It's a Saturday and we are all home - under one roof - just like old times. But not for long...
Will post some pics from graduation weekend...it was a perfect time.
This week has been busy getting Peter ready for his London trip (heading to Purdue tomorrow for a week then London for three weeks), getting Emma's Boston apt lined up, etc. She's moving to Boston for a job.
And, all of a sudden, today it's not busy. It's cold outside, laundry is done and ready to be packed and we have no obligations today. Emma and Peter, Ikidyounot, watched Power Rangers for two hours and giggled like they were back in grade school. Chris is napping. Emma made a cake. Nobody wants to get out of their pajamas. I am holding back tears wishing I could freeze time.
xoxo, H.

Cherish
Tragedy is horrible but it makes you think how wonderful our lives are. A 51 year old coworker died on Thursday night after attending her son's Mother/Son event for his graduation from High School. Completely depressing. But, as always, you realize the little things you complain about on a daily basis mean nothing, its a waste of breath.
We all are in it together, just trying to do our best, as you said. I do not pray, but I try not to judge people for who they are. If you are a good person, doing your best, staying out of trouble, I don't care who you are. I wish there wasn't so much hate. xo. k.

Hip hip hooray for May!!!
Spot on regarding the photo of Kate and William...saw that pic too and LOVED it! So classy.
I agree with you on being humbled. People tend to be a bit cocky and over confident, not to mention competitive in their 30's-40's. Later 40's and 50's come and there's much more wisdom that you only learn from experience. Things can change in an instant and by now, we know that. Everyone is just doing their best...that's the bottom line.
Lots to celebrate - Evan's internship with the radio station, Peter's with the Sheriff's Dept. (the jail..omg), Lily's 15th and Emma's graduation this week. We can't wait to visit later this month and celebrate it all!!!! Long overdue! Beyond grateful for it all.
I've learned to pray a lot more over the past few years. I always pray to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. I figure I'm a mom and she is THE mom so the Hail Mary is my personal go-to. I literally fall asleep at night saying it and praying for so much...thanking for the good, asking for strength with the bad and just overall asking for grace every single day. It's made such a difference.
Today is May Day....one of the best days of the year! Everything is well watered and popping up that gorgeous lime green! This week's forecast of SUN will make everything just explode. Honestly, it's such a beautiful time of year!
Have a great week, Sissy! xo, H
