Ordinary Madness

Music means so much to me, and it is a primary way that I stay motivated. I "found" a group on iTunes this year that I really like. It's JoJo Effect and they are a Nu jazz/Latin/Lounge group.

One song in particular speaks to me. It's called Ordindary Madness, and it is all about the hectic life of a woman. In the song the woman is a stay at home mom, but every time I listen to this song (and I que it up on my ipod frequently), I see myself. I am constantly in catch up mode and have absolutely no time to even whine about it.

For instance, in July I taught a week of summer camp at Art Space in Raleigh. I taught from 9 am to 12, then came home, grabbed a quick bite and jumped back in the car to go work on Lady Carolina Blooo. Two days a week I picked my grand daughter up from daycare and also dropped her off in the morning. Starting in mid-July, I had two 4-week evening classes for fused glass that filled at the Cary Arts Center, so that meant short work days on the cow and no dinner with the family. I didn't cook as much during this time, but I do usually make most of our meals and keep up with the house work.

Now that the cow is done and the parties are over, I am back at my temp job. And school starts this week. Our son is a senior this year and the calendar is already full of dates for ACT tests and school activities. More ordinary madness to come.

I know my sister and all of my friends with children run themselves ragged trying to get everything done. So my salute to you is "Ordinary Madness". I hope you all enjoy!
