So I finally finished our 2008 family album last week and started on 2009, only to find that we hadn’t done very much momentous. Since I haven’t been blogging here much, I turned to Facebook to try to glean some clues… only to find that I can’t pull up any status updates older than a month. All those little “Peony is…” moments — gone! Facebook, you have eaten my year and that just will not do. Back to the Moss Place, where I know where my archives are (or know whom to ask…….)
A few snapshots:
- It was around this day, forty years ago, that forty-six chromosomes and a human soul came together to become… me.
- Forty years! When did that happen?!
- Hambet is crazy about airplanes and toy soldiers, received his First Holy Communion in May, and is starting the third grade in two weeks. Truly, life comes at you fast.
- When I sit down to organize my life, I think of it in four categories: Wife/Mom/Household COO; church lady/ volunteer; part-time job #1; part-time job #2.
- Might as well add a new category: “appalled citizen.” How did that annoying bumper sticker go — “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention”?
- Hmmm. Perhaps I would do well to dedicate a sixth life category for prayer life.
- Current focus of civic horror: the train wreck health-care “reform.”
