 10 am. I taught until 11 am, then turned the spinach and potatoes on on the stove and got ready for my 11:15 am student. I then until 12:10 pm, then went to the kitchen to finish getting our food ready. Then we sat down to eat.

After lunch I helped the kids doing papers for school that they got for their one-week holiday while trying to get some work on the computer done. The kids also gave me clothes to pack for our trip that we're going on tomorrow. The suitcases were already out and ready to be filled. I then piano practice with Emmy but Tammy didn't want to do it. She and Sammy were playing downstairs. Randy had left to pick up a package and buy a few more groceries for our trip. As time went on, the kids were getting hungry so I made their sandwiches and cut up fruit for them and gave them to them. Then I sat down at the computer to get ready to teach at 6 pm. I taught until 7 pm, then went downstairs with Tammy for piano practice. Back upstairs it was bathtub time. For the second day in a row we hadn't done their reading practice but then they have two weeks instead of one to do it.

After the bathtub, it was story and prayer time. Then I sat down to teach at 8 pm, while they went to bed. I finished at 9 pm, then got myself something to eat and sat down to relax for a while. Once my energy started returning and I knew that Randy would soon go to be (usually around 11 pm), I started packing my own stuff, having already packed what the kids need. I didn't get it done but have plenty of time in the morning to do so.
