Pictures taken today at Bertram’s Beach. These were the only ones in which Tabitha isn’t trying to ruin the pics with crazy faces. We were together this morning as a family but have now already dispersed: Mist is out and about with a friend, Tabs is at soccer tryouts with her dad and Pip and I are at home.
Such a whirlwind last few days. Spent many nights up with an ill Pip. She is slowly recovering as you can see. She still cannot talk (laryngitis) and has a bad cough. Peter is slowly recovering from a wicked bout of gastroenteritis: vomiting and fever. Just when I thought Pip was sleeping through the nights, Peter was up sick all night and of course, so was I 😛
Taught my last ZumbAtomics class of my first session on Friday and we had a mini concert for the parents. It was much fun. I also taught Thursday night at UBC and was greeted in the ball room by hundreds of banquet tables and chairs! I requested another hour of pay if I am expected to put away ballroom chairs (and received it). But an entire ballroom of tables and chairs is too much for one dance instructor to put away before class. I must renegotiate terms next session. I absolutely love teaching though and am trying to teach at least one class a weekday.
Attended a course at Okanagan College on how to publish an eBook all day yesterday–very informative and exciting. I am so busy writing and soon to be publishing, painting and dancing. I’m going to start my own small publishing company. Who knew my career would come together in such a way? It seems to be falling into place and I am loving all of it. All the preliminary work I did while my babies were preschool age has set the stage: painting, writing, M.A. degree, Zumba instructor training. It is all merging now that my youngest baby (Pip) has started kindergarten. Each of my fields of study and interest are fitting together and complementing each other in such a way that I am very happy and excited about my work.
