Sunday evening and all is well

I made it though the week.

Three classes.

Conferences for all three kids.

Asia out of town.

Two sick kids.

Two trips to the doctor.

Typing, formatting and publishing a huge booklet for the school auction.

Laundry, dinner and household chores? Totally ignored.

It was pretty ugly around here.

But it's over.

My classes were a success, the auction went off without a hitch, and I'm finally caught up on my laundry.

Asia is home.

The kids are starting to feel better.

And I'm feeling more relaxed than I have in weeks.

I get to make pies tomorrow.

I love baking.

And I make really good pumpkin pie.

Had a phone call from an old friend today.

We talked for a long time.

I hung up refreshed. And thankful. And happy.

All good things.

Contentment is good for the soul.

Hugs, ya'll.

    Cathy, I too am glad everything is back to normal. Sick kids are not fun, especially with your husband out of town.
    I meant to tell you that I loved your comment on my stamping blog. That little arm in the photo of new stamps belongs to my oldest son, Harrison. :)

    Something I have been thinking about- Do you think laundry and dishes belong on the to-do list? I mean, they will always be there then, won't they?

    MMM... pumpkin pie. I can't wait for Thursday! Andy is baking tomorrow :)

    So glad Asia is home and life is calming down a bit for you (if a Mom can ever have a calm life that is!!)

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...
