Too Much Life

Ever have too much life? That's how it's been these past several weeks. Things are always hectic at work at the end of the school year. There are last minute projects to finish, lessons to teach, paperwork to complete and the students check out for the summer early. On top of that, there's Teacher Appreciation, Mother's Day, Matthew's birthday, Father's Day, a vacation to plan and summer school to get ready for (I teach summer school and my husband stays home with the kids).

And inevitably, one or both kids ends up sick. This year it was a trip to the ER with my son after he had fallen from a slide at school and hit his head pretty hard. Everything ended up just fine, thankfully. And then right after my daughter developed Roseola, which is not too big of a deal really, just a low grade fever for three days and then a rash. But it meant staying home with her when we're already pretty close to being out of sick time for the year.

So, needless to stay, much of my creative time has been spent falling into bed exhausted each night. My knitted tote still needs several repeats. My wrist got sore after some marathon knitting and I had to take a break from it this week. I finished my May ATC and will post photos as soon as my husband gives up the camera. He's using it for a project with his class at school and apparently feels I may accidentally erase the photos from the memory card. Honestly, where's the trust? And I did make some fabric note cards for my mom and a small pineapple wall hanging for my grandma. I'm still working on the gift for my mother-in-law. But her and my father-in-law have been sick with the respiratory flu and we dare not see them until they're no longer contagious. So I'll be able to finish that this week. Plus, my friend from worked hired me to make 24 fabric note cards for her mother and mother-in-law. So life has been busier than usual. It always seems at this time of year there is definitely too much life.

But with those two adorable faces, who can complain!
