Can you say scatterbrained?

  • The dog is snoring.
  • I just helped make an Egyptian pyramid out of those long, skinny wafer cookies with K.
  • Russ Taft is singing White Christmas.
  • Everyone else is downstairs trying to advance to the next level of E.'s new Lego Star Wars 2 game on the Game Cube.
  • Lots going on these days, eh? And we're not even busy with major Christmas productions and parties... still, with three birthdays in the six weeks before Christmas, and a trip in the works to see extended family, I'm feeling the crunch.
  • Gotta finish my application for Tejan... like, yesterday.
  • Am I going to start baking, ever?
  • The kids only have 5 more days of school before Christmas break... agh!
  • Rainy, rainy, rainy outside. Lots of slushy, melty snow. Yech.
  • Went to a local church's christmas program last night... smarmy is the best word I can come up with to describe it. It was well done, but oh, so smarmy.
  • I love that word smarmy.
  • And glom.
  • As in, "I held a baby in church this morning who immediately glommed onto my necklace and wouldn't let go."
  • Considering a change of Christmas tree decorations for my big tree next year. Gotta think about that now so I can take advantage of those big after Christmas markdowns.
  • We put colored lights on the kids' tree this year - it's been years since I had colored lights on any tree. They're so pretty.
  • The holiday season is a great season for me in terms of my job... lots and lots of people making gift projects = lots and lots of class fees. I'm rollin' in it right now.
  • I LOVE candles.
  • I've been wanting to go to a movie lately... I can't remember the last time I saw a movie in the theatre. I want to see that new one with Cameron Diaz... The Holiday? I think that's what it's called.
  • We'll be traveling on Christmas Eve this year, coming home from our extended family Christmas. Christmas Eve is K.'s birthday. We decided instead of driving all the way home on his birthday, we're going to stay at a really nice hotel and do the pool and room service and watch a movie... everyone's excited about it. We'll drive home on Christmas Day and then do our family Christmas when we get home. It's going to be different, but fun, I think.
  • Okay. That's all.

    I forgot all about glom...
    But it brought back memories. I remember just not even trying to wear necklaces when my babies were all little and then in later years would forget when we went somewhere where there were babies and sure enough the earrings or necklaces was the first thing they went for. About lost some ear lobes.

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...
