Well let's see, my life is anything but simple even though I long for it! I have given simplicity a break because I auditioned for a musical in October which landed me a part in a play. I am in "A Christmas Carol" and I play Scrooge's charwoman (maid). Three of my daughters are in the production as well. Since it is a very large scale production we practice several nights a week. (Think 4-5). We will be having 4 shows with seating at 2500 people for each show.

On top of that we have recently repainted our whole 1st floor, had our floors refinished, got 2 new doors installed and will be having our carpet cleaned in a couple of days. This has lead to a very messy house because I am so busy that I haven't had time to clean it!

We also had a mini-vacation about 2 weeks ago that always makes for lots of clean-up afterwards. Hey why don't we throw hosting Thanksgiving in there and we will be all set. Ok.... Done!

PS I have also been dieting and working out 4 days a week at the YMCA. I have lost 13 lbs so far! Yahoo!!! I have also been attempting to homeschool my children consistently. Ugg. Life will slow down after Christmas. I HOPE!
