Eeeek.

Seriously.

I'm scared of all the things I need to accomplish in the next few days.

And of course, I was planning a hugely productive day of errand running, and I have a sick child.

So I'm home instead.

Still working hard, getting stuff done.

Just not really accomplishing what I had hoped to today.

I've got lots of great pictures to share from the weekend still... we just had such a nice time. And here it is Wednesday. Ah well.

I'll pop a few in at the end of this post and we'll go from there, eh?

The other night at the dinner table the kids and I were asking 'either/or' questions of each other. It helps makes dinner a fun time for all of us - especially when Asia is gone.

So I asked K. a question. And he answered it, then it was his turn to ask someone.

"E. - would you rather," he paused while he tried to think of a good one...

"Would you rather marry Elise and live under the sea..."

E. giggles at the thought...

K. continues, "or marry Lena and live with a bunch of pigs?"

(Both are sweet little girls from our bible study group - E. has proclaimed himself smitten with both of them on occasion.)

E. took a deep breath.
"Ooh. That's a hard one..." he is visibly struggling and wants to answer the question carefully.

"That's a hard one," he repeats, "because I really like pigs..."

Time to go pick up the one healthy kid who's coming home after school today.


First, though, some more pictures as promised.

Cheers, friends.

It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
