This week has gone by in a blur of stress and excitement. Monday marked the first day of a new semester, and I have been going nonstop ever since. As a nanny working 20+ hours a week and training for a triathlon (which is this Saturday! *gulp*), on top of a 16 hour school schedule, I haven't had much time to myself lately. I covet those mornings when I am able to enjoy a cup of tea and flip through a magazine before heading off into the bustling world. I find comfort in those evenings when I have time to breathe in the aromas of fresh foods and cook something. In hopes of remembering these bright moments and reinstating some sanity in my life, I (hopefully!) will be posting more often.
