Sniffle

All week last week I kept noticing people sniffling.
And coughing.
And losing their voices.
Asia came home from Yakima on Thursday with the bug.
He still hasn't kissed me yet...
And I still caught it.
So my voice hurts whenever I talk.
And my throat burns.
And I'm achy.
Makes me just want to crawl in bed.
Thank goodness for Nyquil.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
I'll be okay in a few days, I suppose...

    Oh, Cath, I'm so sorry... I caught it at the end of last week and was down for a few days, too. Feel better soon.

    This comment will be totally unrelated to your ailing self but I wanted to say that I enjoy reading your blog and I think it's because you simply seem pretty content with life. Maybe it's because I know you but it's weird. Your words sort of eek of contentment even when you mention a struggle or two. Kind of weird but evidence of a deep peace within. That's my take on things anyway. I'm not big into many blogs but yours is a wee touch of goodness each time I check in and it's nice to keep up on the fam. Kudos on a great job with consistency and good stuff.

    Lorraine, that is quite possibly the sweetest comment I've ever received on my blog.

    You totally made my day.

    Thanks.

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...

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...
