So many good things...

...Aren't there just so many good things to do that sometimes it is hard to know what you should be doing? I was just thinking that looking at my blog (and how empty it is).
On the topic, I have decided to quit teaching voice and piano lessons after July. It's a great thing, and just a couple of hours a week, but it leaves me stressed on some days. I feel like I could be doing so many more good things enjoying my baby. I went back and forth trying to decide, because I really do love teaching! This week has been a real confirmation (blessing) because I have had a lot of students out of town and have really enjoyed the non-stress week with Cadence. I will continue to teach some once-in-awhile lessons (I teach voice to my brother once a month).
Someday I will take up teaching voice again. Right now, I love performing in my kitchen (while I cook or do the dishes) to my little 5 month old! He is definitely my biggest fan. He always stops what he's doing and stares at me, followed up with a huge smile at the climax of the song! I just have to stop and laugh sometimes. I tell him often that I went to school for 4 years so I could learn to sing him lullaby's. In some ways, it's very true.
Being a wife and a mother is the best part about my life. Why would anyone choose anything else? I believe that when anything gets in the way of your family, it's not really worth it. Everything should support and sustain family. Everything you do should bring family closer together. When I remember those simple things, all of the sudden it's much more clear what good things I can do without.
