I am...


sitting next to the sweetest kitty, who wakes me up super early in the morning by purring in my ear.

updating my calendar for the beginning of the school year, beginning of MSN, weddings, and life in general.

feeling overwhelmed at the amount of conflicts I already have on my calendar for the rest of August.

missing sweet hubby, who left for music camp today, after only seeing him 2.5 days, and all of it jet lagged.

feeling like it is super late, even though it is only 9:24, and thinking that I should be over this jet lag business by now.

wishing that there was a castle I could see from any point of my run.



scared to run in the 100 degree heat, so quickly getting out of shape as I eat cheesecake for supper.

excited to go shopping with my mama and sister tomorrow, and hopeful that I'll find some black shirts appropriate for school, since I shrunk my last one in the dryer yesterday by accident.

happy that roommate is coming to stay with me for a few days while she moved into her new place after her summer adventures.



not looking forward to cleaning the cat hair off of everything sweet hubby missed (particularly the curtains).

delighted that I get to pick up some pictures from my trip and my mama's camera tomorrow to frame for my house and for school.

sad that I'm barely on vacation anymore.

sad that I'm not at the beach.

sad that sweet hubby isn't home.

happy that we are so blessed that we can take vacations, go to the beach, and be home together at all, anytime.

wishing, just wishing, that we had castles here.

While i'm waiting

I thought i'd let you know that the alarm company called my cell phone tonight, around 9:30 pm. I missed the call. Sweet hubby missed the call to his cell phone, too, but my daddy didn't miss his call. My daddy headed over to my house, freshly armed with the alarm code, and the key he normally has on hand. He called back frantic, because the alarm panel didn't have an "off" button like i'd said it would. I asked him if he was looking at the panel by the closet, or the old one. He said, "There's not a panel by the closet." I said, "between the bulletin board and the closet. Don't you see the new panel?" "No. Oh, here it is, on the floor." Ummmmmmm..... Not what I wanted to hear. He made his way into the living room and asked if we had a tv on the dresser between the bookshelves. Ummmmmm, yes. Well, it's not there anymore. Dad, where is Rayen? Go in the bathroom and find her treats, see if she will come get one...

so far away

Linking up to the Gypsy Mama's five minute Friday.... Chile is so far away. My husband's homeland, the place where he most wants to be. His mama is there, his daddy is there, his brothers and cousins and grandmas and the people who mattered most to him for so so so long are there, and we are here. Here in the very different US, with values thrown at us everyday that seem to say that his childhood was inferior and that returning to a life like that would be the most unwise choice. Here, where the only way to get from one place to another is by car. Here, where without a college degree a "real job" is impossible to come by. Here, where being a legal resident costs thousands of dollars, time, and ridiculous interviews where people question whether you are actually married. Distance is what happens when it is time for the holidays, time to remember family traditions, and the people who are still celebrating them, even though he is far away, thrust into the midst of...

i am...

listening to the deluge outside, glad not to be driving in it anymore. being warmed up by a purring kitty on my lap. curious about what sweet hubby meant when he said on the phone " recien vi una persona atropellada por un auto" and i said, "ok, te amo, chau". exhausted by my kids at school, who are so smart that they think they don't need to listen to directions, and then ask a bajillion questions about what they are supposed to do. dressed for yoga, the first exercise I'll do in a week. So much for running three times a week. I did better on vacation. avoiding packing for my cousins wedding on Friday, since it seems like way too much work after writing sub plans for two days and plans for Monday when I get back, and cleaning up the classroom, and trying to remember all the details of our daily routine for someone who doesn't do it every day. hopeful that this month might be the month, but really doubtful at the same time. I'd love to have prayer...
