One more post before I go...

I'm blogging for the very same reason I made bread pudding last night.

Avoidance is one of my better skills.

See, there are oodles of things I should be doing.

Folding laundry.
Making some meals for my family to eat while I'm gone.
Making my Costco shopping list for later today.
Packing.
Writing out a schedule of the kids' acitivities for Asia.
Cleaning my house, since no one will do it in my absence.

But no, I'd rather blog. So here I am.
With a big bowl of bread pudding by my side.

SO excited for CHA. I hadn't really gotten excited until this week. I've been looking at lots of previews at Lifetime Moments... they do a great job of posting lots of the fun stuff we'll see at the show. So I've been looking. And taking notes. And wish lists. Yesterday at work I worked on labeling the poster sized map of the trade floor. Marking the must-see manufacturer's booths with a red box. Putting *'s on the booths we have coupons for. Fun stuff.

Airport - 6:30 am tomorrow.

I'm not taking my laptop. There's just no time.
I'll post when I get back.
On Thursday.
Recovery day.

I'll take lots of pictures.
Lots and lots and lots of pictures.

I get to meet my friend Susie. And my gal pal Kelly. And probably some other internet buddies. Good stuff.

Have a great weekend/week, friends.

And.... we're off!

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...
