Tuesday Ten

  1. I measured K. yesterday, just out of curiosity. He's grown an inch and a half since February. Three inches since the beginning of the school year. He is now 5'6". Somebody stop this kid from growing! He'll pass me up by the end of the year at this rate...
  2. I had a good little chat with Asia's little brother this morning via Messenger. He's such a great guy. 30 years old, single, cute as all get out... We get to see him when we're in Florida pre and post-cruise. Can't wait.
  3. I really like butter.
  4. Been thinking a lot about my husband the last couple days after a lively discussion about marriage with some good internet friends recently. I am so thankful for him. And for the relationship we have. I am SO blessed.
  5. So so sad for all the families who lost loved ones in Virginia. I cannot fathom the scope of what this one disturbed person did. Why take so many others with you? I just don't get it.
  6. It's free cone day at Ben and Jerry's. I think I'll pick the kids up from school and take them straight there. We can't pass up free B & J.
  7. The bad thing about making lots of $$$ on ebay? I've got to go to the post office. I'm not sure if it's worth it. I hate the post office.
  8. I know what I'll do... I'll pick a random commenter and send a little goodie box to someone... that will make it more fun, eh? Leave me a comment here and I'll pick someone on Thursday... Ready?
  9. Set?
  10. GO!

    Hi Cathy,
    I would love to be the one to get the little package but Argentina is a bit far I suppose. I´m with you on being blessed by a good husband. Your blog is always a bright spot in my day.
    Blessings, Leana

    Free Ben and Jerry's? How could I not know this! Oh well, with two ballet dancers in the house it is probably a good thing to not know. Tell Kyler he passed me up in the height department 5" ago.

    I forgot about the free Ben & Jerry's days!
    I need to add it to the list of things I'm forgetting lately ;0)

    On a serious note, I was very upset about the shootings in VA.
    I don't even know anyone personally involved but in a way it does involve us all. It's so hard to understand the violence and the reasons sometimes.

    And I agree about marriage.
    I've realized the past few days that despite the harder days, I am really blessed in the marriage department.

    What a funny way to get comments! I always evaluate my self worth on the basis of how many comments I get. I don't get many! If I get 5, I feel like a much-loved-blogger.
    The whole marriage thing? I have no idea. No one wants to marry me. It's tragic.

    What a sneaky and fun way to find out who is reading your blog.
    Isn't it funny, how people love a chance to win something !
    Here's my comment so I have a chance....

    I've been thinking about what happened in Virginia....33 families are in such pain now. And the people who were injured ....I read that several people jumped from the second floor window of their class room. I also read that the shooter was a loner and didn't talk to people. But although we'll never know why he did it for sure, I think he was hurting so much, he wanted people to notice him. What people do when in pain I've learned is truly amazing (not always in the good sense.)

    Your Mom and I have been power laying out (is that a word?) Getting ready for Leavenworth.

    And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the post office. The people are friendly and although it annoys me the price of stamps is going up (AGAIN!!!) it is sort of cool that for 39 ¢, they'll pick up a letter at my house, transport it across the country, and deliver it to the house of a friend in Washington DC.

    Hey Cathy!

    Such a fun way to get comments, huh? Were you following Ali's blog when she generated close to 2000 comments when she was giving something away? Isn't that insane?!

    I'm on the homestretch! (31 1/2 weeks and counting.....)

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...
