i bet i had you fooled!  with all of the blogging going on this week you had no idea that i was at the lake! 

my husband is a teacher.  it is really unfair that he gets the entire summer off while i plug through the busy season.  he and eliza have been doing all kinds of fun stuff while i work, work, work, and work some more!  to make the summer work load a little more bearable we decided to come to the lake house this week.  i brought my desktop computer and i set it up at the kitchen table, so i can look out at the lake as i edit and blog.  when the sun goes down i take the laptop outside and sit on the boat to finish things up.  i think brad is ready for me to take tomorrow off.  it is difficult to explain to a 4 year old that mommy is working when all she wants to do is show me how good she is doing swimming with her floaties.

don't get me wrong, i am not complaining.  i am happy that our business is doing so well!  i am thankful for all of our amazing (and patient) clients!  i am just trying to work through it all.  i want to be the best at everything that i do.  i am trying to find balance in my life.  i love my work so much sometimes it is hard to stop, to turn off, and to live in the moment. 

this weekend mel and her husband are going to spend a long weekend with tim's family to celebrate the 4th of july.  i am packing up the computer and awaiting the arrival of our family at the lake house, so there will be a slight lull in our blogging madness.  you need to get off the computer too and go and enjoy the sunshine!

oh, since a blog post without a photo is no fun....here is a shot of my black toenail polish (i am goth from my ankles down, hee hee), my laptop, and a cervesa at sunset.  the second photo is my poor little liza jane.  she had a little accident, but she is ok now.  the blood was the scariest part!  it looks worse than it is and my little darling has a dramatic flair, so she put on this poor pitiful face just for the camera.

i wish you and your family a fun 4th!
