After a whirlwind week of non-stop kid things, I finally find the time to re-enter my regular life. Last week was a blur of activity; play practice on Monday and Wednesday, choir and lacrosse practice on Tuesday, play performance on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. And on top of all that a new baby in the family. It's enough to make a princess cry. Thankfully, it's all over. Just in time because I've exhausted my liquor cabinet from daily night caps. Now, the terror resumes again on a much abbreviated schedule. Sports two nights a week. People say they don't know how I do it. I'm not sure either. Once the weekend is over auto-pilot kicks in and drives me through the week. Tonight, however, I'm taking some time off from being "Mom" and doing something grown up. More details to come later.
