true confessions

on friday, princess had her preschool graduation. she only graduated from the 3/4 class to the prek class but still a huge deal in our little world.

tonight, mapboy has his school music program. this is the first one of his school career. it is for all of the k-2nd grade. he will be singing several songs with an animal theme of some kind. this should be a big moment as well, and it is....but here's my confession: the finals of american idol are on tonight! so all day long i've been thinking "will we make it home on time? why won't our recorder record anymore? who can i call to record it for me? when will i get to watch it?"

sad isn't it? while my little boy is so excited to perform for his friends and family i'm stressed about american idol!! what does that say about me??? well, amazing race is over, survivor is over, this is the final week of american idol....what will i watch next - and geez, i am really pathetic!!!

what can i say? at the end of the day i love a good reality show. that reality always seems much more exciting than mine. i do think i'm living a bit more reality though.

and yes, tonights performance at our elementary school will be the great reality show that i most definitely do not want to miss. and rest assured, i will find a solution to my american idol dilema!

That's so funny because that's exactly my dilemna for tonight. In fact, Say Anything just said this morning that she can't believe I scheduled this coffeehouse the night of the American Idol finals!!!! So, don't worry, we are all pathetic. But my DVR is definitely set to catch all the action. Go Jordin!!!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
