Random Tidbits

This past Thursday I left the 3 little Indians in the care of their daddy to go here to attend one of these. While I was waiting for my friend, Jeanne, to meet me at my neighborhood entrance, I had the rare opportunity to have some quiet time while enjoying my backyard view. Heavenly. Even in the overcast light.


As usual, the weekend was an amazing spiritual experience...even after having served on this type of retreat 6 different times. If you're interested...there's a ladies Walk in July. I'll be there. Just in case you want to see a familiar face. We would love to have you. You won't be sorry you went. Cross my heart.

And, if you think this kind of retreat is nothing but deep soul-searching and praying, well, you're mostly right. The rest of the time I spent cracking up to the point of crying (and nearly wetting my pants). Girlfriends, you know who you are. And, I value your friend Chip more than you know (inside joke).

On Thursday night (the same day I left)...Priya begged Daddy to pull her first loose tooth out. Daddy had strict instructions to take pictures and "tell" the tooth fairy where to leave the money if it were to happen. Daddy got an A+ for his efforts.

While Mommy is away...Daddy will still find a way to watch the Spurs on T.V. This is how he enticed the 3 little Indians to join him in cheering for our home town team.


Randomness from today:

*I witnessed a car accident just minutes after it happened. I passed by the wreck and spotted the trapped person inside the upside-down car. Another person was hysterical by the passenger side. My heart sank and I shed a few tears. I circled around and was preparing myself to offer what nursing knowledge I could, but 3 fire engines and an EMS truck arrived before me. I drove on and offered up a prayer instead.

*I listened to a lady actually belly-laugh really LOUDLY (multiple times) in Walgreens while reading the "funny" cards in the greeting card section. It made me go find which cards she found so hilarious. Oh, yeah. I found 'em.

*I am currently listening to my children crack themselves up in Priya's room...and Deven just told his baby brother that he will always take care of him. Ok. I must be doing SOMETHING right.


I am leaving town this weekend to go on my first ever girls weekend away with my BFF's from high school. I am basically living week to week...something going on every single weekend through June. Eek. But. It will get done. And, I've learned I need to scale down. And, say no. The summer will be a time to regroup, swim, swim some more, and RELAX. I promise.

Remind me of that when I blog in July and tell you how my summer has gotten out of control.
