Okay… I’m ready for school to start… Then my summer of daddy-daycare will be done and the twins will be off to second grade and I can get my school rolling again too – 15 credits I’d just rather get over with than wait another month to start!
Pool party for the twins’ 8th birthday on Saturday… WHOA… I’ve got a lot more respect for lifeguards now. Some kids just don’t swim that well!?!? I think you need more than the tip of your nose and lips above the water to consider it swimming… get a life vest, use a floaty, anything…needless to say I think I sprouted a few more grey hairs.
Guitar practice proved a nice reprieve from it all. Trying to keep myself from getting ahead of myself is my latest challenge…. I’m old enough to know that technical work is the base of great instrument performance, but yet an immature side of my brain just wants to screw the scales and technique and go right to “fun”. Plus, just like piano I want to ignore the fingering suggestions and do whatever I want. I know that only creates bad habits which are hard to break later… than why can’t I heed my own advice? By the way… I loathe my ring fingers… they surely aren’t very coordinated! I all but have my tongue hanging out of my mouth in complete concentration just trying to hit the right fret or use that damn “a” on the right hand… my admiration for accomplished players grows each day!
Alright, I hear a hungry 3 mth. old in need of a bottle! Off to daddy duties…….
