Daily Diary

I'm attempting to find time to develop this blog site. It may take a little while before I really have things arranged as I wish. I'm also somewhat computer handicapped.
Today was one of those days where you are surrounded by the perpetual piles of housework (dishes, laundry, etc.) and of course a huge pile of school work, but your interests lie elsewhere. Jonathan got a new violin last week, and along with ordering it, I had also placed an order for some fiddling books. We had a ball flipping through the books. I think we spent nearly three hours over the course of the day just on fiddling! After practicing their other music for an hour and a half, we got out the fiddle books, but only fooled around, or fiddled around, for about 1/2 hour. This afternoon we sighed our way through spelling and I said," Time for recess. Let's go fiddle." The enthusiasm was immense. There went another hour at least. Then more after dinner. Tomorrow I will exert more self control. One thing that is highly annoying- Jonathan is a vastly superior violinist to me, and he makes a point of playing over everyone and blazing ahead with no thought to timing. Sheesh.
