Interesting

Life is interesting...I mean REALLY interesting. Nothing has quite been what I thought it might be and just when I think I've got a good system going, we enter a new phase with new rules and it all starts over. Not that I'm complaining...okay, I'm complaining, but not in an intense, whiny way :). I get bored easily and it keeps things, well, interesting. Now if I can just learn to enjoy change...

Some recent interesting things that are happening:
-Both boys are in school 6 hours a day which means I have more uninterrupted time to work on things
-Ironically, people I've tried to set up play dates with for the past couple of years are all of the sudden free, so I'm spending more time with people.
-Though some rather bizzare circumstances, I find myself co-leading worship for this year's northern zone ladies' retreat. It's rather last minute since it starts in about a month, so we've been scrambling to get stuff set.
-Recently, I agreed to work with vocals for The River Church, which means I'm running partial rehearsals (which I haven't done since Ian was about a year old) again and directing the choir when we have special services where we use a choir. This is what my college training was about, so it's nice to dust it off and use it again, though I find I've let myself grow a bit rusty in a few areas, which leads me to the next thing to incorporate in my days...
-I've realized it's been a while since I've had an intentional system for exercising and strengthening my voice. I've recently started practicing my vocal exercises again and look forward to gaining some of the flexibility I feel I've lost.
-I'm continuing my daily exercise routine, which is quite invigorating, but takes time.
-In the meantime, I need to make sure I get the boys' Halloween costumes made. This year there are three to make since I offered to make one for my nephew too. He saw the ones I made for e-bay last year and my sister said he was so impressed and really wanted one. I was wishing I had known so I could have done one for him last year, but determined to make one this year.

So...my October is pretty well booked up. I'm wondering what the Christmas holidays will bring...
