Sunday evening and all is well

I made it though the week.

Three classes.

Conferences for all three kids.

Asia out of town.

Two sick kids.

Two trips to the doctor.

Typing, formatting and publishing a huge booklet for the school auction.

Laundry, dinner and household chores? Totally ignored.

It was pretty ugly around here.

But it's over.

My classes were a success, the auction went off without a hitch, and I'm finally caught up on my laundry.

Asia is home.

The kids are starting to feel better.

And I'm feeling more relaxed than I have in weeks.

I get to make pies tomorrow.

I love baking.

And I make really good pumpkin pie.

Had a phone call from an old friend today.

We talked for a long time.

I hung up refreshed. And thankful. And happy.

All good things.

Contentment is good for the soul.

Hugs, ya'll.

    Cathy, I too am glad everything is back to normal. Sick kids are not fun, especially with your husband out of town.
    I meant to tell you that I loved your comment on my stamping blog. That little arm in the photo of new stamps belongs to my oldest son, Harrison. :)

    Something I have been thinking about- Do you think laundry and dishes belong on the to-do list? I mean, they will always be there then, won't they?

    MMM... pumpkin pie. I can't wait for Thursday! Andy is baking tomorrow :)

    So glad Asia is home and life is calming down a bit for you (if a Mom can ever have a calm life that is!!)

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. 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...
