Ten on Tuesday.

  1. Spring has finally come to the inland northwest. We're supposed to be in the mid 80's by Friday. I can hardly wait to get out the capris.
  2. I had a nice mother's day - with brunch out at Madeline's with the family. Yummy food, great coffee and fun conversation... good stuff. Of course, I missed Tejan and wished for him to be there too... I expect I will miss him every mother's day. It would be hard not to.
  3. This week is crazy busy with so many school events happening. Track meets, walk-a-thons, PTG meetings... May is always such a crazy month. I don't mind it though... busy feels good right now.
  4. Crazy bird seems to be taking a little break from crashing into our window. I've only heard him two or three times in the last week.
  5. We took a nice long bike ride with another family over the weekend. We met the Holm family through Ethan's wrestling program - their son Eric and Ethan liked to wrestle each other at practice - turns out Olaf, the dad, is best friends with one of my classmates from high school, Andy Peitsche. They met in college. And Kyler and their oldest son, Andrew (named after Andy) have a class together at school (at a school with 500 kids in 7th grade.) Small world. Our families have oodles of fun together... of course, poor Savannah is left without a playmate, as happens so often for her. She's a good sport though, and doesn't seem to mind hanging out with the boys. (A lot like her mom that way...)
  6. I need a new power cord for my computer. I'm always having to wiggle this one to get it to work. Drives me crazy.
  7. I made the yummiest pork chops for dinner last night. Seriously yummy. Even if you don't like pork chops much, you should try these. They're SO tender and flavorful.
  8. Went to Savannah's "Band and Strings Spectacular" at the Spokane Arena last week. 2200 5th and 6th graders playing together... so fun. She plays cello. See her there in her pretty pink easter dress? I think she was the prettiest 5th grade girl there...
  9. I'm having loads of fun at Kyler's track meets trying to get the perfect high jumping action shots...
  10. Can anyone tell me why the polish on both of my fourth toes is gone? So weird.


Happy Tuesday, friends. Smooch you all.

    Great list, Cath! Hey, just a head's up, it might not be the power cord. It might be internal (the little metal thing in the computer). Mine has gone out twice and had to be fixed. So, you might want to check it out before you buy the cord.

    Savannah looks soooo pretty in that picture!!

    I remember reading the other day in the police blotter about a bird arrested for beaking & entering; he gets out on work release; could be the same one; :{

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...
