It is only the first week of school and I feel the stress of the new routine as if we are already weeks into the school semester. Maybe it is the lack of sleep from getting up at 5 am and the worry of the kids being overloaded with homework while managing household chores and business at the studio. I miss the lazy days of summer and the carefree feeling that came with the school free days. I think I am going to paint tonight to release some of my stress and find my peaceful moments while creating something beautiful and enjoying a little wine.
