Ask me

Ask me just how I get sucked in to watching made for T.V. Disney movies about cyber chicks and finding that Hannah Montana lines are now part of my every day dialogue. "Why, why, why, why, why, no, no, no, no, no, you, you, you, you." Yep, that's Jackson on Hannah. It's a phrase that comes in quite handy though. Like when Sawyer dropped a glass bowl tonight, or when Ellyn dropped a glass yesterday, or when Ellyn dropped a plate Monday (I am running out of glasses, really and truly. I don't think I will replace them with glass, maybe some lovely Walmart plastic-BPA free of course). Or when I'm blaming my children for having my brain sucked away by the Disney channel this evening. Also, another fun line is "Daddy's little convict says what?" Billy Ray Cyrus a.k.a. Robbie Ray uses that one. I am neither a dad nor do I have a daughter that is a convict yet I still enjoy saying it. What can I say? An hour of Disney (tonight 1 and a half) keeps the mommy sane, in some ways. I am a 34 year old using Hannah Montana lines.

yeah i'm not sure that qualifies you as "sane".

Adam babysat my friend's kids while her and I went VT on Tue. When I got home they were all watching The INcredibles. Even though I had mountains of things to do, I sat there and watched most of that movie. I just went brain dead, which is always my problem with tv. I'm so glad we don't have the Disney channel...yet.

2018 and Another Go!

For almost three years I have been thinking how very sad it is that I hadn't continued to keep a journal of our family activities.  No more deployment letters and emails to Mike, no more family blog to keep grandparents and aunts and uncles connected to our family.  Nothing but printed off monthly calendars saved in a file somewhere.  I guess our family blog died a slow death when we lived in Washington and we were seeing everyone all of the time.  It just was not important to keep everyone informed.  They were right there with us.  I did not stop, in all the chaos, to think how very important the blog might be to me, or to my children.  I have often thought of the cute pictures and quotes we had saved on our family blog.  I thought of the interviews I did with the kiddos, and how grateful I was that, somewhere, on a dusty webpage, those beautiful faces, those funny antics, still existed.  I have checked to make sure the blog still existed fr...

Black Lives Matter, May 31, 2020

 I have known Larry and Corrie since our early twenties.  I know what good people they are, the love they have for their family.  I cannot imagine the pain their family feels. How many mothers can share these experiences?   As a mother I cannot imagine, no matter the age of my child.  I think of all of the mothers worrying tonight, mothers of black children, mothers of police personnel, mothers of business owners.  This shouldn’t have had to happen. I know that the riots of this weekend are tragic and heartbreaking and will cause wounds that will last for years to come.  I think we have to acknowledge that the trajectory of the path forward was untenable.  Our black fellow citizens cannot be expected to live in a state of such racial disparity.  We need to listen, and again, acknowledge that time and again their voices have been ignored. I am not going to debate in comments.  I realize many have strong feelings.  I am sharing mine.

November 7, 2020, My Beautiful and Wise Daughter, Jane. I can breathe again. I won't be going to bed with my stomach in knots and my whole body feeling tight. I won’t be listening to a President who gains momentum by tearing others down. I won’t be going to sleep worrying that my children won’t have clean water to drink or clean air to breathe. I won’t be going to sleep thinking about the horrific experiences of children being torn from their mother’s and father’s arms because they were seeking refuge. I won’t be living in fear of the rapidly-growing racist attitudes and prejudice—that someday harm would come upon my baby that I have now and my future children. That my sister and my cousin and others that I love won’t be stripped of their rights and feel like they are any less of a human being than the rest of us. If this election wasn’t going to change anything for you and if you didn’t see the harm that Trump was causing, that is great and I’m sincerely glad that you have that p...
