I’m raising an artist!!! Sweet Lulu brought home a note a few weeks back that informed us a piece of her art was selected to be in a special art show. It has been on display in our school district’s main boardroom for a few weeks, but we hadn’t made it over yet due to my (old) crappy work schedule. So earlier this week I picked Lu up from school and we headed over to check it out. I’m not sure what I was expecting, I mean, she’s only 6 years old, but I was really stunned when I saw her piece. She did such an incredible job and was so proud of herself. I can’t wait to get this piece home and find a perfect spot to hang it!

Ever since I posted last week about quitting my full time job, I have received a huge (and mostly wonderful) response. Everyone is being lovely and sweet about my big change, from the other moms at Lucy’s school, to my family and friends, and even my ex-employers. I’m not really sure what I was expecting, but the positivity directed toward me has been awesome. Yay for all of you!
We are still figuring out this new schedule and new life, so I appreciate your patience while we sort it all. Yesterday we went to the park, had a big breakfast, ran errands, I worked while Tate napped, we went to the gym and then I worked some more after everyone was in bed. I made dinner before 6:30 at night, never felt rushed and didn’t feel so physically worn out. Best of all, even though I woke up with my usual Monday panic (I had a standing 8:30 meeting on Monday mornings at the old job), I quickly realized that was a thing of the past. It felt pretty damn good.
