They become your plan and a journey worth living.Taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11832415641133268519noreply@blogger.comBlogger1201100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15397246.post-15464770749061397942009-06-24T18:32:00.007-05:002009-06-24T18:48:28.912-05:00

To think I spend all winter complaining about the cold.... desperate for summer smoldering heat... it comes. It's HOT HOT HOT. For a moment I may find myself saying "oh this is so darn hot", then the joy and pleasantries flood back to me. Exactly how and why I love the summer!Went to work today... spent the evening walking around with my wonderful daughters at Swedish days in Geneva. They had a

Honestly, I've had a rough ride - for as long as I can remember. That's OK. It's all character building. Well, enough is enough. Can a person have enough character? I'd like to move on now. Time after time, still putting myself out there. I believe someday it will all come together. My greatest hope is that it will at least be during the time that my children will benefit as well, and that they

Callum's femur break ordeal was an ordeal the whole family endured. From grandma Nancy sitting at the hospital with me for hours while Callum under went both of his surgeries, to all those who attended to my other children while I stayed with him in the hospital for a week. Of course not fogetting the recovery afterward - perhaps the most trying ordeal of them all. It's been nearly 4 months now

Poor Ashley has seen her share of biffs and falls... but she doesn't just scrape her knee and cry for a band-aid. It wouldn't suit her... she has to go all the way... the real deal. Kinda like her two brothers, hmmm, Callum comes to mind.She flipped out of the car window. It was parked, no I wasn't driving. She landed on her face. The blood was everywhere and I heard Hayden scream. (That means

I had lost the download cord for my camera way back in Feb. and have finally figured out the alternate way to retrieve photos and upload to my PC. Ah Joy... Means you will start seeing many more photos & posts. I much prefer adding personal commentary, unlike FB, and a mini thread. IE: My mood for the moment or a stupid opinion or poll/quiz.

Hayden... goof! Loused up a final tryout in order to play on the team with his 6th grade buddies. He played half the season and realized the coaches promptings to move him from B team to A team were for a good reason. It took some nagging on their part, but finally Hayden knew it was a good thing. He moved up to the A team, and along with the 7th graders... who are essentially Callum's buddies.

The weekend ensued with the usual fun and relaxation... started off with a little bit of worked mingling. Exhausted and ready to wrap it up, the kids and I headed home. On the way home I started thinking a call to Callum's doctor was a good idea. He had a funny lump on his leg the size of a golf ball near an insertion wound... and started feeling quite warm to me. Long story short, I dropped half

First Sleepless In Seattle and then The Notebook - after a long walk along the river and a glass of wine with an arugula salad. Pitifully sad & utterly enjoyable. My day is coming... but for now I relish every moment and look forward to dreaming dreams tonight.I count my blessings and am thrilled that Callum started walking a few days ago. Huge improvements and I know he is well on his way to a

This is the way it went down... physical therapist kept on referring to Callum's progress, or lack thereof, as a lazy try. Apparently he was not working hard enough and really should have been walking a week ago. I actually had threatened to ground him from TV, from PC, from game station.. until he would walk. Monday rolled around, "OK, you're walking today" He'd say "OK".Monday came and went.

You know that song out recently "lucky to be in love with my best friend".... I love it, for the very reason that the words are simple and sweet. Isn't that what we all want, to be in love with our best friend? That's how I see the future for me. I don't think I'll ever get bored hanging out... because every moment of doldrum leaves opportunity to be goofy with lighthearted play. Passion springs

Callum attended a church Youth Group ski trip recently - and wouldn't you know it, when your kid is away and you get a phone call at 2:04 in the morning... it can't be good. I nearly had my jeans on before I said HELLO. Protect my child supermom mode switched on.... and within moments I had life for the next weeks arranged. Of course it required waking people up at 3am... but all was well. I

I feel like I have to give explanation as to why there is such a giant gap between posts. In a word "FACEBOOK". LOL. It didn't literally suck me in as it has done others - poor souls. I hear it's quite the illness. Makes people do stupid things and allows all the narcissist qualities to be revealed.

I can't believe that over a month has gone by since I last wrote. Guess things just get busy in life and minutes slip into hours, hours into days, and days.... sadly.... the years pass! It's hard to hang onto the moment especially when so many moments are ones you'd rather avoid or wish hadn't happened. Part of life I guess. I make my fair share of mistakes, yell a little too much at times, and

We've had so much rain over the past number of hours, from the weee hours of the morning til... well, it's still raining. The Fox River is floaded... the roads are under in places and all the hardware stores have sold out of wet vacs and pumps! So, what do you do on a Saturday while all held up inside with 4 kids? Go to the nearest watering hole and SWIM of course! (Well, it was 72 and muggy out)

Using a borrowed hedge trimmer, or sword fish type looking thing... whatever it's called, I managed to trim half bush, and ended up sawing right through the extension cord.

Callum and Hayden recently attended a 4 day ultimate lacrosse camp at Benedictine University in Lisle. Of course they had a ton of fun. I don't even know the half of it. Callum won MVP and Hayden's team took the prize for the win in division. Fabulous... when both of my boys show enough skillage to take home some good spirits!

I suppose I should provide a little update on the whole hamstring thing, cause the last I wrote I just strained a mussel or two. Now I can really say DUH. After knowing I had a strained something-or-other, I attended a conditioning/sparring class..... knowing from the get go that I couldn't stretch nearly at all. First kick in the first exercise, I heard a nasty "POP" and down I went. Kissing the

A father of three teenage children had a family rule that they could not attend PG-13 or R rated movies. His three teens wanted to see a particular movie that was playing at a local theater, though it was rated PG-13.The teens decided to interview friends and even some members of their family's church, in order to find out what was offensive in the movie. After doing so, they made a list of the

Yesterday was the ECFA Golf Classic and we (my team and everyone else) had a GREAT time! My dad, Nancy, and my friend Brian (and ECFA sponsor) came out to support the agency - and you wouldn't believe the amazing weather! Directionally challenged winds took the balls where ever it pleased, the sun baked my shoulders..... and the 17th hole was unforgiving. Most balls took a swim for all 16 teams

This past weekend was lovely.... in between downpours we had a break for sun (most of Saturday actually) and my girls and I had an opportunity to enjoy the FoxRiverFest. The boys were running around with friends and enjoying incredible freedom, though checking in with me every few hours. It's great that we're reaching that point of responsibility as it makes life easier for me for certain! Anna,

My boys have this really fun habit of challenging me to tasks they secretly know I can do, yet know the challenge is the only way to get me to do it! This time it was rock climbing. I climbed the second hardest wall, over the ledge hangy thingy and all the way to the top in record time.... and really did enjoy the challenge. It's far harder than it looks, that's for sure!

It's that season again, when everyone seems to be getting married. I'm glad it's not me.. sudden I don't feel prepared even if I did have the opportunity. I'm sure it'll creep up on me, bite me in the butt, and I'll run off and elope when the right guy comes along. Until then, I'm able to enjoy everyone else's wedding and thank God it's not me up there in front of all of those people enduring all

The boys have had a fantastic season so far.. they've only lost one game... and won, for the majority, by a huge lead! 14/2, 12/2, etc.... huge! The only trouble for me is that Callum, in particular, has taken a liking to playing goal.. and that is by far the most nerve racking spot for any kid to play... at least for the parent watching. Ah well, just another excuse for me to raise my voice,

It's been awhile and so I thought I'd put some words down, anywords - what am I up to now? Listening to Robin Thicke, the thunder, and drinking a glass of wine - watching my kids watch cartoons before bed - and waiting for tomorrow to come. These days I really look forward to work - where I actually seem to get things done and gain some appreciation for that which I do. (Hard to find elsewhere).

It was too cold to spend the day outside today, so off to the climbing wall we went! They kids did great as usual... had such a great time, maybe I'll even climb next time, which is something I've never done. I'd like to be really good at it (the first time) though I'm worried I'm not and I'll just look goofy with my butt sticking out for all to see! Oh well... I'll give it a go.

Ah, what do you all think of my new set?.. It's actually a gift for a young bride in my church... she'll be wearing it with her wedding dress.

Callum and Hayden spent a week in England with their father, and returned just in time to rest up for their first lacrosse game of the season.

First game of the season against Glenn Ellyn and it couldn't have been a better day! It was supposed to be a bit chilly and very wet, though the sun came out just in time for the game and left shortly there after. The field was soggy, more fun for the boys I imagine.We killed them, 6-2! Fantastic! Surprisingly - Callum and Hayden are doing quite well on the same team this year. They really didn't

Never a dull moment. I was busy getting the grill going so we could have hamburgers and hotdogs before running the boys off to lacrosse practice, and I, off to my Wednesday evening class. Things usually don't go as planned around here. Ashley fell on Hayden's skate board ramp that he had taken apart and left laying around. Of course there was a nail sticking up out of the wood and it pierced her

The kids and I went a little nuts playing SORRY while the rain and lightening lite up the sky. I always enjoy hanging out playing games with the kids. .... We're such a goofy bunch.

This is truly a cool thing! I received an email yesterday from a friend of mine that I had met about 16 years ago! (And hadn't heard from him since) If I did the math right I think I was about 17 years old! I was vacationing in Greece, on Mykonos actually; a magical, beautiful, and wild island. It was there I met Shlomi. This place was something else - marble everything and a black sandy beach

While at Anita's over the weekend, I came across a poem I had written her many years ago. Actually, after having done the math, it was written about 14 years ago! I guess this is proof that I appreciate kind words when written to me, as in one of recent posts, because it is just the sort of thing I would do.... and have done. Here goes.....Some friends are for knowing; when there's nothing better

Very cool! Anita worked her ways and landed us Foundation Room tickets to Big Head Todd and the Monsters at the House Of Blues! They were fantastic! The crowd was a bit nutty when we ventured downstairs to experience the concert from the floor. No, that didn't work out as we managed to land a spot next to an angry woman who verbally assaulted me and tried to pick a fight .... Something was in the

With the warming weather come trips to the park, finally! My moody, near teen-age boys stayed behind..... while the girls and I went on a little trip beyond the walls of the home. What a nice change from the winterdoldrums. Still waiting for the birds and the buds... but I think we're near.

So, you want to know what I've been up to?.... I've been taking Taekwondo and have become more or less... addicted! I feel like hell in a very good way. Since I'm not working this week (kids on spring break) I've really been packing in the classes. Monday morning started with cardio training with Master Han.... MR. Militarian. He enjoyed torturing far too much. Monday evening I found myself again

A giant is only a giant if you think it is. Otherwise it is only a very tall man (if you're afraid of tall men; I'm not, I love tall men), or it's a disease, a loss of job, a troubled child, a rocky marriage, a fear, etc. You get the picture. Obstacles come to wreck our faith and become things we have to overcome - we have two choices - become beaten by our giants, and learn how to survive within

You are like a great song... one that draws you in with a beautiful melody; one that sparks your imagination and touches your heart with lyrics that are deep, but still accessible; one that you can listen to over and over and NEVER get sick of!

It cracks me up when the Irish come to Chicago and comment on how crazy we Americans/Irish decent Americans are come St. Patrick's Day. (No, I'm not more than a pinch Irish, and I didn't partake). I really have to wonder if anyone really knows what the celebration is all about anyway. I wonder if the Irish even remember what it's all about?!That doesn't surprise me and if you consider asking

Going out that is! I am so tired! Beyond tired, and a little dissheveled over the whats and whereabouts of the evening. Don't ask..... Anita and I had a great time that is for sure. Today was great fun as it was Callum's 12th birthday! Can you believe it?! I have a 12 year old son! We went bowling and I could barely move my legs! Ouch! My Taekwondo class from yesterday morning finally caught up

Yea... Tae Kwon Do! The kids were in the same class today, which was fun to see.... Ashley, as usual, was the smallest in the class, but held her own. You're the first to know, that I have officially been challenged to become a black belt! And, if you know me well enough, you will also smile, knowing I'm pumped and ready to go! I love a challenge. I start on Thursday and I'll let you know how

Congrats boys! What a hot game! (Aside from the obvious hotness of the head coach)! Green (Hayden's team) started strong with a lead by 3, but alas, the Blues (Callum's team) picked it up with a few pitch stride runs to the goal and great offensive play for the remainder. By the end it was 10 - 5. I've gotta admit, Callum's team had a season long advantage with a few of the guys on 2nd year tight

On top of the kids keeping a busy schedule for me, with all four in Tae Kwon Do twice a week, the boys in Lacrosse, Anna learning the cello, Hayden learning the violin, (oh gosh, and now Callum is talking about drum lessons).....

A friend and I few down to Florida for a mini get-away (from the kids I think, LOL), and almost didn't make it out. These winter storms have been brutal.

The snow has really been coming down. The girls had a great time sledding down the front steps of the house the other day... and with a bit over 7 inches of snow-fall last night, and a day off of school today, the kids conquered the sledding hill. As beautiful as the white pillow-topped landscape is, I'm longing for my mini get away to the Florida Gulf coast! Ah, the sun and hot tub... and

I esteem to have a humorously impactful drive, a force by which I am willingly swept away in dream and vision. A willingness to ride the tidal mood of existence and love through the sorrows and the joys. There is incredible value in the worst opposition, through which strong character is groomed and integrity is fortified. I'm a willing contender, an effectual doer,and ultimately - a winner.Faith

I just watched a completely sappy daytime movie, full of corny lines and tear jerking moments. My favorite? "Loving you was the easiest thing I'd ever done".... said by the husband in his spirit self as he left his wife behind to move on after his death. Oh yea, that's all I need to be watching right now. As much as I should become a nun, I hope someone can stand in my path and say that very

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! The day started out in the usual way, Ashley's smile and a cup of coffee. The cooking began at 11am. Hayden participated in the potato and apple peeling while the others watched Christmas movies. Callum, on the other hand, was on a roll for nothing noteworthy. His day began with a litany of "I hate you" mom's and "you're stupid and worthless". I cried over the food prep

Here we are at Riverwoods stocking up before the snow.We worked like little hounds, well at least us girls did. It is so amazing how Ashley, at age 3, loves to help. She'd fall down and get right back up, and beg for more pieces of wood in her arms. She'd struggle to the car in excitement. Anna did the same, check out those arms full! The boys however... quite the other story. They messed

What happens when you spend time investing in conversation for the purpose of entertaining someone else's interest in you and the possibility of relationship potential, and it hits a dead end with no warning?

Can you even imagine architecture as weathered as that found in Bruge? Pictures tell a thousand stories if you look closely; this one, a picture of a candle lit sea of chocolate. One of these days you'll find me there, clunking heels on the stone walkways and taking in the shapes and smells of a very far away place.

Ok, at first glance I was disappointed to see Callums testing results for Writing Ability falling below the expected standard. I thought, what is going on here?

Well, though that may be a part of it.... as writing obviously requires more of an effort than it did for me, I looked further at the results of

I'm having a moment of PANIC! I entered my birthday/year on an online form and it automatically recorded my age as being 34! Is that right? I fear I have forgotten how old I am. I've been telling everyone I'm 33, I think, and that my 34th is coming up in December. Am I completely loosing my mind? Oh gosh! Please help me! Tell me it's not true! Am I really 34 already and will soon be 35??????? It

I know I'm stuck in the flower mode these days... actually, it's what I've painted for years aside from the random bird, cat or unsightly old man, whom still, somehow attains a peaceful gaze on his face. I'm trying something new. I'm moving my flowers in on a vast vineyard terrine. I don't know where this is. I've looked on the net to find a worldly place this picture belongs, but haven't yet

I'm thinking it is done.... though it sat while I panned over where it was going. Considering this piece has much to do with a dream in the process of becoming a certain reality.... and inspired, as most of my work is... I can now safely say that dream has become a certain reality; it found a direction, not exactly the direction I'd have liked it to go, but I can trust it was Gods direction and a

A night out.... a planned distraction.... well meaning fun spent with a fabulous friend whom I don't get to see all that often.... was indeed... fabulous! Nothing like a dive club where your heels stick to the floor and 80's music makes you move in strange ways and every song is a sing-along filled with memories. And on the other hand, it was also a distraction from the fact that I am single as

Ashley turns 3! Poor little girl was sick as can be with a fever and scratchy throat... but with the rising sun she managed to make way to her gifts anyway. Her 1st of three parties was celebrated by her choice of birthday candlelight dinner and a cake she proudly helped bake. (Swedish meatballs and all the frills along side). 2nd party was had by her siblings while visiting their father and 3rd

A new one in the works.. just started this evening and an hour into it. I'm going to have to let it sit for awhile as I don't know what direction to take with this one. It has a title unlike so many of my others... "Between a Dream and Tomorrow", of course inspired by someone very special and the changing within when things are not just about us... but something bigger; the state of our souls

"Oh my gosh"....... as Ashbash would say. This is so like Ashley, wearing a little white princess dress, shiny black shoes, and a backpack (of course for when she is a big girl and goes to school), but used as a jet pack today. Look at her go, coasting down the sidewalk on a skateboard! I'm sure that is something I would have done when I was younger... look out world, we're all in trouble.

As you know, I have 4 kids... and when considering living options.. obviously I consider the noise we make.... yes, I contribute. I chose a house. Wow, but what about the noise the neighbors make?! So, here we are in a home, with a pretty safe distance between homes... it'd take two of me side by side with out stretched arms to reach the neighbor. I was up at odd hours the other evening (stuffed

You all remember that story? If not, go back to my archives and read it!!! It's a good belly role and great for the flabby gut. I say so because that story came to mind when enduring the torture of another disgusting son of mine. Let me set it up for you... upon moving in to our new home, the family PC hadn't yet found a proper resting spot, and thus found itself temporarily in my bedroom......

Here is a new piece I painted recently.... whipped it out in a few hours.... Lord, I need patience because I'm NEVER going to make a transition to oils otherwise.OK, I need a title for this one... and post any critiquing comments. I'm not even sure if it is finished yet, but then again, is a painting ever really finished? What do you think, do you like, or NAH, not so much.

Where did she get those locks? I have a lot of hair, though not nearly as fabulous as this mess! When wet and combed out it actually falls to the middle of her back if you can believe that.... What a doll... just thought I'd share.

Alright..... you guys didn't help me out much on the"what color should I paint my living room" pole. Seems 33% offered equally to 3 different colors. Oh well. I went by another method....... it's called "oops". I circled the local hardware stores and collected a variety of oops paint in hopefully tasteful colors...... the living room got the yellow and the chocolate greenish accent above the

I came up with this little line when writing an encouragement to a dear friend. (whom I may go skydiving with someday) .. and I think it's worth pondering... sharing..."The best way to conquer something is to have an attitude that beats that of everyone else's". TCJ

I had a fabulous time out today. Paid a bill... found out I had a huge credit, surprising and wonderful... shared a coffee with a great friend... and dinner out. Did you know people eat kangaroo loins.... and maybe other parts too? Anyway... for those of you with children, you'll appreciate that even a few hours spent talking about anything substantial... even if it is child related, will take

Well, we are here. Last of the beach days. The kids have had a great summer sunning and swimming, and aside from one more tentative day trip to city planned, we're all done.. wrapped up the last of the free time before school starts.Check the 'journeyalbum' to the left for more posted pics of this last little trip!

The sun is hot, it's bold and bright - yet a chill cuts the air. I feel the prickles brush against my skin; a shutter down my spine. Suddenly, an unknown sadness, a foresight longing, a thought of yester-days collide. I worry and I wonder; all's lost in the sun glistening on the Michigan tide. My kids are full of laughter. Nothing seen but the coming waves in their eyes. Chilled to the bone,

Saturday night out at the park. Fun times. We are off to the city for a few fabulous beach days today. I hear the waves are HIGH!! I'll have lots of new photos once we return.... For all you hard workers out there, no need to feel jealousy, school starts soon and I get to go back to work full time after 11 years of raising the kiddies... and still, motherhood remains my main objective. Yea... no

Yea... I can talk on the phone while painting, vacuuming, dish-washing, just about anything really. Somebody buy me a blue-tooth. I can multi-task but I realize it could be a lot easier.Hey, don't forget to check my 'journeyalbum' to the left now again... cause I am always adding new photos... far beyond what I share with you here.

You know, it started rough actually. The morning began HOT.... and in turmoil actually. But I must say, I have some wonderful friends who are really supportive of all that I go through. Or shall I say, all that life takes me through. I'm blessed any way I look at it. Enjoy the pics from our little outing... a rare occasion I actually convinced my boys to tag along.

Saturday morning walk along the river and a pit stop for a coffee.... you know.. I complain that my older kids don't like to attend on such walks, but I tell you what... it was HOT and HARD WORK pushing Ashley back up the hill and it must have been near 90 already.... I should've stayed home too!

The heat is getting to me! The wild is unleashed.... haha, OK, just a bit of goof ball. Actually, I'm a terrible pose and Lara was laughing her butt off trying to teach me a thing or two about how to take a half way decent photo.... Yea.. I know, I need some work...
