Going Through The Motions

You ever have stretches of days where it feels like the movie "Groundhog Day" is your life, only there's no camera around? I think we all do. The weekdays feel like that for me lately. I get up, I wake up my daughter and have a little morning conversation to get her brain going (which is a dangerous proposition, because once the power kicks on in there, she's so smart and funny sometimes that I don't want to leave). Depending on if the boys are home - I always see Cole in the morning, Wyatt sometimes goes right to school if he was at his Dad's the night before. Either way, I do as much as I can to help them get ready for school. If I have to assist a class, I'm out the door by 7:45 - if not, I'm taking them out for the bus at 8:35. Once that's done though, the monotony begins.

So, I have a slight deviation to my schedule tomorrow evening...I will tell you about it then becuase I don't want to jinx myself.

So, since this entry is "Going Through The Motions", if you could go back in time and focus more then on what you realize you should have, be it school, or a talent, or anything like that - what would it be? Feel free to comment here on the blog, or comment on Facebook - I share all these entries on Facebook anyway. I wish I would have known when I was younger that I was a decent singer - everyone says I am, so if I had known, maybe a vocal coach back then would have me on Broadway now (and no Jamie, that doesn't take the "Not" out of my nickname...private joke that a few will get). I also would have started refereeing at the earliest I could - maybe I would have been doing major college or junior or even minor pro games by now. I probably wouldn't have ever stopped playing my trumpet either - I saw Chris Botti in Boston on DVD this weekend - and he was phenomenal.

So folks, what is your hidden, or late discovered talent that you would have cultivated? Enquiring minds want to know!
