Stuff coming up:
Friday: Casper's dance recital. We are to have her at the theater for the dress rehearsal tonight at 5, in costume and makeup (pink lipstick and blush), hair "half-back and curly." Well, it will be half-back, anyway. She is doing a tap routine to Elvis.
Next week: Casper's school musical; Girl Scout overnight camp in co-leader's back yard; Mother's Day.
Then: May 17 is last day of school; taking 18 and 19 off; possibly family camping trip.
June 1: mr. flea has a job interview in Dublin, Ireland. He wants me to come too (on our nickel) and make a nice trip out of it. My mother has vaguely offered to come down and watch the kids (who are signed up for camp that week - June 1 is a Wednesday). I am resistant because of the price of a plane ticket (currently well over $1000) and general stress and hassle factor. Dunno.
(June 10: minor one-day conference in Atlanta that nobody has talked about yet. Must ask colleagues.)
June 24-26: American Library Association annual meeting in New Orleans. I have been invited to present my bibliography project to a group of classics, medieval, and renaissance studies librarians. We have no travel funding in the library; the classics department has offered me $300. Registration for the conference is $215 (plus $60 membership), and I need to think about transportation and lodging and food. I haven't pulled the trigger on actually going yet, but I am probably going to. Again feeling overwhelmed by hassle and expense.
I don't know why I'm feeling so overwhelmed by all this. Maybe partly because it's the last week of the semester so all the students are basically insane.
