it's been a while...

Life is FULL with no time for blogging! Teaching is back in full swing, as are my classes. It's cool- I'm directing Lance in a play and then I just got asked to be in two others today. Feel the artistic juices flow! Oh, and Lance and I are also holding auditions tomorrow for the kids' production of William Shakespeare's Haunted House. I am REALLY enjoying teaching this year. It's always been fun, but now that Lance and I are plannign things together, it's been great taking time to really work out lesson plans and focus on developing the kids as actorts, instead of just disciplining them and hoping for the best.

Signed up for tumbling and partner acrobatics at LAVA again, but am finding it hard to get to class. Yesterday, class started at 8pm and I went to bed at 7:30. no joke. I am still so TIRED!

Trying to figure out how to work even more, despite the exhaustion. Lance & I have been reviewing our budget and we are just spending about 2x as much as we earn now that we are paying for insurance for the peekster and I and then babysitting 4 days per week. If ONLY we could teach with her there! But she just needs about as much attention as her momma does, so there is no way in hell to focus on anyone but her, let alopne 29 students, when she's in the room.

Grumpy because it's a thrusday and I'm out of the house from 6:45am to midnight. I miss Peekie so much it literally hurts. Speaking of, must go relieve the pain (ie pump my boobs) before my 6:30 class. I just want to cut it and go home to snuggle with her. I can feel her curled up on my chest. It's cruel to keep this schedule. How do people work 40+ hours per week with kids? It kills me!
