The Week Before Vacation

It's the week before vacation

and all through the house

everyone is husteling

except our pet mouse (and dogs and bunny and scorpion).

I am busy with shoots

the kids both have school

and my husband is working

away like a fool (when isn't he).

I am trying to do too much

but that's the way life goes

and when it will stop

nobody knows (not soon enough for me).

With three shoots down

and five more to go

my nerves are all frayed

and my head hurts so (staring at the comuter too much ya know).

Maybe next week 

I will have more time for me

with a relaxing bath and reading,

now that sounds like sancturary (too many books to read in one bath).

For now I will say goodbye

as I get ready for more running

next year you will find me 

far from here sunning (with a cabana boy named Carlos rubbing oil on my back and bringing me fruity drinks)

I only wish I was going on vacation!  I will still be here freezing in cornfield land but my sessions will be done for the year as of Sunday!  I am counting down the days!

My Mother-in-law has surgery on Monday so I would appreciate your prayers for her. 

Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season!
