balancing act

something must have been simmering under the surface of my thoughts as i played with these old favorite rocks today. almost in spite of myself, i seem to have built a model of our life at the moment. my husband is a tax preparer with an overfull schedule buried in the depth of the US tax filing season. he is also a finalist for a fairly prestigious food writing award, which is why we are flying to chicago this weekend for the IACP awards ceremony. our 15 year old daughter plays round 2 of a piano competition on sunday morning before flying–by herself for the first time–to visit grandparents in california. our son will be at his best friend’s house for the weekend, playing beyblades under the gentle watch of diego’s mother. we are four precise stacks of stones. and we all need to stay standing for the next 48 hours. then we can topple back into every day life.

    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Bless you!
