WITL Day 7 - Sunday




I sleep a little later this morning (it is Mother's Day after all) hitting the snooze until 5:30.  I head downstairs for coffee and use the morning quiet time to prep for this morning's RCIA class.  Luke and I have been attending Sunday morning RCIA classes since December, and although he officially became Catholic back in April, we still have a few classes to finish up. 


That means Sunday mornings are anything but leisurely.  We make sure the kids are up, eat breakfast, dressed for church and hair done before we leave a little before 8.  When class is over at 9:45 I run home, grab the kids and get back for 10:00 Mass.


For Mother's Day after church I decide that I want donuts, so we swing into Casey's on the way home and pick up a box.  After we eat I open my Mother's Day gifts which include new headphones and the gifts the kids made for me at school. After lunch brunch donuts I head to town to finish the errands I didn't get done yesterday.  After I complete my Target list I swing into Lowes to look for flowers.  No luck.  I generally have something pretty specific in mind as far as porch flowers go, and usually have trouble finding enough bright colors thrown together in one arrangement.  It looks like I will be creating my own again this year.


I get home around 2.  Luke and the kids are at Cora's softball practice, so I grab Georgia and walk her up there.  Beau and Sylvie hit some balls while Cora practices and then Sylvie joins Georgia and I for the walk home.

Back at home Beau and Luke are watching the History channel and Cora is playing on her tablet.  Around 4 I finish up the ribs that are cooking in the crock pot and make some cornbread to go with.


We eat supper about 6 and the girls head up to shower afterward.  It's nice to have a night at home so we aren't rushing to get showers done and straight to bed.  The girls come back downstairs and we all watch part of Tomorrowland until bedtime.  At 8:00 the kids and I head upstairs for stories.  I head to bed around 9 to read, and have lights out by 9:30.

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday.  At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up.  She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead.  The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down.  The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families.  It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day.  As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week.  I'm ...

Life Right Now - November 2025

 Right now Beau is a senior and has a schedule that has him home most of the afternoon.  He is currently between jobs.  He worked at Hartmann Lawn Care for the summer and fall, and is re-starting at Fleet Farm this week (today, actually).  He worked there throughout the school year last year too, and they hired him back for this year. Right now Cora is a sophomore and just finished up her school volleyball season.  She played middle hitter for the JV team this year, and then was moved up to Varsity for sections and state.  She got to spend a week up in the Cities with the team, and they ended up placing 3rd.  She will play for the 17s team for JO this winter.  Practices for that will start after Thanksgiving, with tournaments starting in January.  She will be doing an off season workout program through the school this winter until softball practices start up in early spring. Right now Sylvie is in 7th grade and starting her first year of sch...
