it's only the beginning...

I’ve been extremely busy at work this week.  And it’s only going to get worse.  That’s because the holidays are near and after next week, I will be on vacation until January 3.  My boss has been nervous because clients want things done before the New Year and so he wants to make sure that I get certain things completed before I leave on vacation.  Oh, I know it!  It’s gonna get crazy!

I just found out my son had band rehearsal today---a little too late now!  Apparently he is going to have his recital tomorrow.  How come I’m barely finding this out?  He’s already missed a few days of practice because he kept forgetting to take his instrument and then he went on a trip for a week and missed a couple more days.  So I don’t know if he should even go to his recital.  

Last year, he really wanted to play the saxophone.  We decided to get him in band.  But recently, he hasn’t been wanting to practice or anything.  Seems like he lost interest in it.  I’ve asked him several times and constantly have to yell at him over it but he just doesn’t want to do it.  I’m wondering why I even keep him in band.  It does cost money, which I could probably be using for other things.

A couple of years ago he was taking piano lessons and he was doing well.  But during that time, we didn’t own a piano.  And since he wanted to play the sax instead, I didn’t get him into piano lessons.  And, of course, now that we have a piano at home, he loves to practice playing it.  I don’t know if I should continue with his sax lessons or not.  Maybe I should just get him into piano lessons instead.  Unfortunately, he will not be able to keep his saxophone unless we pay for it.  Ugh!  What to do???

It’s been very cold and I mean cold!!!!  I can’t stand this weather anymore.  And this is only the beginning…!  I’m not even that old and I’m already feeling it!  My hands, especially, have been feeling it.  I don’t know but they almost feel foreign to me.  They feel heavy and my knuckles and joints have been hurting.  Please Lord, don’t let it be arthritis…that’s one of my biggest fears!

My husband wants me to turn up the heat, but it’s already at 70 degrees and the house still feels cold.  I’m just waiting for my gas bill.  I know it’s going to be a lot of $$$!!!!!

Well, gotta go now.  I’m going to drink some tea to keep warm.
