well whadayaknow, the kid passed the audition…
OK, so we just got word that our oldest passed the audition and will be placed in the local youth orchestra. wow, I totally didn’t expect that after he told me that he botched the audition a couple weeks ago. …and, you’d think that I’d be happy now. right. It’s never THAT simple. So, what this means now is more of my time shuttling him back and forth to weekly rehearsals and to private lessons. Plus, I got to find the money to pay for the lessons. ugh. and don’t get me started on how much it’s going to cost me to upgrade his cello. He’s currently got a 3/4 sized cello that he’s been using since the last 3 1/2 years. And apparently I can’t stop him from growing so he’s now at a point where he needs a full size cello. And even trading in his current instrument, we’ll still wind up shelling out $1000 for the bigger size.
ah, nope. this is not what I signed up for…
