All week I've been with Bella from 9-5 at the Suzuki String Institute. It's actually an amazing experience I'm so glad we decided to do this year. She has six class with fabulous very patient instructors who have devoted their life to music. She is even getting a private lesson from Michael McLean. A very cool experience for her, one that is making a huge difference with her playing & confidence.
Anyway, she's basically doing all the work, I'm sitting all day...reading, watching, etc., but by the time I get home I'm completely exhausted. Exhausted! Perhaps my messy house we haven't even been in, hungry kids waiting to be fed, and laundry that needs to be done looking back at me doesn't help. Really I don't know how to do it all with this schedule without feeling like I've worked all day. It's maddening.
So I'm blogging now, but I really shouldn't be. I should be packing for my weekend with Lori, Jill, Robyn, and Kathy, or folding laundry, or even better, sleeping so I can get through tomorrow. I guess I just couldn't resist an update. I recently got home from bookclub and going to the store to get stuff for this weekend. It's an interesting experience going to the grocery store at 12am. Have you ever done it? I don't like it. It's creepy being one of the only people wandering around a big half lite store.
Ok so I feel like I'm going to start rambling soon if I haven't started already. I guess It's time for bed. Before I go I thought I'd leave you with a photo I took last week that I feel in love with. We were all in my studio doing who knows what, can't remember, and I saw this beautiful light streaming in through my window...had to get it.
Have a great weekend.

I don't know how working moms do it either, taking care of the kids and the house is a full-time job by itself so the thought of working somewhere else all day and then coming home to the big to-do list would be so daunting.
I'm glad Bella is doing so well and that you're happy with this week, our Park City getaway will be a nice reward for you.
We decided not to do Suzuki camp because it was so expensive -- I can't believe you have to stay there the whole time! Yowza.
I have to agree, I have no idea how working moms manage to do everything that needs to be done around the house and with the kids. So glad I don't have to find out.
I hope you have a great girls' weekend!
beautiful photo...have a great girl's weekend. it sounds fabulous!
Hey, give yourself the credit - you DO work full time all the time, its just that you usually are a full time mom working in the home. That's how I look at it. For me, working outside the home was hard at 1st, overwhelming really. Now I feel like I have a system down since I've been doing it a couple of years. But I wouldn't trade those 3 years I had at home with my kids for anything!
How fun to have a girls' weekend approaching!!
Have a great weekend with your sisters amd mother in law!
You are a fab mom for staying at Violin Boot Camp :) the whole time. It is great to have parents so invovled in what their kids are passionate about. I bet she felt like the most important kid on the planet!
We're not doing a Suzuki camp this year, but I would love to do that with Avery sometime. Maybe we'll have to come to Utah and do it, so we can hang with you and Bella. :)
Enjoy your weekend away! Sounds fabulous!
Amy!

I can't imagine working full time and coming home to all that has to be done. Glad you only had a taste of it- and good mom points to you for sitting through it all!
