Where Did Last Week Go?

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Apr 27, 2009

Last week, I really wanted to get back in touch with my creative self. Instead, I found myself managing some pretty strange schedules. Some of the kids were here, some were there, and some were at the other place . . . we didn’t all finally unite as a family at the same time until last night right before supper time. It was so out of the norm that it threw me off for the entire week!

I managed to keep up with my pressing deadlines for work, but everything else seemed to fall out of place. I also worked on lesson plans, got caught up on grading, and created the tests that are being given to my nephew today. So, all was not lost – I was productive! However, the time for art failed to present itself to me once again!

I have figured out a solution to this problem, though. Rather than waiting for artistic moments to present themselves in the midst of this hectic life of mine, I’m going to MAKE them happen. Why not, right? I grab the bull by its horns when it comes to my career, my household, and educational matters . . why can’t I approach this facet of my life in the same manner? I CAN and I WILL.

In other news, the piano is HERE! You have no idea how excited I am about this! It’s my fiancé’s grandmother’s, like I mentioned before, and it’s the same piano he and his sister learned on when they were younger. It just needs to be tuned, and it’s ready to go! I’m hoping to find a piano teacher that offers bulk discounts for lessons considering there’s so many of us that will be under their instruction! I can’t wait!
