Everybody’s moved in.
Everybody made it through Day 1.
DS1 likes his schedule but won’t tell me why.
DS2 got to suit up for Varsity squad soccer tonight but didn’t get to play.
I had more homework than either boy put together (thanks sign-the-syllabus movement and school info forms!)
I thought I had a long day - out at 8; [...]
My mom called me out of the blue this afternoon. Not to chat or check in with me. Apparently my brother is “in financial disaster” and she wanted to know if I could pay her back any of the money I owe her.
Really? I had just gotten off the phone with my brother and he [...]
One of the more interesting family traits I noticed this weekend was the propensity to get right to the heart of the matter and ask the question directly. Applying the principle of ascribing “positive intent” and casting another’s actions in the best possible light, I’d say my cousin K (and his wife K) were deeply [...]
I’m still processing a bunch of the conversations I had this past weekend. You see, we joined a mini-reunion with my dad’s side of the family. Cousins who, as a group, I haven’t seen for many years. Some of them close to 20 years.
And one thing I learned this weekend is that this permiable boundary [...]
Elle and Little Miss O joined me and DS1 for the NE Parade this year. (Appologies to Elle for the Condition of My House. She was so kind and excited to see the finished shower. That’ll teach you! )
Third year in a row that I’m the proud mom of a tuba [...]
DS2 did a marvelous job this morning when he made his public statement of faith during his confirmation.
After the service we stayed for the coffee-hour reception and then came back to the house for dinner. We had beef roast, fresh horseradish (courtesy of my first CSA box), broccoli, mashed potatoes and gravy. I forgot to [...]
Her favorite spring flowers.
Mom has run her own tax office/bookkeeping business for over 30 years, so her birthday has always been a work day. Here’s hoping today can be a great day for her anyway.

Was at work exactly 23 minute this morning - got peeved about something, flipped on my blog - came to check you out and found this.
coincidence? I think not.
Thanks for JUST what I needed JUST when I needed it!
She beat my by 20 minutes. I must have had a premonition when [...]
Why ask why?
It’s echos of that ancient conversation Jesus had to put up with (John 9:1-3) I suppose, but it still bugs me that that is the primary response from my family of origin on this whole thing. Trying to figure out how I am to blame. Without even knowing if the doc found and [...]
Life certainly is a jumble of contradictions here these days!
In one breath, I’m bemoaning the consumerism of my birth family around the holidays and the fact that I really don’t want any more STUFF because I don’t want to be a pack rat. And don’t want to give any more STUFF and contribute to others’ [...]
