The calm before the storm.




No school duties today. I have worked the last three days, so I am a little tired and eager to get things back in order here at home. I am gonna make an enchilada casserole for dinner and run errands today. We are expected to get "a significant winter blast" tonight, so I always feel the need to buy milk and insure we are prepared. I suppose that is an instinct that comes with being a woman and caregiver.

I am still struggling with what to do next in my career. I am considering going back to school next fall, slowly. I will take one class at a time and end up with my Master's in Elementary Education. I think that is the route I am choosing. I am surprised that Music is not my first choice, right now. I am going to speak with a career counselor at our local college.

My Dad is still in the hospital. We should learn more about his condition and plan of care, today. The good news is, his illness has opened up communication with my family. It's good to know that when things get serious and we need to come together, most of us rise to the occasion.

Here is a big shout out to the Janii. Two years ago today, we became the "Non-catholic God Parents" of Jake and John. We often refer to them as "our boys". We say this partly because they are twins, and partly because we made a commitment to watch over them and guide them in their lives. We love them so very much and we can't wait to see them soon. The above picture is of "our boys".

Here is a thought that I would like to leave you with today.
