Lazy Week:P

Grandma Bennett was here for about 10 days and we had SUCH a fun time. And this week was our Mid-Winter break. I did three things

1. Babysit. I earned all of my money for Wicked in one week. I LOVE babysitting. It is so fun to play with little kids and especially since I have babysat them since they were babies.
2. Watch TV. I was watching Psych, my new favorite TV show.
3. Family. Although it was a lazy week, it was needed. It was the end of the trimester and a new one starts tomorrow. It was nice to be together as a family and not ALWAYS doing something. Just relaxing and talking.

I love ALL of my family so much. I cannot wait to see everyone this summer:)!

I read all of the blogs, almost every day, but I am making it a goal to blog more.

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...
