Completely absorbed...

I've been completely absorbed lately.
It has something to do with this book...


When I asked the librarian to help me find it, she thought I misspoke and corrected me with, 'these ARE my words.' It was kind of awkward.

I can't put this book down. When doing other things around the house I wonder what will happen next.
When I am engrossed in a good book then that book becomes my absolute favorite.
And "These is my Words" is my current favorite.
Another book that has consumed me lately is...


Kate loves to read, too. 
Her book of choice lately is one we've been reading again and again and again...


She bought it with her birthday and Christmas money. She was so proud of herself.

Miss Claudia likes to read books too but she is more interested in reading by herself.
She's a very independent, sometimes stubborn, child. I wonder who she gets that from.
It couldn't be me! :)

Sarah, I loved The Help and got totally obsessed with finishing it. Have you read Room? That is the other book got me obsessed lately. It's unlike anything I have ever read. Super engaging and though provoking! Happy reading!

To be brave...

Image
At the young age of 14, our oldest daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Glioblastoma is not a cancer with stages. It is only stage four; that's how deadly and impossible it is to heal from. When the pediatric oncologist sat herself onto Kate's hospital bed to share the awful news, Kate simply and stone-faced asked if she was going to die. "Do nothing and yes, you will." Kate's diagnosis and she shed no tears. Whereas I had minutes ago been sobbing into my husbands chest wishing I could die instead.  Kate was fortunate(?) to live two and a half more years. Two and a half years without hair, without pursuing her dreams, without...a lot. She bravely and boldly walked into the high school any chance her body would allow wholly different and beyond recognition from the girl she once was. Two and a half years after diagnosis on a chilly November 21st, I read the MRI report minutes before we were to meet with her oncologist. The report was damning. Seated n...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...
