Totally want the world to go away today -- leaving for Nashville tomorrow, and so not ready! At the end of their lesson yesterday, the violin teacher told middle daughter that she has to do a solo the Sunday right after we get back -- but of course daughter isn't getting a lesson next week because we'll be gone and she has no transportation (she's taking the bus to ballet but no good route to violin teacher). Meaning middle daughter is stressing out -- plus teacher asked yesterday, "You are using a metronome, right?" and daughter gave her typical, "Sure?", which basically means, "No, but I'm good if you want to think so." So I decided to add "run kid in for tuner and metronome" to my schedule today. And she just broke a string -- why did I not get a second set of strings while we were there?
She actually took the string breaking in stride -- verified she had that string in her bag (she had three of the four), and also said she could raid her old violin if necessary. She probably figured she'd better keep it cool, since I'd just dropped everything and gotten her the gadget she wanted.
Thanks! We probably will. I always get wound up beforehand, but once we get going I settle down. Problems (car issues, hubby having to do something last minute at work, etc.) before we've really gotten going make me crazy; problems after the first day usually don't bother me at all. I was totally cool when we had to spend nearly two days waiting on car repairs the second day of our second trip to Orlando. Once we get some distance from home, I guess I drop into the "vacation zone" where everything is "whatever." I've got my books and no schedule, so I'm good.
