The early bird gets the...

Asia left early for the airport - he's in Seattle for the day. And of course, since I woke up and can never seem to get back to sleep once I'm awake, here I am.

It's okay. Lots to do today.

Church was good yesterday... we had a great sermon about prayer. Nothing earth shattering and new - but a good simple reminder that prayer is what aligns our hearts with God's will... always good to be prodded in simple christian disciplines.

So - summer's almost here. I'm ready. Ready to let the kids sleep in a bit. And to relax a bit in the mornings. We're a little structured here in the summer - I have to be in order to stay sane - but it's a flexible structure. And it's so lovely to enjoy our mornings together without rushing about. The simple fact that I won't have to make three lunches before 8:00 am is enough to have me shouting from the rooftops "Hallelujah for summer!" I seriously dislike making school lunches. I'm teaching a bit less too, which will be nice.

My friend Ann was over this weekend and pointed out that I still have my Easter decorations out. Come on, Cathy. What a loser! I'm putting them away today. And I'm cleaning my studio. I can't even turn around in there it's such a mess. (I've not unpacked from my weekend away and there are boxes and bags and totes everywhere.) And I'm getting back to the club to work out. Seriously need to work out.

Okay. Time to get in the shower. Happy happy Monday friends. Don'tcha love a Monday?

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...

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...

A year of lists...

  I've been blessed with a wonderful online group of friends for about 8 years and am joining them this year for a blog challenge to post one list a week in an effort to revive our mostly neglected blogs... I'm hoping to post a list each Monday starting today! List #1 - 2013 in review January: I got my first dent in my six month old Kia Sorento and it was a doozy! The car was totaled in a 19 car pile up on an icy Spokane hill. We were blessed by our insurance with complete car replacement with upgrades. Sorento #2 is working out just fine! February: I turned 44 - Asia and I celebrated with a little Spokane staycation downtown. Asia started working at Spokane Therapist - seeing his first clients and beginning to build his private practice. March: Kyler decided to quit running... having decided not to pursue a running career in college, he wanted to free up that after school practice time to work more and save more money for college. I was proud of his...
