Tuesday Ten.

  1. I was wide awake at 2:30 in the morning and composed 7 of my Tuesday 10... unfortunately, I can't remember any of it now.
  2. I am officially completely done with all my class samples through the end of the year. It's a good feeling. Except that now it's time to start thinking about my January - April classes. It never ends... but I'm not complaining. I love my job.
  3. We haven't quite adjusted to the time change around here. The dog wanted to go to bed at 9:00 last night and Kyler was up at 6:15.
  4. We're off this weekend to our annual weekend in Leavenworth... it's Savannah's birthday weekend and we've spent the last four years celebrating it in a beautiful vacation home owned by some dear friends. It's one of the most relaxing places on earth. We're really hoping for some snow... it usually snows while we're there and we're dying to show Tejan the cold, white, fluffy stuff!
  5. I don't think I mentioned that Savannah got baptized a couple of weeks ago... she chose all on her own to do it... I was so proud as she stood in front of the whole church and said "I've pretty much always known God, for at least as long as I can remember, but I want everyone here to know that I want to follow Jesus for all my life." Good stuff. Good girl.
  6. There's a house on my street that went up for sale yesterday for $330,000. On my street. In Spokane. I'll be very curious to see what they get for it. The most any other house has gone for on our street is around $220K. I just can hardly believe it's worth that much... but maybe they have gold toilets or something I don't know about. I'm meeting my girlfriend Ann there this morning to look at it... I'm totally being the looky-loo neighbor. But Ann is house-hunting... so I think that makes me legit...
  7. We're going tonight to pick up Tejan. He's been gone since last Thursday, visiting friends in the Seattle area and seeing Quami, Eddie and Masa one last time before they headed back to Sierra Leone. Can't wait to see him.
  8. Ethan has become a serious kickball fanatic. Every day after school I hear the tales of who drop-kicked the ball, or who got him out, or whether anyone kicked their shoe off... it's some serious playground drama, for sure.
  9. Blogging while the kids are getting ready for school is just foolishness. Why do I even try?
  10. Happy Tuesday, dear ones.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

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...
