Her friend was 3 years younger, 94, and up until the last 4 months, had a full and happy life. Her last 4 months were in serious pain, but let's not dwell on that..<br />
<br />
This friend was a dear bridge playing partner for 10 years - they were partners every Saturday, emailed frequently (yes, emailed), and would play Scrabble online (yes, online) almost every single day, plus talk on the phone until their hearing aids started giving them feedback. Then it was primarily email for non-Saturday conversations.<br />
<br />
Funerals amaze me. I found out how important this person was to a whole bunch of people - and it was real. It was sincere. Funerals of people I have known also amaze me, finding out different sides of them that I never know. We never really know a full person, right? We are all a little different to our people - maybe in our groups we are silly, or quiet, or funny. Maybe with our family we are directive, or rule-oriented, or serious, or the fun one. Maybe with our children we are friends, or firm, or distant. I love the different perspectives of a life.<br />
<br />
Millie, who I never met, lived an extraordinary life. She was born in 1921 and double majored in biology and chemistry, but the family didn't have the money to have her go into medicine, so instead she joined the WAC (Women's Army Corps) and served at Walter Reed as a physical therapist. She raised two daughters, worked part time, served in a serious capacity with the Democrats, read to the blind, did crossword puzzles in ink, forged serious bonds with all four of her grandkids and <i>knew</i> them. Visited them, saw their games and plays and things, emailed with them, texted with them, and apparently wrote "Like" as a comment on their Facebook posts because she didn't quite understand the like button. Her daughters and her four grandchildren all got up and spoke about her, and you could honestly feel the sincerity of how much love she gave, how sassy and curmudgeonly she could be, how smart and interested and <i>alive</i> she was.<br />
<br />
I also got to spend the day with my grandmom, who is 97, and who was sad because she lost someone important to her. She told me all her friends are dead. We talked about how being 97 is a good thing, how she has gotten to know and love so many people, and yes, lose so many, too. It must be hard, though. To have lost so many people important to you.<br />
<br />
I feel honored to have been part of today, to meet this woman through the people who loved her most, to hear how important a life can be, and to appreciate life, today, just a little bit more.<br />
<br />

Honestly, I tend to write in it when I'm VERY annoyed about something, or if something big has happened. So if I am frustrated with Tate and her non-ability-to-hang-her-towel-ness, I will end up writing how thankful I am to HAVE her, and why. It isn't like I plan that, it just feels like I want to write that at those moments. Odd.<br />
<br />
I had a wonky health issue the other day, all is well now, but I was worried. First thing I did when I got home was to write how thankful I am for doctors who give their careers up to help save others. What a noble profession. I think it's easy to get lost in the insurance claims and the short visits, but these are people who are dedicated to making sure people they don't know are okay. I think that's pretty great.<br />
<br />
On other topics, I have been terrible about taking photos of the things I have made recently, for Christmas or just in general. I made coasters for my parents (crochet), a scarf for my mother-in-law which I also did not get a photo of, a shrug for Tate, and a cuttlefish for Smith. I also made little gift card crochet holders which seem to be a big hit, and a future class for the local knit/sew/crochet store. I also made a cute bag that will be a future child class. I am now making birthday presents for my niece and my mom, and a QUILT for ME! I've had this flannel fabric for about 3 years, with the intent of making a quilt. Tate is taking a sewing class my MIL got her for Christmas at this great local store. She's making a pouf (an ottoman, essentially) and it has inspired me to do some sewing. I just need the binding material and the stuff for the insides and I'm ready to go!<br />

Snowy days, warm(ish) house. We've been sledding and keeping warm. So far, the kids have had 3 snow days, and 2 with 2 hour delays. I think I have that right. So 3 days so far that were full and on time. Smith went to school yesterday for 5 minutes before I got him for his orthodontist (!!!) appointment. It was nice to have the house to myself for 30 minutes.</div>

He's getting braces at some point this year, likely April or May. Feels like a big step - another step toward "finishing" him. It feels good. Tate surprised me last night with a long note. I got up to our room to go to bed, and there was a long note about a couple things that are upsetting to her, and I was so <i>thankful</i> that she had written it. I wrote her a long note back, so pleased that she was sharing what was going on in her head and her world.</div>

I've started in on a couple new knitting and crochet projects. I'm now down to my waist on my sweater - if I buckled down and finished it, it would not take me too much longer. I get distracted too easily! But I did sign up for doing another crochet class, this time, boot cuffs! I got a skein of yarn last night at the Finch and started working on them so I can see how much time they take. I also have two projects in the works for my mom and for Cassidy - February and March birthdays!</div>

Tate just started her Christmas present from Grammy - a sewing class at the Finch, creating and sewing a pouf!! She took the first class last night and LOOOOOOOVED it! I think we have a budding sewer. Sew-er, not sewer. Ew. She picked very Tate-like colors. She's doing the class with 3 other girls from her soccer team, and there was definitely a spirit of competition going on in there.</div>

Resolutions seem bigger, although I don't really follow them anyhow.<br />
<br />
I think, maybe with age or cutting myself more slack, that I've gained more perspective into myself. I am a good mom and wife - I know this. I am a good employee, too. I am an okay house-tender, which will simply have to do as I do not want to give more effort into cleaning. David asked me the other day why I hadn't pushed the kids to help me clean the house more instead of ice skating, and I had to answer - I will ALWAYS choose ice skating with the kids over cleaning. Always. I will remember that over having a clean house.<br />
<br />
So. My intentions. My intentions are to honestly stay the course I am on.<br />
* live intentionally<br />
* experience laughter and joy every day, hopefully far outweighing sadness and stress<br />
* enjoy my peeps every day<br />
* listen better (I could use some work on that end!)<br />
* cut myself slack when things are tough and balance is elusive<br />
<br />
I am cutting myself slack on my blog, as I haven't posted since September and am not going to do a giant recap!<br />
<br />Happy 2015 - to living!!<br />

<br />
Saturday - Meeting at a math/science school that Smith is going to apply to. Only 60 kids out of 700 get accepted, so it's a loooong shot, but he is interested so we'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Saturday later - Smith, Grammy and I went to Antietam with my cousin, Steve, to see the reenactment of the battle. The battle actually occurred 152 years ago, September 17. It was a drizzly day that ended up being beautiful with great temperatures, and it was really nice to spend the day with Steve, who is a Civil War EXPERT. We hit a yummy creamery for ice cream on the way home.<br />

Sunday - Taters had a game about 2 hours away. We drove with friends, as Smith and David had a different game that was far away. We won, and it was a pretty day to be outside. Afterwards, the entire team went for ice cream. I love this team! The girls and the parents. Really could not be happier.<br />

Thursday - High school football game, and the 8th grade middle school band was invited to work with the HS marching band. Smith played (I can't remember its real name) a french horn/trumpet, or as he called it, a frumpet. It was a beautiful night!<br />

They do sewing and knitting and have yarn and fabrics. I am so thrilled.<br />
<br />
I made this hat for the class, but it seems they have a lot of people wanting to make hats for their men, so I got some beautiful charcoal gray yarn from Finch to make a "store model". I'm just about done it, but no photos of it yet. Meanwhile, I am keeping this baby for me. Love it.<br />

This beauty is going well. I am so happy with my yarn choice. It's that short sleeve sweater, which was DEFINITELY going to be done by fall so I could wear it, but whatever. Life gets busy. It's a fun project and will look cute in February, too :-)</div>

Now I am on to thinking about what I'm going to make for the holidays! Tara and I have a great plan down, meeting once a week for about an hour to stay "on task" for gifts, knitting/crocheting/having coffee/feeling our pain after a barre class. Good times!</div>

One of our favorite places - Smith Mountain Lake. We did our usuals, Sheetz, lots of jet skiing, paddle boating, lake swimming, hammock dozing, ice cream eating. Brett and Kim came, too, which was really nice - Brett did a bunch of swimming with the kids in the lake, too. Kim and I did some hard-core paddle boating :-).</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My favorite day/time was when the 4 of us took the pontoon boat to the bottom of the mountain, "parked" it, and spent the next 2+ hours eating lunch, jumping in the lake and back onto the boat again and again, and just having a great time. One time, there was a giant horsefly, and David pushed us all out of the way to jump in first. We kept joking that he was the captain, yet out FIRST. Very funny. </div>

It was a great end to a great summer. We came home on Monday of Labor Day, and got ourselves ready for the school year!</div>

These last days of summer. We've met with friends at Shoe's, got a front row view of the 9/11 motorcycle parade (accidentally but a great sight to see!), gone to girl scout camp, soccer tournaments! And more is ahead - peach picking today and Watermelon Park Wednesday. So more pictures :-)</div>

Today, we DID IT!!! We trained some (especially Tate and I did) and decided today was the day to do it. Weather was great - warm and somewhat cloudy with a great breeze. Really proud of our day and our goal met. This was something we wanted to do for the last 3 years but never made the time for it.<br />

I left a day early from the Baltimore meeting and grabbed the kids from my parents house. They typically go with my parents to HHI while we are away, so I hadn't been there in a few years.</div>

This year, though, just the 3 of us drove off to Hilton Head! I think the reason I enjoyed this so much this year is because I always feel like I ignore them during my pre-meeting time. I feel like I got a better handle on it this year (in conjunction with them/Tate being older and easier to deal with during deadlines). Being away with them, and in the car with them for 10 hours, I felt like we got back on track. We had a lot of fun just going to the beach, riding bikes EVERYWHERE, eating at the special places that they love and that I remember from my, now, 33 years going to the Island. Wow.</div>

I had my work meeting in mid-July, and while away, Smith went to a UVA soccer camp, same one as last year. This year, though, it was him and 8 other kids from his team, 1 of whom is one of his best buddies. They had a blast. Our meeting was in Baltimore, so it was close but different enough to feel like we got away. Here are some photos of our early to mid-July.<br />

Big deal for her, and good reward for hard work.<br />
<br />
She also is at her first sleep away at her gymnastics place tonight. Her whole group (wide age-range) gets pizza, free time, movie, sleep on the mats, then donuts in the morning. How fun is that? She is the youngest age group there, with I think her being the absolute youngest kid there. She was nervous going in - is my bag the right size, what are the other girls wearing. She was perfect. Would have been perfect even if her bag was different. I get it, though. She wants to fit in. Sometimes she's happy being the crazy, different one, and sometimes, it's easier to be part of the crowd.<br />

Little glimpses into a bigger girl.<br />

I worry over so many things. My current one is my son. Parenting is hard - he is 13, and this is an emotional age, for boys and girls. He's always been sensitive, feeling, thoughtful - so magnify that with hormones, and it can be <i>something</i>.<br />
<br />
I worry that the things I say, offhand or repetitively, will come to more significance than I intend. My concern about what he eats, what choices he makes in food. Will that cause him to look at himself more critically than he should? My concern over his grades - he should do his best, and I know what his best looks like, but is my concern spilling over to him and causing stress? Probably. But you need that, too. If his best is a "B" then that's fine. But if his best is an "A" but he doesn't get that because he, hypothetically, forgot to turn a bunch of homework in and didn't retake a test, than that is NOT okay. It's not doing his best.<br />
<br />
And I guess the hard part is constantly second guessing yourself to figure out what is the best way to get good things into their heads without causing lifetime damage. You can hope that your <i>intent</i> is what they feel and grasp, but the yelling and frustrations of everyday life seems to send a bigger message sometimes, I fear.<br />
<br />
I hope that the relationship we two have together sustains him while having to make hard decisions as he grows. Peer pressure can be hard. He seems to not be as concerned, thankfully, as I was when I was his age - that can only be a good thing. He sometimes reminds me that he's a boy, and he doesn't feel the things I feel and get concerned over what I do ("mom, I'm a BOY.").<br />
<br />
I realize, after re-reading this, that being concerned with my overall "mom message" likely puts me ahead in the game - but man. This parenting thing is <i>hard</i>!jilly donutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122239197206507098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996303221030641659.post-46302095310698938512014-07-06T07:05:00.000-07:002014-07-06T07:05:00.853-07:00The 5th of JulySo yesterday was fantastic, and today was just as great! My friend Chris and her husband built a beautiful wooden sea kayak. Today was the day to see if it was sea worthy. So all 8 of us went in 1 canoe, 3 "regular" kayaks, and 1 beautiful wooden one. The day was perfect, the company great.<br />
<br />
After the time on the river, we went to a nearby Creamery for ice cream - I got salted caramel pretzel, YUM! Then we rinsed off in our pool, got pizza for dinner, and watched soccer. Really another Best Day!<br />

The temperature was perfect. We spent time with some of our very favorite-est people, saw a parade, watched soccer (Go Brazil!), baked a strawberry cake, had a cookout, watched fireworks, lit our own fireworks, had kid sleepovers. Really, could not have been a better day!<br />

<br />jilly donutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122239197206507098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996303221030641659.post-32930151995341671922014-07-02T04:07:00.000-07:002014-07-02T04:07:07.200-07:00A Goal-y SummerEvery summer (EVERY SUMMER) I make these plans - there was the Theme Summer, where each week was going to be a theme, like dinosaurs, or Egypt or blueberries. The entire week, we would do things related to that theme. I think we got half a week of that in. Another was Meals Around the World, so each week would be a country or area of food, and we would also learn cultural things. Not sure we even did more than a day on that one.<br />
<br />
So this summer? It's the summer of Goals. It's just vague enough to maybe work. Smith is at an age where he needs to set goals for himself and figure out what things in life he wants to work toward. And it can be fun stuff, too - like my goal (every summer) of riding our bikes 10 miles up the bike path, having a picnic, and riding back. My big goal with Goal Summer is to show how to set yourself up to succeed on a goal, like the planning it takes and the bike rides you have to take to make a ride 10 miles away successful.<br />
<br />
Some of their goals are fun things, like going to the zoo two times, geocaching more than once this summer, going to the pool 5-7 times a week. The big one I like so far is they are both doing either a poem or a journal writing each day, 5 days a week, that we can make into a book at the end of summer. (Tate was reading her 2 sentence journal writings from last summer and loved reading them, which is spurring her on to write more this summer.) Another is Tate's juggling plan - this week, she wants to juggle the soccer ball 100 times each day, her idea. Smith's goals are tending toward the "I would like to stay up late each night of summer" variety, but he's taking it seriously some.<br />
<br />
The best part of this plan? I think my goal for success this time around may be met. Every time they come up with something they want to do, it reminds me that it's a Goal Summer, and I can remind them, and it looks like I've been <i>ON THIS</i> all along. And THAT is one of my goals!<br />

And we were close to home, with a 2.5 hour window between their 3rd and 4th game, so we came back to our neighborhood pool! Some of the girls are on her travel team, some are friends from academy before. Six good kids, families, and a lot of fun. They won two and lost two, and had a blast.<br />

I made it for the first time (the jelly) a couple years ago, with our own homegrown habanero pepper, red bell peppers, carrots, and gelatin. Just kidding, we didn't grow gelatin.<br />
<br />
This time, supermarket all the way with the ingredients. And still delicious! I told him he had to make it with me, and we had a great time. Although I noticed he wasn't around for the super sticky part.<br />

Smith and I read "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Adam-Eve-Ezekiel-Retold/dp/0888994907/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1403055673&sr=8-8&keywords=from+ezekiel+to" target="_blank">Stories from Adam and Eve to Ezekiel: Retold from the Bible</a>" and it was a great resource of moral stories that most people know.<br />
<br />
I suggested to the two of them that we go over them again this summer, and Smith protested, saying he remembered a bunch of them already. So I asked about Noah's ark, and Lot's wife, and he said, "Wasn't Lot's wife the one in the town of Gonorrhea, where his wife turned into a pillar of salt?" We about died laughing. He said, Wait, that's an STD. Then we had to tell Tate what was so funny - we made up some town that had a disease of too much gas. She understood then why we were laughing.<br />
<br />
Of course, in true Smith fashion, he then told me more about the story than I remember, so he's off the hook. Kid has some amazing memory.jilly donutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122239197206507098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996303221030641659.post-47895907638662562772014-06-17T18:38:00.003-07:002014-06-17T18:38:56.486-07:00What kind of mom am ITate asked me the other day how I thought I would be as a mom when I was a kid. What kind of mom I would be, would I let my kids eat a bunch of junk food, that kind of thing.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought about it, and said that I thought I wanted to stay home with my kids (I mostly do), be adventurous with trips and things (I mostly am), really talk with them (I mostly do), know their friends and what is going on with their lives (I definitely do). I realized, without having thought about it before, that I've kinda nailed it. A good feeling. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So the next day, I asked her what her thoughts were on what kind of mom she thought she would be. So she said, "pretty much like you. But no arthritis, and I would have a MUCH better job!"</div>

<br />
Yesterday, I went to Tate's school party, ice cream in the pod, going through each classroom to do a fun thing. It was thundering outside, so they had to come up with indoor activities. It was fun! Afterwards, I picked up Smith and two friends from the Middle School, and we all went to Sweet Frog. I love this tradition with friends! We pooled it after that for a bit, before the next storm moved in.<br />
<br />

During the storm, but with no thunder, the kids plus friends jumped on the trampoline and got SOAKED.<br />

Today was a benefit 1mile run for Team Mathias - a boy we know who is battling osteosarcoma. Today is his 13th birthday. Tate and her friend ran the run, got balloon animals, shivered in the cool windy air.<br />

Afterwards, Tate and I went to see some condos for my mother-in-law, who we hope will be moving here towards the end of July. Tate's highlight, for sure, was the golf cart we rode around in! She also loved the units, and I think is very excited for Grammy to live nearby.<br />

Day one of break hasn't been so bad, but I tell you - these kids better start picking up after themselves. If today is any indication, none of the three of us are going to be too happy going forward. Lounging about but left dirty napkins on the table? Get in the kitchen. Now. Left your sweatshirt on the table? Now. Empty box of tissues? RECYCLE. Mama ain't going for this. I imagine my harping on them will turn this around rather quickly.jilly donutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122239197206507098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996303221030641659.post-79783550214605914832014-06-09T19:26:00.002-07:002014-06-09T19:26:14.027-07:00Crocheted XBox controllers and pretty purple cardigansSmith just had his birthday, and I was a bit late on his "homemade" present, but it's done!

Look at those LEGS! Oh my, the squish of this kid.</div>

This weekend, we did our 2nd annual trip to Williamsburg so Smith and my brother could run the Run for the Dream 8k, then off to Busch Gardens. It was a great day, except I missed him coming into the stadium AGAIN. It seems to be my thing. Sorry, buddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He beat his time last year by 5 minutes - without training! So awesome, I am so proud! Running is not my thing, but I'm glad he enjoys it and gets something out of it. The park was fun! The kids did Apollo's Chariot 5 times. We did it with them 3 times. It was Tate's first year of being tall enough. David was really pukey - he had two Monster drinks and a soft pretzel before the rides, and almost lost it - even on the water raft ride! The kids were terrified of him getting sick, more than any fear of any ride! Very funny.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Smith's actual birthday was the day we drove home - we hit IHOP, then the road. Williamsburg has IHOP, National House of Pancakes, and Astronomical House of Pancakes. Definitely a sense of humor. We rounded out the day with XBox time for him, and Cold Stone for dessert. It was a good day. </div>
