time crunch

Time seems to be running short-- I have 1.5 lessons left in my photoshop book but haven't been able to get to it.  Additionally, my other responsibilities are pulling for my time as the new school year approaches.  Yet, I feel bad for my niece who is waiting for pictures!  I can't give them to her as is!  I only want to release them when I feel they are at their best.  Hopefully it won't be too much longer.  My carefree, devoted time for photography seems to be over, though. :(  I was feeling badly for my mom--with her watching the children for me on Mondays for such a long time.  This Monday my sister is also joining in.  I felt guilty for taking their day while I invest in a hobby so I told them I would come straight home after work.  It probably wouldn't change my reaction, but I realized after the fact, that the next Monday is my birthday-- so I will be coming straight home to spend some time with the kiddos, and then, school starts back up and this summer project time comes to an end.  Bummer.   What a blessing to have had any of the time, though.  Stay tuned---hopefully more pictures will be ready for sharing in the near future! :)
