I'm here.

Crazy how starting back to school with FOUR kids has thrown me for such a loop this year.

Somehow there hasn't been any time to blog.

This morning Tejan and I go to the hopsital for a day of testing. I expect to be at the hospital most of the time this whole week... with surgery scheduled for Wednesday...

We have several families bringing us meals this week... what a blessing. I am so thankful to not have to worry about cooking/providing healthy meals for the family...

Tejan told me last night at bedtime that he is not worried about going today. But this is a pattern I see in him... he seems fine facing new things until just minutes before it's time to go. And then he curls up in a ball and refuses to move. (Sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively.) The point is - he puts the brakes on big time. I anticipate the same thing when it's time to go today. I'm a bit anxious, because I'm unfamiliar with this hospital... for some reason, I'm all freaked out about not knowing where to park. Or whether I should bring lunches for us...

I know we'll get through the day.

But if you're the praying sort, could you remember us today?

So far, being in America has been one grand adventure for this little boy.

Today starts some pretty scary stuff for him.

Pray that I can comfort him and be able to support him and help him feel safe.

Pray that the doctors can fix his legs completely.

Pray that he will have courage.

Thanks, friends.

Happy Monday.

    Me, too, Cathy.
    He couldn't have a better family to help him thru this.

    Oh man, you were expecting a healthy meal? I'm glad I ran out of time to bake something for dessert :)

    We've prayed all day and will continue. Sweet little boy.

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

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...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
