falling back into busyness

How is it November already? Somehow time slips away as the leaves fall to the ground each autumn. The school year seems to put my life on fast forward! Before we know it, the holidays will be upon us again!

I generally live in one of two states -- busy or extremely busy -- and the past several weeks and months have been one of those extremely busy times! I'm certainly not complaining because I realize my busyness is by my own choice, and most of what makes me so busy are things that I absolutely love doing! Every so often I panic and wonder why I say "yes" to so many things, but yet I can't think of an answer when asked what I could cut out of my schedule! Here's what's been keeping my hands full lately:

While I love so many of these things, I am also so thankful for today... a break from routine. A day without a plan. A day for me. Tonight will bring another wave of parent/teacher conferences but for now I'm relishing in today.
