Tuesday. Ten.

  1. Nine days of school left. Yippee!
  2. I'm currently doing Weight Watchers to take off some extra winter padding... and also to get my lifetime membership, which is a goal in my '40 things to do before I'm 40' book. I lost 5.6 pounds my first week! Yippee!
  3. Lots to do today. I really don't like running errands.
  4. I found myself crying three times lately telling people about the whole Tejan experience. It's so strange to talk about it in the past tense... and so amazing to me how fresh the wounds remain. I wonder when I'll be able to talk about him without crying.
  5. Speaking of Tejan, I did hear a report on him. He's apparently doing fairly well with his transition back, but he 'still has a lot of america in him.' And I guess all the kids in the home are now calling everything 'cool.'
  6. I made banana bread last night. I sure hope the kids are enjoying it, because it doesn't really fit into my Weight Watchers plan... no banana bread for me.
  7. New favorite CD? Sara Bareilles. Wow, this girl can sing.
  8. I've got sunflower seedlings ready to go into the ground... now if I can just find the umph to get outside and clean out the flowerbed where they need to go... I hate weeding. But I love sunflowers. Maybe tomorrow. Yes. Tomorrow.
  9. I'm still crocheting up a storm... I'm on my second scarf and am looking for an easy afghan pattern to tackle next, I think. There's something about the simple repeptive nature of the stitches that brings me so much comfort. I'm not scrapbooking at all. But I sure am crocheting.
  10. Want to know your 'color personality?' I had fun taking this quiz this morning. I'm 'Al Fresco' and "Leather, Stone and Wood.' Who knew?

Happy Tuesday, friends. Smooches to you all.

    I need to do a list of 40 things to do before I am 40. I guess i am still a bit in denial that it is coming. Love your Tuesday 10.

    Blessings.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
