can it really only be 8:00 in the morning ... really? ...

already we've had one trip to the junior high to drop off eldest cherub for badminton ...

a quick trip to the elementary school to pick up "forgotten" cello ... thus missing carpool this morning which meant another drive to the high school to drop off youngest cherub at orchestra practice ...

a dash into the local grocery store to pick up large quantities of food for the burst of teens coming through the door on this short wednesday ...

really ... 8:00 in the morning? ...

lunches made, dishwasher loaded and running ...

multiple emails sent ...

two new evites in the inbox tended to ...

alas, there are still three hungry pets awaiting breakfast and one doggie wanting his walk ...

and really all i want to do is sit here in my studio and work ...

i've got a few new things up my sleeve ...

i found these beautiful safety pins at a local vintage shop ... can't you see them with lovely felted charms dangling? ...

and, on a more positive note, i did get to see the lovely sun rise this morning ... it's one of those amazing autumn days ... crisp ... sunny ...

enjoy your day ...
