Pause in Project 365

I got way busy with life so I didn't even pick up my camera between the 5th and the 10th of Sept! So unlike me! I did take some really cute pics of Travis, Becca and I on the 11th, so I'll share a few of those.

I was trying to capture an image of myself in the mirror and Travis kept getting in the shot at the last minute. It was pretty funny, even though he looks like a sad little toddler hanging onto mom in this shot.

Becca wrote a sweet message for me on the mirror while I was in the shower.

This would probably be my choice for my photo of the day for 9/11. But as I said, I'm in a "pause" right now because my life is just insane right now. I also did not pick up my camera 9/12 to today. I'm hoping that by the end of the month we'll be into a new norm and I'll settle into a schedule that isn't so up in the air crazy.

Becca starts dance tomorrow and she'll be taking 2 ballet classes, jazz, tap, a jumps/turns class, 2 hip hop team classes, and is still considering whether or not she wants to join musical theater. So, she'll be taking classes 3 days a week and I'm working at the studio 3 days a week in lieu of tuition for her, which will save me over $100 a month in class fees. She talked to Erin about being a helper in the little kid ballet class, so that will be fun for her as well.

Jarrod takes Aikido lessons year-round, so at least we don't have to transition back into that. He takes 3 classes a week and would like to take a 4th but it won't fit into his school schedule this year.

I'm not sure yet if Travis will continue with guitar because his teacher was hired by a private school this fall. It's a real bummer because Travis advanced so well with Gary; he's an awesome teacher!

As far as school goes, Jarrod's taking classes 4 days a week, as is Travis, and Becca is taking classes 3 days a week. They also have a lot to do at home, which I hope I can stay on top of for Trav and Bec. Jarrod is so responsible, I don't think I'll have much to worry about with him.

All of this affects how much I can give to Mom and Crafts Cottage. I sometimes wish I could clone myself, but alas, I just need to do what I can, when I can and let the rest go. I just hope I can keep up with everything I'm committed to. I feel like I'm treading water with my chin just barely above. I do believe it will get better when we find a schedule that works for all of us.
