One of the many reasons why I leave my garden debris. The contrasts and textures make for some interest in the mist of dullness.
The past two weeks has been the spring board for what is to come in the next two weeks of madness. Preparing for this year play has been exciting and exhausting. All good of course!!! Just a lot more hectic than I would want for myself to be. But that's the life of helping with a play and trying to keep eveything else in order that follows. I have lived the words 'Parent Partiscipation' and 'Volunteer' for the last two weeks now. It has its benefits, but I am weary.

Catholic school week was just the beginning. Everday another function and a need for help. Play practices everyday after school then off to one appointment or another for the girls. Ski trip yestserday then play practice, a volunteer parent meeting for the play then the home and school association meeting. I got home at 9:30 last night. Most of my days have been 12 hours of go go go.
I look forward to any down time I can get. This morning is the first in days. a few photos and a little jewelry making and I should be good to go, or at least in time to take my girl to the doctor. Girl number two this week. Nothing major. Just little things that could grow into big stuff if I don't keep up on it. I like to be preventative.
If the conditions are good this weekend ( I doubt it) we were hoping to go cross country skiing. something we've been wanting to learn how to do. We might end up with innertubing instead. Sounds good!
