I forgot how much time I really have while the kids are in school. I'm taking the two classes AND I've had time to make my own projects on top of the homework.
Everybody is pretty much loving being back at school. So far the kids' teachers are managing pretty well. I have yet to meet them, but the grades, comments and notes coming back to me are all right. Havoc's even doing well in spelling! The summer's schedule of ballet/theater and kung fu would have left us treking insanely every school day except Friday. Choices had to be made. The littles loved Kung Fu, so I think I'll have them trade second semester. Gradual progress is OK and possibly they'll develop a strong favorite after two good semesters of activities.
I've had the random appeal to homeschool again. Don't tell the kids, but I retain my sanity at 7:30 AM by imagining us switching to PACyber and getting the kids little netbooks to do school on. All of us sitting peacefully around the dining table or on the patio doing our various work...What a nice dream. But you know it would turn back into all of us fighting and not meeting one another on a workable educational level.
My classes are giving me more confidence with design and metal. These earrings sprang quite easily from my bench.
I've started a tumblr mini-blog just for bench photos while I'm working like mad. http://intentional-stones.tumblr.com/ If I get too busy to write a full blog entry, try and find out what I'm working on over there!

There's that. I love the time I get. I'm so not a morning person, though!
