wow, what a long and tiring 2 weeks or so. had the girls dance class performance last sunday as well as a full dress rehersal on saturday morning (at which audrey decided to disappear scaring the living hell out of me for 10 minutes) as well as 3 dance classes in the week before, jess back and forth between melbourne and newcastle to support lauren, shoot a wedding in melbourne on the friday then attend a weding on the saturday before getting back sunday morning for the dance performance.
we also had friends visit in that week and jess’ little brother visit for this last week. good to see him, despite his missing a connecting train in sydney and causing us much grief. hashed out details and found a school for him moving here next year, which is a big relief for both jess and i, his situation wasn’t working for him and wasn’t supporting him for what he wants to do with his life and where he wants to go. now, we can actually help him with that. yay!
the last two weeks has left everyone here VERY tired and worn out. everyone is cranky and tired and exhausted.
i really feel like i’m at the end point of what the last few weeks & months have been leading up to, and like i can allow myself to collapse for a bit and just try to recoup. that being said, both jess and i have a tonne of work to get done and there’s the everyday life stuff that comes along with having 4 businesses and four young kids to manage, as well as bills to pay and food to buy and a house to attempt to maintain. uhg.
i’m deferring from my design course. it was a bad time to try and do it with everything going on and as they say, something had to give. i’m going to pick it up again in january and kick it’s ass.
um, and that’s it. i’m honestly too drained for much of anything, i just felt i owed this place (and myself) a post. still want to keep with the regular posting, just had a hellish fortnight.
anyway, back soon.
Ryan.
