Murky Monday

I want to be back.

Really, I do.

But my brain isn't functioning well today.

We'll give this a go and see how lucid I can be... bear with me.

My week without blogging was nice - a great time to reflect and pray and rejuvenate - several times I found myself wanting to blog about something and had to remind myself that reflecting alone is good for me sometimes. I may still share some stories, because there are some good ones, but for now I will hold onto some things until I get my blogging groove back.

Thanks to those of you who are praying for Corey and her family. I am surprised at the amount of stress and concern this has caused me - since these people are far removed from my daily life. However, what they lack in daily (or even monthly or yearly) contact, they make up in the sheer amount of cumulative influence they have had in my life. These are such dear people to my heart and I have spent more time in tears this past few days than I have in years and years - probably since the death of my grandparents. My body has born the brunt of my worries and I've been exhausted and just plain weary... empathy is an interesting phenomenon - I can hardly believe how physically I feel pain for this family I love so much.

For an update, Charlie defies the doctors and continues to improve. He is off oxygen and should be moving out of the intensive cardiac care unit today. Please continue to pray for healing, as 2/3 of his heart is damaged. It is possible for some of it to regenerate - so pray to that end.

We are experiencing another gorgeous fall here in Spokane. I remember saying last year that I didn't think I'd ever seen a more beautiful show of autumn glory - well, this year is giving 2005 a run for it's money. Everything is just amazingly colorful - reds, oranges, yellows - it's really awe inspiring.

I'm off to package up a bunch of paper - sold 240 sheets of old scrapbooking paper on ebay recently and made over $140. Bonus! I love getting rid of stuff I'll never use and I LOVE EBAY!

So - I guess I'm back.

(And I managed to make complete sentences even!)

Cheers, everyone. Love you.

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...
