Gratitude for Tuesday, Oct. 20. 2009
*an amazingly beautiful day - a respite from the unseasonably cold weather we've had lately. I opened the windows when we got home - even though it was almost 6 o'clock - and aired out the house. We kept the doors and windows open all evening. It was so soothing to make dinner to the sound of cicadas out the back door again.
*after dinner, I made a from-scratch apple&cranberry spice cake, using the apples that L and I picked at the orchard last weekend. I love the domesticity of baking from scratch like that, it feels so old-fashioned to me to stand in the kitchen, chopping and peeling, sort of a connection to my ancestors, I guess. Anyhow, while it baked, L and I went for a walk all over town. I treasure that time walking with her, her comfortability in holding my hand while we walk - I know those days are probably numbered, and I revel in her open communication with me, her desire to share and question and analyze with me.
*it is thundering outside right now - 10:50 p.m. While L intensely dislikes thunder, I love it when I know it isn't a potential sidekick to a tornado. So in this season, it seems charming to me, but fleeting - it seems like the time between tornado season and snow season is so short.
*L hugging me tight when I tuck her into bed and saying "I love, love, love you" - what a perfect expression from my kiddo today.
* saying prayers with L as I tuck her into bed. We have said the same prayer for so long in tandem that our inflections match, and we say them in exact unison. I try hard to stay in the moment during my time with her, but I can also recognize how sweet it is for me to hear her little voice, saying the prayer in the exact same way that I do.
*This day is one of those days when I feel especially blessed, surrounded by God's richness. A family that brings me peace and joy, traditions that I love, the blessings of having all of our basic needs met AND gorgeous weather on top of all of that.

Gratitude 10/16/09
Gratitude for this week:
-No school yesterday, so we spent the day with my sister and her kiddos, who also had no school. We went to an apple orchard near Whitewater and let our kiddos pick their own apples for the first time! It was so fun to watch them pick and nibble - my sister's youngest is 1, and INSISTED on eating her way THROUGH an entire apple, through the center and all!
In the evening, L and I made apple crisp from those apples, working side by side in the kitchen. A good experience for me on so many levels - I loved building that connection for her that the farmer grows these apples and makes his living by selling them, we pick them, and then we make them into our food. And I loved working with her in the kitchen - she is getting so big and I love that feeling of passing on the skills that I have, that she will hopefully also use in her future.
-We have made it through another day and night HEALTHY. It hasn't hit us yet, although people around us are dropping like flies and I assume that it is just a matter of time. One of L's good friends that she plays with every day after school is sick, and the kids that she plays with at PTO and library meetings, and I work in "the cesspool" of germs...it's probably just a matter of time, but I'm enjoying every healthy day God gives us. I have a HUGE unreasonable puking phobia, so if we can just avoid that...
-Today's the day that L and I are going to try making zwiebach again. We tried last weekend for the first time, and it was a miserable failure. I learned afterward that I didn't let the milk cool enough and the heat killed the yeast. The zwiebach were like weapons to throw at your enemies' heads - terrible little round bricks. Stuart ate one anyhow, bless him, insisting for the first couple of bites that they "aren't THAT bad"...what a good guy. I called his mom to tell her thanks for instilling such good manners, because they were appalling. :) However, we're going to give it another go today, armed with increased yeast and temperature knowledge!

Gratitude 9/16/09
Today I am feeling grateful for:
*the health that my family and I are blessed with. Teeth problems are not significant when compared with the cancer that so many people in my social circle are struggling with.
*living in a small town, where people are supportive of our schools and library. I'm excited about the growth of our story hour, library, technology in our schools, etc and proud that our little town wants to support these things.

Gratitude 9/9/09
It's been a while since I've taken the time to blog -my routine has been scattered (to say the least) since school started back up. Today I am grateful for:
*my relationship with my daughter. I've made a determined effort the past couple of days to relish in-the-moment time with her, to make the most of our evenings, to really listen, and it has been very rewarding. She has such a sensitive soul and a creative mind - I love to hear how she is thinking about and processing everything around her. Tonight she wrote a story, then dressed up as her main character, acted out the story and had me take photos of key points, loaded the photos onto VoiceThread, and then she narrated her story on the "slides" on VoiceThread so that she could share her story with other people we know. I'm pretty sure that my mind didn't work like that when I was her age!
*the joy I find in organizing - I may not do it terribly effectively or frequently, but it just makes me feel good to sort through boxes or cupboards and organize my "stuff". The impending change from summer to fall wardrobe is always a doozy when it comes to organizing our closets.
*the State Fair. I don't know why I enjoy it so much - maybe it's mostly in the abstract, being more fond of something when it is not a part of my daily life, but rather more like a fond fuzzy memory. I love the IDEA of the State Fair, and the opportunity to show L things we wouldn't otherwise see on a daily basis. I could, given a more generous income, go to the Fair every day it is here and just meander around in the afternoons. However, I am not willing to pay $8/day or whatever outrageous price it is currently. So we'll go a couple of times and buy flavored honey spread and warm spiced nuts and maybe some Crocs. And ride on the carousel and assorted other slightly-frighteningly-temporary, don't-think-about-the-safety-regulations rides. And spend an excruciating amount of time in the animal barns. And apparently, ride the SkyChair this year (which is my phobia, in case you didn't know. I intensely dislike ski lifts, but L and Stuart love them. And I feel compelled to ride with them because the idea of them falling and dying without me is more frightening than the idea of just riding along with them. My rational mind knows that isn't sensible, but I just can't get over it. Stuart frequently points out that if you feel from a chair lift, into the snow, you probably wouldn't die - but so far we have never ridden one over snow, only in the summer over bare ground. At least the one at the Fair is not as high up as traditional ones.)

Gratitude 7/31/09
Today I am grateful for:
*the smell of baking bread. L and her friend who is over visiting and I made banana bread, and the smell is filling our house. Yum!
*real fruit popsicles - strawberry is the flavor of the day.
*flip flops. I love wearing flip flops and would wear them year-round if Kansas weather would permit.
*Unseasonably gorgeous summer weather. For some incomprehensible reason, the weather the past few days has topped out around 80 degrees - lows down to 60 at night! It's been such a blessing to open the windows and spend comfortable time outside!

Gratitude 7/27/09
Today I am grateful for:
*evening walks with my daughter. Tonight we spent the entire walk discussing the possibility of life on other planets, and the scientific views about that versus the religious views about that. I love having uninterrupted time devoted solely to exploring interesting topics.
*bats - we've seen them flying around the past few nights on our walks. They are L's favorite animal, so she is THRILLED beyond belief.
*having playdates for L - it is such a productive time for me. It forces me to clean my house - I'm always in need of motivation in order for that to happen. And then once the playmate is here, it is still more productive for me, since I am no longer L's playmate, and can focus on chores or homework or cooking, etc. Today I cleaned my house, make rice krispie treats, worked on my scrapbook a bit, and finished a book that I wanted to be able to talk to my class about when school starts. More than my typical lazy summer day lately, that's for sure!

Today I am grateful for:
*friends who have seen what I looked like in high school and are my friends anyhow
*living so close to my job - it's so nice to be able to put in a few hours at a time during the summer as I work towards getting my classroom ready
*my in-laws, who are amazing people, fabulous grandparents and thoughtful role models in every interaction I have with them. I thank God for the relationship that Lauren has with them, and anticipate what a blessing that will be for her in the future, too (I'm thinking the "my parents don't know anything" teenage years) As we left their house today, Lauren was laughing and laughing in the backseat at Grandpa, who was prancing around the flower beds in the front yard, pretending to be Lauren wearing the new dress Grandma had just made her, holding his overalls out like they were a skirt and dancing around!

Gratitude 7/3/09
Today I am grateful for:
*the relationship I have with my husband. After almost 10 years of being married, there is still no one else I would rather spend time with. I love his sense of humor, his moral compass, his sense of community and family.
*living in a community that rallies to support a local family in crisis. Working at the Fire/EMS fireworks stand today to benefit the Ledbetter family, we saw a steady stream of community members coming in to support Charlie's family.
*drives in the countryside. The perfect way to wind down our day today.

Today I am grateful for:
*my sister and her children. We spent the day together today, and it reminds me of how blessed we are to have such a close relationship - to truly be friends as well as sisters.
*the amazing variety of colors available in plants - we spent the day at the Botanica Gardens and I was stunned at the wide variety of flowers - things I had never seen before, had no idea could grow in Kansas, etc. I particularly enjoyed the water lilies and the Butterfly Gardens. Gorgeous!
*the joy of walking with my daughter and dog. One of the simple pleasures in life -to take an evening stroll with someone you love and be able to have meandering conversations about whatever comes to mind. These are some of my favorite times with L.

Knowing What You Want
I've had a revelation recently regarding what you think you want, and how that can change over time. For years, I've thought that I had a specific desire that seemed as if it weren't going to happen, something that is not entirely in my control, something that for years I have dearly wished for. But in the past week, I believed it was finally happening. And I realized that I was pretty sure I didn't want it any more...I had not examined my desire in quite some time, and as it turns out, I think I have moved past it. It isn't that I didn't want it simply because it was happening - not a case of always wanting the unattainable. It is that I used to want it with my whole heart, but that my life has changed and I am now in a place where I am more content with whatever happens. I have spent so long wanting this particular event that it became more a habit than a true desire. I am so surprised by this turn of events - I would never have predicted it, even a week ago. And it has given me such a measure of peace - as if I can let this go - if it happens, fabulous, and if it doesn't happen, also fabulous. What a blessing.

Things I am grateful for today:
*a window AC just loud enough to mostly mask the incessant popping sounds from small fireworks, which will be the soundtrack of my life for the next 5 days.
*digital cameras that allow you to see your images immediately
*my daughter, who when she sees scary movies, runs to another room to hide and asks me to change the channel - too scary to change it herself!

Funny Comments
L's two funny comments yesterday:
1. Stuart had joined us outside, where L was splashing in the wading pool. He said, "It sure is warm out here in the sun", to which L replied, "That's because it is a big ball of FIRE." So deadpan. When did she learn that?
2. In the car on the way home from Bogey's, we were talking about our dog chasing another dog off of our yard the other day. The other dog was pretty big, so we were impressed that our dog could do that. I said, "That's because she's tough" and L replied "GIRL POWER!"
Cracks me up!

Things I am grateful for today:
*cousins, and having friendships with them. I love to watch L play with her cousins, and I love how excited she is at the prospect of having them over to play. I remember how much I always loved to play with Adam & Aaron, my favorite cousins, and I am glad that L has that same experience in her life.
*my husband's willingness to listen while I complain about something petty/annoying that is totally irrelevant to his life. Like therapy, but cheaper (and undoubtedly more annoying for him - truly a sign that he loves me!)
*crispy grapes (as opposed to soggy grapes - ugh) for a bedtime snack

Girls Days
One of L's requests during Christmas vacation was to have some "Girls Days". She made a list of about 10 things that she would like to do - paint ceramics, go to the art museum, go to Exploration Place, go roller skating, get a manicure together, etc. We only got a couple of those things done during vacation, thanks to the stomach flu and a pretty aggressive cold, but we had so much fun on our Girls Days! We went to McPherson to a store called Joyful Creations. We've been there before on a previous Girls Day with Grandma to make bracelets. On this day, we each picked a piece of unfinished pottery to paint. We then left them at the store and we will go back in a week and pick them up. L can hardly wait -she asks every day when we are going to go get them! L chose to paint a puppy, which she then realized was actually a piggy bank! She chose to use the store's special tools to make polka dots, which was a test of her patience, but wound up being so cute!
On our other Girls Day, we went to Wichita to the art museum, where we had never gone before. We met my sister and her kids there. They have an amazing kids hands-on exploration room, and some mind-blowing glass artwork in their ceilings. We had a really good time, and L and I would like to go back some time and explore some more - it's hard for the younger cousins to be patient in the quiet, hands-off museum!
It was so much fun exploring new things with L - I'm going to start scheduling a special day at least once a month to explore something new with L - she is so curious!

Christmas gatherings
My family had our last Christmas gathering of the season yesterday. It was a day of many breaks with tradition ...a bittersweet gathering. For the first time ever, we did not have our gathering at my mother's house. She is in the middle of an unpleasant divorce, and her husband is still frequently at her house, so we were uncomfortable gathering there. My sister has a beautiful home with enough room for us to comfortably gather there, so my mother, brother, and my family drove to my sister's home an hour away to celebrate. Also, my youngest sister chose not to join us, another awkward difference this year. I think that she is leery of being ambushed by us, in regards to her disrespectful choices lately, and so she chose not to attend. So all in all, it was a day that was rather bittersweet - I love spending time with my family, especially my sister and his clan, who I don't get to see often. But it's hard to make those changes that have been caused by unpleasant events.
I had a wonderful Facebook conversation with my dad the other day, in regards to helping the young people in your life make good choices. It would be so nice if I could just suck my life experiences out of my head and stick it into K's head - I know that if I try to talk to her about it, she won't actually listen to me. But it is so hard to watch her make self destructive choices, and just sit back and allow it to happen. I wish that there was an easy formula for knowing at what point to force my involvement, even against her wishes. I know that her choices are things that she is going to regret later in her life, and I wish that she didn't have to go through them now. I have distinct memories of my dad saying something very similar to me while I was in college, and of responding with a very mature eye roll and a total lack of understanding, or even attempt at understanding.
I have a hard time knowing how much of the family situation to allow L to hear about. I don't want to burden her with undue stress - I had enough of that at her age, and I know how it can impact a kiddo's personality. But I am also hoping that if she hears a bit of it, that maybe someday K's choices will help L not make the same mistakes. She IDOLIZES K, and I hope that maybe by hearing about how much anguish K is causing other people, she will make the connection and carry that impact with her to influence her own choices some day.
