A whine and a challenge

Usually I wake up empowered on Monday mornings.

Ready to tackle the messes made over the weekend...
organize my week...
catch up on blogs...

This morning, however, I was totally caught off guard by my period.
(Sorry, male readers.)

So I'm staying in my jammies.

And drinking coffee.

And maybe, I'll fold some clothes later.

But for now, I'm tired.

Some months it just hits me harder than others, and I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck.

Back to bed sounds like a great option.

And I've got some great European chocolate...

Thank goodness I don't have to be anywhere today.


I just had a silly idea.
Tell me your best joke today.

I'll start:

What did the duck say when he went into the drugstore?

"Give me some chapstick and put it on my bill."

Okay, friends.
Make me laugh.

    What is this, National Start Your Period Day?

    Here is a joke my son told me at dinner tonight.

    Why should you never take your clothes off in front of Pokemon?

    Because they might Pikachu!

    UGH!

    Here (sad to say) is the best joke I know.

    Why do cherry trees smell?

    Because George Washington cut one!

    I have been around my kids for too long.

    Karla - both of your jokes made me laugh out loud.

    Apparently I've been around my kids too long, too!

    Okay, this joke so involves hand gestures, though.
    A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Why the long face?"
    Get it? The horse has a long face. Cracks me up EVERY time. Hope you're feeling better since this was written.

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...
