Music time and Espanol

I admit I haven't been keeping up with my music, but, ummm...yesterday I think I got myself into some trouble! :P Josh starts school on Monday, and I was asking them about their music program--it's just a part time-part time teacher that does a little singing. NO ONE offers ANY instrumental instruction here at all! And it's a PreK-12 school! So, silly me, I mentioned that I've been a music teacher for forever and even studied it and they were excited. Many parents want their kids to study instruments--especially piano--and they even said they used to have a band and have some instruments here! So, we'll see if something pans out. I don't really want to go to work, since #1 I still have the other two little kids here, and #2 I'll be gone from here for 3 months starting in December and going through to February. So, yah. But it would be fun to do something with music again. AND, I was in this parent teacher conference yesterday, and talking with the principal and noticed that they had a poster up that was in Spanish. That's a weird thing, as no one here speaks Spanish. It's a French speaking country. So, I asked her why, and she mentioned that they were hoping to have a Spanish teacher, but the person backed out, so, again, before I thought about it..."I speak Spanish!" And her eyes got really big and she says, "Would you be willing..." Well, we'll see. Who knows, right? I would really enjoy all of that, but I DO NOT want it to take away from what I have going right now! I'm still training my housekeeper and nanny to do lots of things, I'm starting Claire in homeschool preschool--which, of course, doesn't take millions of hours every day, but it does take some time and preparation! as would teaching music and Spanish. Either way, I think I may start up a piano/clarinet studio now. Seems like it might be the opportune moment. I've just never gotten around to it, but I should.
