If You Don’t Make Time, You Won’t Have Time

                I’ve been looking forward to the February break to really dig in with my practicing, and record some of my new songs.  I woke up this morning and I couldn’t wait to get started, but I wanted to start the day in private devotion with the Lord (best for me when my wife and daughter are asleep).   Then, I  got kind of hungry and decided to eat breakfast.  During breakfast, my wife reminded me that our daughter had a dentist appointment.  She asked if we could go together.  So, I decided to work-out and shower (just enough time for that) before leaving for the dentist. 
                The dentist was near Michael’s, and my wife had a gift card she wanted to use, so we also went there.  While she was shopping, I got a haircut.  By this time, we were getting kind of hungry, so we went out to eat.  Then we stopped at a store to check out the President’s Day furniture sales.  Of course on the way home, we stopped at a park to try out my daughter’s new remote control truck.  Then we went online to shop for a new computer for my wife. 

                Now it’s 7:00 PM, and I’m typing my blog post.  I haven’t recorded or practiced anything today, and I don’t think I’m going to.  I am wiped-out.  Blocking out a set time for practice or recording is difficult when you have a family and chores.  I want to spend time with them, but I also want to spend time with my music.  I wish I could split into two Rays, get both things done and then come back together at the end of the day.  Since that technology has not come out yet, I’ll have to settle for balancing my time, and trying my best to set a little aside for music.  We’ll see if that works tomorrow.
