Monday Musings

1. It's Monday, and I'm actually glad to be back in the routine of things.  I had a pretty rotten attitude all weekend, and I think a return to normalcy is just what I needed....that and a good, solid quiet time.

2. Please don't think my poor attitude (mentioned above) is an indication of a productive weekend.  I didn't do a single thing to the house or to prepare for Ellie...other than shop.  But that counts, right?

3. What did a I buy, you ask.  Well, lots of girlie winter clothes for next year. Oh, I can't forget that I scored this year's Easter Dress too. 

4. I could lie and tell you that I'll post pictures, but we all know that's not true. You'll just have to wait to and see. 

5. I know you're dying to know my opinion on Miss America...ok, you're not but I'm  going to tell you anyway.  I didn't love the winner, I thought talent was a little rough, and poor Miss Iowa totally messed up the majauna question. To quote: "I think majauana should be used for recreation puporses only."  HAHAHA!  I know what she meant, but I still had to laugh.  Maybe because I say stupid things on tv pretty much every day of my life.

6.  One more thing.  The 20/20 Special before the pageant was AWESOME.  I thought it was dead on the realities of the pageant world!

7. Speaking of realities, Mondays come with a big dose of them...alarms that sound too early, dogs that puke in their cages while you sleep, 100 + emails to address...sigh!!

8. This means I'm going to have to cut this short.  I'm getting ready to record the weekend show before I leave the station.

9. Don't think my day stops there.  Next I'm headed to the gym, then home to clean, cook, and do laundry before we take Eli to the Big Brother Class at the hospital tonight.

10. Speaking of Eli?  How did I make it to No. 9 on this list before even mentioning him...poor kid.  Actually, lucky kid!  He had a great weekend to make up for the last one.  I'll post more on that soon.

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
