In process.

I'm checking in... writing from a brain that is exhausted, but full.

This past time has been good... good to take a breather. And good to have the time away to work through the grieving process over Charlie's death. I'm still on a journey, I can tell. God is good.

I think since Charlie died, I have this greater awareness of the time. How we use time. Whether we're investing the hours and minutes of the day in a way that best honors God.

I know I don't, much of the time.

Charlie did. He was passionate. And purposeful.

I don't feel particularly passionate lately. And I want to.

So I'm praying about passion. And direction. And discipline.

I don't want to settle.


Speaking of passion, I got new pictures of Tejan this week. No more news as far as his arrival date, which is hard. I'm so ready to get to know this little boy. God has opened my heart wide for him.


Time to get ready for work.
Have a great weekend, friends.

    Hi Cathy,

    This is Ashley, one of your Apropos students! I just wanted to write a quick note to welcome you back to blogland. I use to read your blog all the time and then we changed computers and I didn't transfer your address over to the new one. I tried a few times to find it and I couldn't.

    I am currently in the hosptial (since Feb 1st) with pre-term labor stuff. Oh yeah, I'm expecting! Anyway, I have been doing a lot of blogging and had my husband dig out the old laptop and search for your address! I love to read your blog. I have started my own to chronicle my bedrest journey: www.bedrestboutique.com

    Your tribute to Charlie was amazing. So sorry to hear about your loss.

    Ashley

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...
