Five on Friday

  1. Savannah got her braces this week. She won't let me anywhere near her with a camera yet.. she really doesn't like the way they look. I'm not pushing it. But let me tell you, she looks adorable with them on. Her teeth are really sore and we're having to cut all her food up really small... but it seems to be a little better this morning. Poor baby.
  2. I will be in Africa in two weeks. Can you even believe it? I'm feeling like there are probably all sorts of things I should be doing, but I don't know what they are. Weird. I'm simply dying to see T.
  3. Asia's travel schedule is completely over the top. He's in the middle of a stint where he'll sleep in his own bed two nights in 16 days. Nuts. I miss him.
  4. I'm missing blogging lately. Maybe that means I'll start doing it again soon. I went back and read last November's posts and it made me really want to get back in the groove. We'll see.
  5. I'm off to Target this morning to buy birthday presents for my sweet daughter. She'll be 12 on Tuesday. Where does the time go?
Smooches to those of you who still check in to see if I'm going to write anything...

    Of course we check in. Wouldn't want to miss anything ! It's just a daily routine.
    Mailed something for you to take to Tejan yesterday. Also Savannah's b'day present.
    Hugs to you all.

    I thought it said that you miss bologna lately. I'm so glad it's blogging and not bologna.

    You're going to AFRICA! So excited for yoU!

    Cathy - is there anything I can send that you can take to T? We don't have much cash right now but maybe I can come up with something.School supplies?

    We wait patiently for you posts. Like to keep up.

    Both my kids had braces, tylenol is your friend...but really after the initial adjustments they didn't complain much. Hopefully Savannah is feeling better soon. :)

    Hi, Cathy! I can't believe you are leaving in two weeks already! So excited for you :0)
    I have to say I understand the whole husband and travel thing. Mike's schedule has been so crazy the past two years! Sometimes I really miss the days of having him home every night!

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...
