Snow Day Rants

Day 2 of month number 2 of our Clemmer Music Adventure; one month down. Today, as the slush from the icy rain sloshes around in the streets, I sit writing this blog. Snow days are great for me because, for that one day, I am not a divided man. Normally, I am caught between being a high school teacher and being part-time help for the music store that I technically own (with Abbey, of course). Today, I can be a music mogul; CEO, repairman, salesman, tradesman, and guitar instructor (single-focused vocationally). I remember being in college my junior year and feeling so spread around. I was a full-time student, manager at Blockbuster, member of a travelling drama group, and a cast member in the Musical. Needless to say, my grades suffered extraordinarily. I remember getting through that Spring feeling that I would never do that again... yet, here I am. But, there is something different. This time it is different. I have matured, for one. And now, more significantly, I have an awesome support in my life (my wonderful wife). Even though I may have been the worst teacher in the world on Thursday, or had one of my infamous "journal days" so I could get other work done, I know Abbey has been there to support and uplift me. College was different, I didn't have the amount of encouragement and support that I do know. Sure, I had some solid friends and my roommates were great... But, Abbey has exceeded all expectations of what a wonderful and supportive wife is. Even though we are both going in 10 million different directions and exhausted by the end of the day she takes care of me. I know I can't count on life to be simple, the way I may have hoped for years back, but I do know that my wife can be wonderfully amazing. I am so amazingly blessed by her day by day. I thank the Lord for what an awesome joy she is to me. One month down and many more to go, alongside the best woman in the world.
