until I kick Jack in the fingers.
Jack is on spring break this week. We dropped Wy off a the sitters, ran some errands and headed home for a bit before I had to go in for rehearsals. While we were home, Jack asked if we could play soccer in the back yard. I consented to play soccer even though I was wearing high heeled boots.
Things I don't understand about soccer:
1. Every time I scored a goal, I would earn 1 point but Jack would earn 2 points. If Jack scored a goal, he would earn 1 point but I didn't earn any points.
2. My goal kept changing sides. We started the game with my goal on the West fence and Jack's on the East fence. As I would approach MY goal with the ball, Jack would suddenly yell that it was not my goal.
3. I also didn't know it was fair for a player to suddenly throw their whole body on top of the ball to keep their opponent from making a kick at the ball. (This is how I wound up kicking Jack in the fingers - it was an accident as he dropped to the dirt just as I kicked, but I still bashed his fingers pretty good.)

This started as a weekly e-mail to keep my out of state family in touch with my kids. It has evolved into a blog for family and friends about my family's trials, tribulations and my various inner monologues...

A Return to Love by Marianne Wiliamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
The Singing Fire by Lilian Nattel
"It isn't true that a mother is born with her child. It may happen sometimes by an act of grace, but most often a mother is made as she struggles with her need for sleep and freedom of movement, over and over choosing to hold and feed and wrap a loudly wailing, soft-skinned being that produces marvelously pungent odors."
Le Petite Prince: Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
