Time Outs and Tenutos


so...m just has to get under control. she's strong willed and demanding (this picture says it all, yes?) it's her way or the interstate. i've tried time out with her...but she wiggles, squirms, kicks, screams, etc. i need to try again in earnest. so...today's the day!
had bells last nite. that seems to be going well....there were a few tense moments. mostly b/c people don't listen to what is said or they just like to hear themselves talk. frankly, i thing that gm's cues are very clear and to make them any more self explanatory or clear would be the equivalent of him just standing in front of the group clapping the steady beat. goodbye conducting artistry! perhaps we should just eliminate all fermatas, tenutos, transitions, and whole notes? i digress...
b has school today. i hope to get a couple of bins of clothes down from the attic for m. i've been blessed with friends who give me their kids' clothes! it's been very nice...i've only had to buy b and m a few things here and there. it's another way that God has provided for us now that we're on one income.
making fajitas tonight. which, btw, i only spend $69 on groceries for the whole week! i only saved $14 (a far cry from the $30+ weeks) but i had to buy so little b/c my freezer and pantry are so well stocked. it feels great!
so, dear readers...a summary:
1. time out training (for me and m)
2. shut up and let him conduct!
3. ole.
