And in the more important poll, we find that most of our friends sometimes feel like a nut and sometimes not. That was not too surprising. There were a couple commenters who would have liked more choices. Oh, well. Personally, I feel like a nut most of the time but have trouble choosing how to vote when the nut variety comes in milk chocolate. I want the nut AND the dark chocolate.

And now for the new poll. Apologies in advance to those who want more choices (but I was too lazy to register at a new site so I could have that option) and also to those who prefer all polls to be in pink. I thought white with black was appropriate to this poll, and will look like keys on the piano if enough people vote to generate the bar graph. HOWEVER, let it be known that for some time now I have wanted to repaint our piano with bright pink enamel, like the one in Where's Spot?, but Devastatingly Handsome is opposed to this plan and somehow I think he would notice such a change. If our piano were pink, I would have gone with a pink poll. Definitely.
Time for a rest from the piano perhaps for the holidays? Time to enjoy the sun! Maybe get the obsession back in the winter, though Anika was complaining yesterday that she couldn't practice the piano because her fingers were too numb.
Pink is a PERFECTLY good color for a piano! Who said brown or black were good colors anyways!? They are terribly boring. Perhaps a pink piano would increase the energy in Mr.Music's brain, making him play better and practice harder!
*whacks back with one of those superhard pillows, the ones NASA engineered*
i voted for option #4. it is exactly how *i* would be, but i never claimed to be non-obsessive.
as for the commenter who hinted that summer was a time to let the kids take a break from piano.... the proper response to that is LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
ps- i was still having to sit thru practice with spaz when he was 10, even after 3 yrs of lessons. (my older 2 required this for only about 6 weeks.) otherwise he had this tendency to play everything *except* what he was supposed to. even with me sitting by him, he'd still break right in the middle of a song & launch into a completely different one. but i don't sit with him anymore, hooray! (good thing or i'm sure i would be in the loony bin by now.)
I can't answer the poll, because my answer is too varied. LOL The only thing I can say is that, yes, moms can become too obsessive about piano practice. I'm not sure any of those were. hehehehehe
