VENTING

I need to vent! Randy is gone for a couple of days, so I need to vent to my blog readers instead. Today was the second try-out for music camp at our church. We had 12 people try out for 8 parts, so of course a few people aren't going to get the parts they wanted. I HATE making this kind of decision and even more hate calling the parents to let them know. Well already I made one parent really upset. Now, understand this family is totally into sports and they push their children who are 6 and 8 to play softball, soccer and basketball like crazy. In fact they were late for the try-outs because their hitting lesson got changed! They have not been in church all summer in fact I'm not sure the last time they were there before this morning. Now that their child didn't get the part she wanted, she did get a part and a solo, she's just upset so she starts making phone calls! This just makes me SO mad! This is honestly the one part of my job that I really don't like, BUT I'm going to be fine with it and if this parent is mad enough to take their child out of music camp because of this then it's their loss right?! Ok...I've vented and now I feel better. Randy will be glad I got it out here and won't have to hear it all when he calls later tonight!
Have a GREAT day!
