Another (Harrowing) #StreamTeam Review Is it ever okay to lie? If you're like me, at first glance, you say no. And then you surprise yourself by lying. * * * The April #StreamTeam theme was "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire." This annoyed me at first because "Really? They want me to watch movies about lying?" But then, after thinking about … [Read more...]
My Eagle Scout
As promised, here are some of the photos from my son's Eagle Court of Honor. It was held on Sunday, April 12th, and was a very fun and busy day, the culmination of his career as a Scout. I'm a proud mama, certainly. (Proud and tired. Thank goodness for coffee.) I was up way too late the night before, assembling his photo board and … [Read more...]
1000 Words
I blinked and this week ran away from me. Sometimes the calendar is so full-to-bursting--with track meets, lacrosse games, speech therapy, piano--that it's all I can do to STOP. Full stop. Breathe in...breathe out...signs of spring...gratitude. … [Read more...]
The Wings to Fly: Thoughts about Honesty, Temperance and my Son becoming an Eagle Scout
Let's start with the fun, exciting news: My son's Eagle Scout court of honor was yesterday! I have some nice photos from the day but won't be sharing them until tomorrow because our computer, annoyingly, keeps crashing when I try to access the files. This made assembling the Court of Honor slideshow quite stressful, but the coffee and Redd's … [Read more...]
A Life Well-Lived
You might think, by that title, that I'm talking about my 90-year-old parents, and you would be right. But only in part. It's true that my parents have lived their lives--their very long and rewarding lives. The years were full up and now they're thankful...but tired. Were you to ask them about death, they'd reply: … [Read more...]
Easter Ninja
That's how we're feeling on this glorious day. Our Lord has conquered sin and death, which is (frankly) way better than any ninja. He is risen! Alleluia! * * * Footnote: I do plan to post more photos later. Right now I'm like: Need. More. Coffee. And my girls are like: Hopped up on Sugar and Refusing to Sit Still And my … [Read more...]
My Good Enough
Here's how I know that it's Holy Week. This morning I made myself a second cup of coffee because I'd left the first cup upstairs and was too exhausted to go get it. I needed coffee for my coffee, is what I'm saying, and that's how I know that the Triduum is here. Holy Week is always a seat-of-my-pants affair. What gets done gets done and what … [Read more...]
The Early Bird Catches the Joke Worm
90 years young!
Spare a prayer for my sweet daddy? His name is George and it's his birthday! His wife, six kids and hundreds* of grandkids thank you. : ) *I'm rushing out the door and don't have time to count. Trust me. There's a lot of them! … [Read more...]
This Semi-Eternal Lenten Reinvention
(#StreamTeam) (#movies) (#angst) (#giftofhope) At the start of every month, I receive a prompt from Netflix suggesting a theme for my next post. These prompts are fun and full of suggestions, like "Celebrating Milestones" or "Creating your Own Destiny." The theme for March was "Reinventing Yourself," and immediately I … [Read more...]
