nose to the grindstone

Between trying to get school and music practice completed every day as well as running, free time has been in short supply. Last year may have been the year of the field trip, but this year is the time for hunkering down and getting the work done. Perhaps I have overextended myself with all the children's activities, but June will be here before I know it and we will be up in Maine with idyllic days of no school and no dance classes.
