Yeah, I guess it has been busy lately.

crazychicknladyS and I were reflecting on why we felt like we hadn't had a down day in a long time. She pointed out that if we started counting from Wednesday last week, we really hadn't.
Wednesday: 8 hours fire/glass, because we did back to back open studio then class.
Thursday: S took C swimming at the local pool and did enough diving to make herself very sore. I woke up at 7:20 (trust me that's about 2 hours too early for me), cleaned out old boxes, met H to buy art supplies for a painting class next semester, and went grocery shopping at one of the big box stores.
Friday: 7:15 start for me and the kids to go to CPR/First Aid training. S had to meet a new violin instructor while sore and tired (that did not go well). More cleaning.
Saturday: Cleaned all day in preparation for visitors. C had a makup piano lesson. M and I went to Walmart to get a box fan and a new vacuum.
Sunday: S and I went on a last minute trip to the Pet Supply store to get fresh cat litter. We had a super fantabulous 9 hour visit with my brother and his oldest daughter.
Monday: S had a job interview with Subway. We shopped the 75% off sale at the closing grocery store. I drove up with C to the feed store to get bird food and hay, then stopped by the closing store again so he could buy cards for flicking and magic tricks.
Tuesday: Gaming day. I unloaded the hay in our high heat and humidity. We found out about a kerfuffle at gaming day.
Wednesday: Flood day. 6 hours of glass.
Thursday: This was going to be a down day for me, but instead involved two food shopping trips and another trip to the art store. H and I managed to get 4 paints and two brushes at 50% off, though. S was finally in the clear.
Friday: Bank. Music lessons, including me going in with my ukelele to play with H during her lesson and S having a second try, more well rested and less sore, with her new violin instructor. We went to a house filk, which included me watching C and the 3 year old swim for a couple of hours. I also had a poorly timed reminder that you have no control over the family you are born into*.
Today: C has his first piano recital. I should go to the closer feed store today or tomorrow to buy dog food before my coupon expires. If I go today, Sunday might be the closest I've had to a down day in almost two weeks. The thing is, since I still have to pick up the horse poop before garbage day, I may be better off just having that down day on Monday.
*That one hit me with enough emotional impact, it's going to take way more than one down day to work through.
