YES! It has been a whole week since I've posted. Worse than that, I don't think I even checked my e-mail all week! Needless to say it has been a crazy one.
First, let me say that I have really enjoyed having a piano to play! I am thrilled with how quickly the basics have some back to me. I have spent some time each day standing in front of my big picture window playing worship songs and singing. I over-did-it on Tuesday and hurt my left elbow and wrist. (I was diagnosed with Tennis Elbow about a year ago. It usually doesn't hurt me, but I also try to limit my time at the computer, and now at the piano, I guess.) So Tuesday night I was in a lot of pain. But it was worth it! I haven't gotten the chance to sit down with my guitar yet. I think I need to get my Dad to sit down with me to remind me of things. I played the piano longer as a child than I did the guitar as a teen. And so, even though the guitar was in more recent history, I don't remember it well.
Second let me say that I really enjoyed having the kids home on Friday! Snow days rock! I am bummed though that we couldn't make our trip to Iowa this weekend. We had planned to make the trip to Iowa as a family for a Friday night/Saturday conference through our church. The kids were really looking forward to staying at the hotel and swimming. Regretfully, the snow storm hit and I didn't want to risk their lives. Silly me. So, to make up for it, I took Mat and Charlie and one of his friends to see Bridge to Terabithia on Friday night. Oh, My... I cried my eyes out! And then on Saturday we went to the YMCA and swam for an hour or so. Then after going out to lunch we watched movies together. It really was a great weekend.
There is more to share, but I have to go get Charlie convinced that he really can sleep at night. :)
