Finally!

After 16 months of tennis lessons, I am finally getting the hang of this game.

Today was part 2 of the epic Backhand v Ball Machine battle. I didn't win, but I managed to get better than I was at the beginning of the hour, so that's a good thing.

Actually, the true test of my progress came on the long weekend while I was on court with the boys. I think I am finally at the stage where I can hit with a fair bit of confidence and not get too frustrated by my inability to keep the ball in play. I hit with each of the boys on the public courts in our neighbourhood, and I daresay it was a decent workout and it was fun. I think we'll be walking over to those courts after dinner on a regular basis this summer. :)

Where does this leave all my other pastimes and/or commitments? Hmmmmm...

* I'll continue to go running once or twice a week at lunchtime at work.

* I'm not sure when I'll ever find time to clean off my desk, but I'd like to scrapbook again. Soon. 

* I am still teaching aerobics twice a week for now, but I may drop down to one class/week this summer. We'll see.

* I'm going to be sooooo happy when the school year is over and I can take a break from school council duties.

* My tennis mom duties will ease up this summer when the boys are in day camps and Mike is off work and able to do all the drop-offs and pick-ups. Yay!

* We are still seriously looking at getting a dog this summer. That is one of the BIG things on my To Do list.

So much to do. So little time to hit tennis balls. :)
