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?

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...
