Mornin' friends!

Ah, Spring!

After pouring down rain all day Saturday and weather forecasts predicting more of the same, we were treated to a glorious, sunny Easter morning. It couldn't have been more beautiful.

The kids got their Easter baskets, Asia got his Resses Peanutbutter Eggs, and I got my chocolate. My friend Deb even brought chocolate to church for me. (Thanks!) The highlight though? A little Peep bunny floating in my latte from Brews Brothers. How pickin' cute is that?

Truth be told, I felt lousy when I went to bed last night. I didn't gorge, by any means, but I ate quite a bit of chocolate. And coffee cake. And other assorted nummies. And I felt pretty miserable. The more I strive for healthy eating, the more I notice when I fall off the wagon.

This morning I start a new attempt to organize my time. I sat down with the new class newsletter while I was at work over the weekend and planned out my schedule in terms of class samples. If I don't get them done in a timely manner it's like there's this dark cloud hanging over my head. I get cranky. I lose inspiration. I start feeling a little lost, creatively. With my plan though, I know what I need to get done when, and I feel empowered to create without pressure. It's a good thing.

Time to get moving. It's a busy day.

Costco. The fabric store. The pet store. The bank.

Bless you, friends.

    Oh, I *love* the bunny in the cup! So cute! (providing that kelly was just kidding of course, otherwise it's just gross...*LOL*)

    I know what you mean about trying to eat healthy and then eating something not so healthy. I get these weird headaches now when I eat certain foods. Does that stop me though? *LOL*

    I need to find that flax seed pasta you mentioned in your other post. Sounds awesome!

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...
