Last night, a dad and I spoke. He and his daughter had come to me via the piano teacher in town. His daughter is a strong, intermediate pianist and we had had a trial lesson in June. They wanted lessons with me on the week ends.... And so it happened. First time I ever turned down a student and a very good one at that. I thought I'd be stressed but felt better, surprisingly, hanging up. It's the right thing to do.

Even though the take over of hubby's company has been delayed yet again (and to October), we need to exert effort to preserve limited family time. I will teach until 6:15 on Fridays, but no longer on Saturday or Sundays.
