on Nat and 2 parties
So sorry Nat is sick. Yucky when kids don't feel well. Smoothing hair back and being there for them doesn't feel like enough sometimes. Hope she's better soon & that no one else gets it. Does this mean we're on for the 24th? I might not be able to come if I'm doing VBS. I'm going to see if they need helpers. If I'm not truly needed, I'm not going.
The 32-yr anniversary party was GRAND! That the jerseys sported that number and all the guests in attendance were people who dearly care for you--good stuff. Your kids DO know how to throw a party! Thanked Annied for the invite--she is something else!
Glenice & Rosie, are you still unable to post anything? Glenice, did you get your gmail address to work?
Thank you SO MUCH for coming to Ryan's party (or for wanting to)! That meant a lot, and we all really appreciated it. Wish we would've taken a picture with all of us in it, but I have these:
Love you guys!
XO, ~c.

Are we on?
I've heard from all of you except Rosie. Mae is available after 1 pm and she said to drop in anytime. I would like all of us to be with her, at least a few minutes. Don't know the other plans yet. I'll think of them today.
Cyndi--- bring Jylie here to be with the kids. That would be great. Can Ryan show up, too? That would be even better, at least for Bryan, hehe.
Keep checking this site for further instructions in the adventures of the YAYAs

My Birthday
It's my birthday again in a few days. I haven't planned on anything big and someone asked me, why not? I guess I just don't want it about me again. I want more space between last year when it was a biggy until the next one. Yet, I am warming up to the idea of a party. Party? Did you say PARTY?
Well, one party I for sure want to schedule is the one on the 17th. That date has been on Cheryl's calendar so we need to use it. I was thinking of going to Mae's, and I haven't contacted her yet, so it's not final. I don't know what exactly after that, but I'm still thinking about it. Just spending time with all of you will be great. I really want a YaYa sequel and do that again...
Please contact me so we can arrange our meeting time and place. Oh yeah, do you know this is acutally an invite to my birthday party with the yayas. Yeah.

Post Pardon-Me Blues
Today, I wrote down all the feelings I am experiencing regarding the numerous interactions I have had with others in the past few days. The intent was to help me indentify this feeling of being in the "funk" I am currrently in. The obvious explanantion is due to the after-effects of coming off the high of Halley's wedding. The easiest way to describe it is similar to the depression like feelings after having a baby, called baby blues.
Checking on the web for the correct term, this statement popped out. "Two out of three mothers undergo the "baby blues," a feeling of let down after the emotional experience of childbirth. (postpartum.net/)."
Somehow, Halley's wedding has put me in this same type of feeling, and when you think of it, it has been like childbirth, mine anyway. Her birth was my first successful homebirth. We prepared for months, and prayed continually to do it at home- since the first attempt with Becki resulted in a transport to the hospital. Halley again, has put me in a position of a first although she is second born. This was my first wedding where I was very active partnering with her in the birth of her new life; separate from me, both utilizing our uniqueness and cooperation because of our closeness, but again, cutting the cord. This reminds me what my mom said in her poem:
My days with you are over,
I have to live this fact.
The LORD told me "Let go of them,
It's time to take them back.
He placed you in my body,
My part a mother's role,
Allowed to labor for your birth
But He gave you a soul.
You were never mine to own,
Just borrowed for a time,
Branches stemming from the tree,
attached to Chrst, the vine.
So the excitement is over of probably the most significant earthly event between birth and death for my girl. My part a mother's role is done -or at least changed as we now say- to alleviate feelings of being displaced. I will be turning the page momentarily but before I go-pardon me- as I breathe in the memories of Halley's life and breathe out the quick love affair between me and my second born and release her to another.
I am grateful to look forward to new chapters that Halley and Koby write but a bit timid due to the fact I am not orchestrating any of it. I never like suspense but I do trust that their Father is watching over them. And I am ready to power up to release another, this time Chels.
So if I appear to be a little out of sorts, now you know why and so do I. It's apprapro to hear her dancing song at the moment, "I need to practice my dancin, so please daddy please, all too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone."
