Bloggity Blog Blah

Obviously, I'm having some difficulty blogging lately.

Part of it is having the kids home all the time. There just aren't a lot of quiet moments to think through posts or form coherent sentences.

In some ways, bloggable material is short... when every day is a repeat of the last, there aren't a lot of things I can write about without boring myself, let alone my readers.

And partly, I'm just trying to enjoy summer without giving myself any pressure to blog... as my kids get older, I'm trying really hard to cherish the time we have together. This summer feels like a bit of a passage for me, as I'm watching Kyler go from little boy to teenager - from wanting to be home and be a part of 'family fun' to wanting to spread his wings and spend more time away from home. It's tough on me... and I'm holding onto each moment with him, knowing they are going to become fewer as he gets older and his horizon expands.

So the blog is low on my list of priorities.

Seems like that's kind of standard around the blogging world right now... which is okay.

It just doesn't seem right to be sitting in front of a computer screen when the sun is shining and there are so many summery diversions available, does it?

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...

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...
