I am not exactly sure why Tim Russert’s death has effected me so much. I didn’t know him. I hardly watched Meet the Press when it was on Sunday morning. I did look forward to his run downs on The Today Show and Nightly News. I read his book when it came out a few [...]

The Big Library

Today we went to the library downtown, known in our house as “The Big Library.” We have one up the street from us that we will bike to on occasion. Personally, I love doing that. It is something I dreamed about being able to do as a child. Ride my bike and get books at [...]

Yesterday was Tuesday which is becoming one of my favorite days of the week. We have a local farmer’s market that started last year at the county extension property which is a bike ride away from our house. Local farmer’s sell their wares and it makes me feel like a part of a community I [...]

I didn’t want to work out tonight. Well I did but when it came time to go I was so close to saying forget it. However I have a wonderful husband who said he would put the boys to bed for me so I could go and that even if I am tired I would [...]

We took B and J to a movie this afternoon. We had a late afternoon thunderstorm which closed our neighborhood pool. Don’t we sound so suburban? Except no one joins our pool for various reasons, mostly the fact that the infrastructure is over thirty years old and showing its age. It makes me feel old since [...]
My American Summer

We had a nice weekend. We had friends over for dinner on Saturday night and had a blast. We are so lucky that we have such nice friends. It makes life so much easier to go through when you have nice people around you. Our priest was back from his vacation today. We go [...]

I got to hold a baby today. It is amazing how your arms never forget the feel of a small person. T had inservice today and I got to babysit one of his co-workers two children. I watched her eldest last year so B and J had fun catching up with an “old” friend. [...]
Hello Old Friends!

I took the boys to the Y this morning for B’s swimming lessons. J went to KidWatch by himself. Trying to hold him and pay attention to B by the side of a pool is near impossible, even if it is just 1/2 hour, J is miserable not moving and I am miserable trying to [...]
Night Running

I went running tonight by myself. My I-Pod wasn’t charged and I don’t like not being able to hear what is coming at me in the dark with it in, so it was okay. As I walked down the street to the lake, I could hear summer in the air. There are certain sounds [...]
Well, THIS boy doesn’t!

T forgot something for school today so we jumped in the car this morning and headed to “Daddy’s School” first thing this morning. Caused some confusion as to why they were in their PJs and in the car at the same time. Luckily I promised to make pancakes so all worked out fine in the [...]
