Fleeting.

I was working full-time hours and trying to take on 3 classes.   It just wasn't balancing.  Luckily I was able to take fewer hours, and today was my first full day off from school and work in WEEKS!


Parker has been designing her own jewelry from tearing up costume jewelry that I gave her.  She also redesigned a whimsical dress into a fairy skirt.  Today I took her to the fabric store, and we collaborated on another fairy skirt.


I have to make up for lost time both with the kids and school right now.   Things are going at such a fast pace.  I've never been so spread thin in my life.


I've found refreshment in my friends.   Rebeka and I are collaborating on our second sculpture.  I bought fabric for that today.  There was just a missing part to my soul w/o her.   We have such contrasting schedules this semester, and I hadn't gotten to really talk to her until the other day.   We talked for a few hours, but it is never enough :)   Really excited about this next project.

*Rebeka started on a portrait of me!  I am so in love with the direction she's taking it.   You should check out her blog and see the other pieces she's working on this semester. 


Also got to squeeze in some lunch-dates with my friends, and I'm really enjoying getting-to-know the people I work with.   Plus Ben has surprised me day after day when I come home from work + school. I got orchids last week and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.   On top of that he's been cleaning, washing, and organizing the house so I don't have to worry about it.

I'm hoping the Tibetan  Book of the Dead helps with a new series I've started sketching and organizing notes/thoughts on.  I have all the paper and wood I need, just lacking the time.   Hopefully this summer will allow me to dive a bit further into it.   Right now my focus is on catching back up in my drawing/anatomy class and German II.  


We both looked down/over at the cat.   Taking photos for a nose study I was doing.


And here is poor Ben crashed from such a long day.  Lo' and Peeves are watching my fork/burrito ever so closely :)
