Fire your non practicing students. Jacob and Lauryn don't like practicing viola very much, but they don't have a choice..one day they will thank me. I wish my mom made me learn something...anything, but she had craziness in her marriage so I guess she did a good job just raising us.<BR/>I have no desire to be in a precidency at this time...I am scout committee chair and that is great and wonderful and easy! All I can say is that the Lord knows what he is doing and I am sometimes surprised at callings. Diego is primary chorister...ha ha..he loves it.Batistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389937397342294597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96502758004387765.post-54291617375061078342009-03-31T22:27:00.000-07:002009-03-31T22:27:00.000-07:00I think that there are 10 families that run any gi...I think that there are 10 families that run any given ward. If you aren't in the initial 10-- then you're screwed with the lame-O callings. Look at our ward-- the main 10 families all just swap callings around. <BR/><BR/>I hope you don't want to fire my slacker kids. I promise we will be better. If I can remember. I have mother-induced-Alzheimers. <BR/><BR/>I do afternoon because Thing3 doesn't eat either. She is not a morning person. 1st grade is going to suck, I fear!Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255980370281345632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96502758004387765.post-53377528164645486052009-03-31T20:41:00.000-07:002009-03-31T20:41:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about the "presidency hoppers...I know what you mean about the "presidency hoppers". We have them in every ward. I am in a presidency right now, but haven't always been. I agree, so many people are under-utilized. And anyway, aren't callings for growth, and not just for the people who you know would be really good in the presidency?Melissa Waltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900661957140116144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96502758004387765.post-84741824268929264432009-03-31T11:41:00.000-07:002009-03-31T11:41:00.000-07:00#1: I agree with that philosophy.

The punishment should be harsher if it's a repeat occurence.<BR/><BR/>#2: I'm sure I have "motherhood alzheimers." Welcome to the club.<BR/><BR/>#3: I have never been in a presidency of anything. Actually, I haven't really done much of anything in the church...except choir director. It seems I will have to die...or stop going to church to get out of getting called to that time after time...<BR/><BR/>#4: AMEN! I know who you are talking about too, because when I taught them, I felt the same way. Or maybe you have others...I don't know. But, yes, I used to lecture my students about wasting my time. I even told a few that if they didn't bother to practice, then don't bother coming to lessons. And I meant it.<BR/>It's really easy to tell the ones whose mother is just sending them away for 1/2 hour/week, and the ones who really want to learn.<BR/>Good luck. <BR/>p.s. you are welcome to look through my music anytime. I have a lot of simplified fun stuff.<BR/><BR/>#5: I signed up both TJ & Peter for afternoon Kindergarten/preschool next year. I'm not sure if this was the right move. All of their extracurricular activities are currently in the afternoon. We've always done mornings. Always. I don't know if they'll let me switch it now, though.<BR/><BR/>It just occured to me at this very moment that I forgot Kindergarten round-up for TJ.<BR/>Crap.Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03380959865544480160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96502758004387765.post-37522724296349475372009-03-31T07:25:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:25:00.000-07:00I worry about the same thing with Katelyn as Jenna...I worry about the same thing with Katelyn as Jenna. She is just not a breakfast eater either. I'm not either actually, it's not my favorite. But in the morning she wants chocolate milk and then nothing until 10 or 11. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the piano students. That's hard. I don't think I was a very good piano student for the year or so I took.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987859197750177297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96502758004387765.post-58125405350998457842009-03-30T16:18:00.000-07:002009-03-30T16:18:00.000-07:00Long posts mean long comments, right?I agreed with...Long posts mean long comments, right?<BR/><BR/>I agreed with Cindy's idea of how to punnish. I should do that with my kids more often. (let it go more if its a first time). <BR/>#2- hysterical. I was laughing the whole time<BR/>#3-I don't mind that people are underutlized because I am one of them. I was in the Primary pres for 3 months, and that was long enough. I feel bad for those who want to do more, but aren't asked. For them I would say to find a way to serve because they are always looking for help.<BR/>#4-FIRE THEM! Why put up with it? Maybe you just aren't a good fit with the students (no offense!) Your piano teacher was great for you, I hated her. H-A-T-E-D H-E-R. I hope she doesn't read this, but she was mean, she gave me boring stuff because she always saw me as the little one in the fam, I think we had a major personality difference. Great teacher, not for me. You might be doing the kids a favor! Just write them a note so they don't see you cry!Lhonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671989118766049350noreply@blogger.com
