What day is today?????

It's been a little while since I posted, but honestly, I have been SOOOOOOO BUSY. I guess that is to be expected around this time of the year. Some days (or moments) I feel all together, but a lot of the time I really need to look at a list ... even then I am often overwhelmed. This is such a special time of the year and REALLY, I do want to enjoy it.

Last week was such a nice break for me ... the hubby was home, we got some house jobs done (a brand spanking new sink and faucet ... YAY!), and I took the week off of homeschooling (I needed that break). We had a wonderful Thanksgiving (just the 7 of us), and I even got some good outdoor runs in. However, when Sunday hit, I started to feel the stress again ... back to homeschooling, back to parochial school, and TIME TO START SHOPPING. Don't even get me started on the other daily things that I do. I usually don't take a breath until 9pm at night and that's on a good night.

My blogging may be few and far between. I wish that I could find the time (or organize myself better) to sit down and write, but I know that some things suffer around me if I do. The temptation of the computer is really strong , but I have been keeping so busy that my online time is a lot less. My family and home really appreciate this ;)

Some highlights of the last week ...
  • {b} has become an expert on her bike. It had been some time since she got on it, but she just has natural balance and NO FEAR.
  • {k} and {m} are super excited about the "borrowed" Clavinova . I really think that {k} will take to piano lessons really well ... she is so excited!
  • {e} was an alter server for her very first time on Sunday. She made one mistake (bringing the wrong book to the priest), but I think that has happened to others before ;)
  • {c} has a yucky cold (not a highlight, but a fact). I did get to experience her falling asleep in my arms on Sunday. She hasn't done that in so long. Looking at her like that is a great reminder of how sweet she can be.

I can't even end this little post in a meaningful way - not that it was fluent in any way with all my little interruptions. IT is nearly 10pm and I have to get to bed so that I can start all over tomorrow!

*OOPS, today is my anniversary (the answer to my blog ?). I married my husband in 5/95, but I also married him on 11/27/01. The second wedding was my "catholic blessing".

Happy Anniversary!

Don't worry about blogging-- the internet will be here when your life slows down!

List dependent here too, {E}. Sometimes I just sit and wonder what is wrong with my head that I can't get all of the mom clutter swimming around in there organized. UGH.

I hope little {C} gets over her cold quickly. Those are never fun with little ones. They are so helpless when it comes to caring for their noses! :)

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
