The early bird gets the...

Asia left early for the airport - he's in Seattle for the day. And of course, since I woke up and can never seem to get back to sleep once I'm awake, here I am.

It's okay. Lots to do today.

Church was good yesterday... we had a great sermon about prayer. Nothing earth shattering and new - but a good simple reminder that prayer is what aligns our hearts with God's will... always good to be prodded in simple christian disciplines.

So - summer's almost here. I'm ready. Ready to let the kids sleep in a bit. And to relax a bit in the mornings. We're a little structured here in the summer - I have to be in order to stay sane - but it's a flexible structure. And it's so lovely to enjoy our mornings together without rushing about. The simple fact that I won't have to make three lunches before 8:00 am is enough to have me shouting from the rooftops "Hallelujah for summer!" I seriously dislike making school lunches. I'm teaching a bit less too, which will be nice.

My friend Ann was over this weekend and pointed out that I still have my Easter decorations out. Come on, Cathy. What a loser! I'm putting them away today. And I'm cleaning my studio. I can't even turn around in there it's such a mess. (I've not unpacked from my weekend away and there are boxes and bags and totes everywhere.) And I'm getting back to the club to work out. Seriously need to work out.

Okay. Time to get in the shower. Happy happy Monday friends. Don'tcha love a Monday?

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...
