Back to Normal?

Today, the kids went back to school after their February break and a snow day. Even though things “should” feel like they’re back to normal, it all feels strange today. I’m not really sure why, though. Everyone went about their morning as though they hadn’t been out of school longer than a weekend, and they didn’t seem tired . . . which was all very strange. They have a harder time on a “regular” day than they do on days like today. All very strange.

My plans to work on illustrated letters last week was nixed because life kept getting in the way, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, I really wanted to finish them and stick them into the mail. That’s on the agenda for today and tomorrow during my “free” time. (Do moms ever really have free time??) I’m going to work on these letters with my children because they have some thank you notes for gifts and care packages to get into the mail within the next couple of days.

It’s going to be busy around here on the “work” front. My fiancé looked at two potential jobs, one yesterday and one Saturday, so he’s going to be out straight for a while. (Which, of course, is not a bad thing for our finances.) I’ve been building momentum with a couple of gigs where, the more I write the more work they send my way. So, it looks like we’re both doing fairly well in that regard. I was worried work would slow in the winter, as it has during the past several years. Thankfully, it hasn’t.

What do you have on the drawing board for today?
