There is not much going on around here. Jane recorded her audition tape for Honor's Band today, we hear back on Saturday. Sadie finally went back to school this morning after staying home Monday with a cough that will not quit. Mike continues to have sleep issues and woke me up at 3:30 am to show me an SNL skit of Firelight (poking fun at Twilight, the Cullens are Frankensteins instead of vampires). It was hilarious and I'm glad I saw it. Ellyn walked really well on our Sunday walk at Point Lobos on Sunday. She walked the whole time and we were very proud of her. Sawyer walked the entire time as well. He insisted on keeping his hands in his pockets for about a quarter of the trip. It was pretty funny. He is also adjusting to falling asleep in the jogging stroller while I run (Beth pushes because she is so much faster than I am and it slows her down a little). Luckily he wakes up early enough that he is ready for a nap. Nothing else too fabulous. I did go do downtown Carmel today with Beth and Jen and that was fun. I tried on a gorgeous moonstone necklace from the 1850's that was a mere $7000.00. Oh it was beautiful. I'm tired tonight and I am going to bed.

I just saw the Firelight skit today too. The guy pouring milk on his face was my favorite part. But I think I'd be pretty grumpy if Adam woke me up at 3 a.m. to show me that video. That's just me.

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...
