*Sigh*

My Piano students just left, it went really well today!  I think having them practice a little longer really payed off.  They are finally starting to 'get' the 'Alphabet-keyboard-written notes' correlation.  I had an old magnet board from Music for Young Children (MYC) which had a big grand staff on one side and a keyboard (I think about one and a half octaves) on the other side.  I put fun little stickers on the little black magnets (They named them; there's Champ, and Flappy, and Bouncy, and Pointer, etc. lol, I love it when kids come up with stuff like that! ) and then come up with words that we can make on the keyboard side with the magnets (bed, egde, feed, etc.) and then we play it on the piano.  Then I have them make the word on the treble clef and play it, and on the bass clef and play it.  I sent them home with the board and they are going to figure out how to write on it and play EDGE. :-)  Much fun.

But I feel squishy.  I still basically have two hours of practicing to do.  An hour of piano, and an hour of flute.  Well, I did 6 mins of piano before my students came, but that barely counts.  Blechy. *Sigh*  I did finish the outline for my John Wycliffe Essay though!  Yesss!

I hope something happens with this whole downsizing thing.  It's getting tiresome looking at the same houses online over and over and over again.  Nothing new ever seems to come up.  I guess it does though.  Anyway, I'm trying not to think much about it.  I just pray about it and wait.

Enough said for now.  I've gotten to the point where I don't care if no one ever reads this.  It's just a place to think.  Thankyou blogness!!

Hi! Thank you for checking out my blog!!! I like yours too! That is cool that you have two guinea pigs, but it is okay if you have to give them up. We had to give up my rabbit Mona too. We just couldn't keep her. God has a plan for everything though! I just finished a really good book today! Have you read any good books lately? It was nice talking to you, Bye!!!!
