Girls!

Exasperation was running high this afternoon. Girls can be so...so....exasperating!!!

I'm trying to teach "my girls" aka "my choir" the Latin Mass parts. One of the girls wouldn't sing, the other one wasn't paying attention to my directions, and the last one knew them better than I did! Don't get me wrong, the last one wasn't as exasperating as the first two. It was the contrast that was driving me nuts!

I tried to very patiently explain that in order for the congregation to follow along, the choir had to be solid. But they were convinced that they could "wing it" to a satisfactory degree. But for me, little perfectionist over here, they have to KNOW it. Not wing it.

So, I have to painstakingly maintain their attention again next week.
