Karate

[pegkerr]

I stopped at the dojo to tell our sensei that the girls would have to stop karate and why. "Let me work something out," he said. "They've worked so hard, and we really want you to continue."

He called me a half hour later with a proposal: if we clean the dojo ten times a month (two or three times a week, which is manageable if Rob and I split that duty between the two of us) and if I take belt test pictures for an additional dojo in the franchise, as well as my own (two Saturday mornings a month) they will entirely waive tuition for the girls.

Hurrah! That eases budgetary woes but the girls can still continue.

I told him that if Rob lands a job in the salary range we're hoping for, then I very likely will come back and start taking lessons again, too.

Yes. I certainly didn't mean to imply in my original comment that he shouldn't have to do his fair share. But since all the current dojo cleaning ends up on Peg's shoulders, it would be kind of sucky to commit to more of it and have the same thing happen!!
