Mary is the "REAL" mom

I never thought I would hear that from my 3 year old.

Today she was riding on the shoulders of my FIL (who is visiting for the first time in nearly 2 years). Little {c} asked if Poppie Steve lived with Grandma Gerry (my mom). He said no ... he lives with Grandma Caryl (my husband's mother). They went on to talk about how Grandma G is mommy's mom and Grandma C is daddy's mom. My 3 year old had the hardest time understanding this (because we all know that parents don't really have parents), but she was certain of this and told my FIL that "Mary is the REAL mom and God is our FATHER". Pretty soon they were talking religion.

I guess she listens a little at church nursery and at home ;)

How cute! I think it is difficult for kids to understand that mommy and daddy have parents too! Sounds like she has a good grasp of family to me! :-)

Wow, I missed so MANY of your posts! Sorry. I'm in a blogging rut and running around like crazy these days. I ended up putting the kids in school last week and it's a little bit of chaos here. Happy birthday to E. I love Fridays now as well. I hope you had a fun date nght with your husband. And Happy Mom's day to you too. :)

Precious. Love the "figuring" out of things faith-based. Adorable!

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 ...
