Mixing it up...

The day after a fun-filled Cabooze staged Rocket Club (www.rocketclub.info) concert I washed the Nashville fragrance off my skin and replaced it with deep woods Cutters. I traded the fashion-forward ripped jeans and black heals with cargo pants and Keens. I felt a bit out of place, and a lot out of my mind with fears of mosquitos and swim-tests. I was much more confident at the concert last night. But, I am a MOM first and foremost; so as a MOM I make sacrifices constantly. I also make memories with my son a priority (though I must admit this one took my husband's coaching - to get me here). In a four day Boy Scout weekend I had no time to daydream about unproductive things. I was scheduled at all times. All attention was directed to Jake and getting him where they said he had to be. Structure. Order. Not things I am usually good at. Throuth a quick transition from loose and loud concert Friday night – to the next – the orderly peace of nature-in-a-tent Saturday I realized: whether it's Cutters or Cologne nothing was out of place. Concert, Cabooze, Kids, Camp, It's all good. Mixing it up, having fun, loving my kids...
