Listening to Angels tonight, as I do most Wednesday’s. My Hebrew School girls are here chanting the prayers they are going to do for their Bat Mitzvahs. There’s A LOT to learn before they can do it properly. And I’m learning too. I had my bat mitzvah, but I had it with other adults so…
I bet you wonder why “we” don’t fight harder in this family drama. I could understand it if you wondered. Here’s why… Years ago my grandmother got very sick. Her daughter, my aunt, was in charge of my grandmother’s money. After my grandmother died, your Grandma and Grandpa (who took care of my Grandmother in…
I really love this song by the Byrds. It’s from a verse in the Bible in Ecceciastes. It just reminds me that change is inevitable. No one can stop it. It’s like death and taxes (which you haven’t had to deal with). You’ll get through this time and you’ll find in retrospect, there were moments…
Just a quick note to remind you what scares control freaks the most: a girl with a book in her hand. So simple. So powerful! Keep reading girlies! Read everything you can. Figure out what you like to read the best and read, read, read. ( I can’t get enough of psychology and stories.)I breathe…
Things I’m grateful for: Love of my parents Love from you both and your brothers You are both safe (You aren’t in a war zone in another part of the world.) Three jobs that I like/love to do on a daily basis My connection with God that keeps me grounded. The MANY families I am…
Super busy today. Report cards are due on Friday and I haven’t even started yet. I do hate that I put things off to the last second. I need to work on that. So don’t be surprised if the posts this week are a bit short. In fact, the next two weeks since I have…
I woke up to a little snowfall at my house. It’s been so nice, weather wise. I guess it should snow some in the winter. But I’ll be glad to get the warm days back. I took Grandma out today. We went out for lunch and to do errands. Nothing really exciting. I did go…
I look back over my teenage years and now I don’t remember so many of the bad things. So much has happened since then. I’m even reconnecting with friends from this era in our lives on Facebook. We survived it together. I know home is not easy. You are getting through it though. And you…
Kitty has taken to sitting on the guest room bed each night. I think she misses my old bed and likes the sounds of the birds chirping outside the window in that room. Maybe she’s keeping it warm for you? She’ll probably be sitting there when I get home tonight. I take myself out for…
I took the car into the body shop to get it fixed. The back hatch won’t close properly either since the accident, so I’m glad to get to use a rental car until the car gets fixed. Not much else going on this weekend. I’ll probably take myself out for lunch and go shopping for…
