No more excuses

Everytime I decide to write on this blog, I always end up with an excuse:

 1)N  is being too quiet, I need to go check on her

2) M is screaming bloody murder and needs his bottle now or else he'll die

3)N is smoshing L to death and so I need to rescue her (Her being L, not N)

4)My laptop is broken because someone broke the screen (it was me) and so I have to sit at the desktop which takes too much time and then N will want to watch or play something

5)I have better things to do like watch Glee

6) No one wants to read this anyway because my writing is awful

Those excuses will cycle through and I end up thinking at least three of them at the same time.  However, I have decided that I have no more excuses.  One thing that I have realized is that I am not perfect and will never be.  The most that I can do is try and then keep trying until one day maybe things get easier.

The main reason that I have decided to just START is because my parents are going on a mission and I have been trying to think of a way that we can keep in touch.  Then it hit me, you have a blog genius! I think that my brain cells are slowly dying because of my lack of sleep. I know that when it comes to trying new things, the only thing that stops me is FEAR.  Darn that fear, because it doesn't even need to be there.  The only time we learn new things is when we take a risk. Once that risk is taken, then we realized how strong we are.  I wish we knew that from the beginning.

I am a piano teacher.  I have been playing since I was seven.  My credentials include music classes and my own knowledge and that's it.  One day, one of my neighbors come up to me and asked if I have thought about teaching. I acknowledged that I had thought about it.  She then told me that she was looking for a teacher for her two boys because her parents were going on a mission.  (Her mother was the teacher for her boys.) I said maybe and left it at that.  Of course I had an excuse.  After a few weeks, my husband asked me what I was waiting for and I couldn't answer him.  So I decided to START and I now have five students while entertaining a three year old and four-month old twins.

My motto for this year is:
NO MORE EXCUSES:JUST START!
