Blah Blah schedule Blah!!!!

I teach private skating lessons 2 days a week. However in the summer it becomes more days a week and really more of a pain in the ass than anything. Because my clients children have to be good at everything and go to the best summer camps, ride the best horses, speak more languages than God, and carry this all out while becoming Olympic quality skaters, I become a disposable, on call waitress who is skating around at Sonic asking if they want more fry sauce. OR at least that is how I presume they feel about me by the way they expect me to snap my fingers and accomodate 15 people and their schedule that most adults can't even commit to. Here's the truth and I am just gonna say it...how about you just allow your kids to be good at a couple things instead of everything. How about instead of going to Peru, the Bahammas, on a cruise or whatever...you go to the park and run around with them, turn your cell phone off, not worry about how you look, say screw it and get a bucket of KFC even if the neighbors may see you eating more than your daily intake of calories in one meal. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH I am bored, bored by the need to be good at everything, and look perfect at the same time. Here's a perfect example of what peole do to do be good at something and be happy at the same time. As A child I chose to be good at skating. I chose to not be on sports teams and never be able to go out and party, wasn't popular because I didn't hang out with the jocks or the drama geeks. And I chose not to be a good skiier...made a concious decision, why? Because I recognized quite early that in order to be good at something it took work, and well, I wasn't that passionate about it to work that hard. SO I hung out with the kids on the easy slopes talked to myself in a british accent, explored, and spent so much time having a good time by myself that I didn't miss the nerosis of being good at it. It just wasn't my thing. I decided I would be mediocre and ski by myself so that something in my life could be FUN that's right folks, I am completely selfish because I put my enjoyment before the ego of everyone around who could revel in my success. You see, no one cares if you are an over weight skater who looks aweful in those stupid tights. They want you to fulfill an image and be more than good at everything. Balet, soccer, horse back riding, basketball, student government, the school play, skating, voice lessons, and lets just throw a little piano in there. Hey...can you be good at all of it? Most successful people attribute their success to determination, not being well rounded...so what is the point to my blog, I am not quite sure. But I think my neighbor has figured everything out. She just makes sure that no one see's how much she drinks or smokes, hides all her husbands porn, talks badly about people when they are not there to defend themselves, is overly opinionated about everything accept to your face. Makes sure she only tells the hoodies like me that she was an ex-stripper. And well, she is miserable, and everyone thinks she's happy, because she seems to have her fingers in every single soufle she can, and looks perfect...if only people lived in glass houses...
