Time Marches On

Even though it's the weekend, I am just now finding time to write here. I look forward to writing, which surprised me, because I have found that I am much more candid and open about my thoughts in writing as opposed to speaking. I think many people are like that.
I have lots to report, well maybe not lots, but some.

First, Th started playing "Blastball" through our community league here in town and had his first game on Saturday. He was very good, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom. He played soccer through the same league last fall and he just isn't aggressive enough to be considered a good soccer player. He dribbles very well and can kick great, but getting the ball is a whole different story. Anyway, in this form of T-ball, he is good at batting, fielding, and running to the base. I think we have found his sport, and that excites me! He loves sports and I want him to not only enjoy playing them, but be good at them, too.

The second piece of news I received is that one of my friends will be moving to Utah this summer. I have a lot in common with her (3 kids, both of us going back to school to finish our degrees) and she is probably one of the funniest women I know. She has kept my kids for me on occasion while I was at school or running errands. Her youngest son and Th were in the same preschool class last year. I will miss her dearly and have this to offer her: “If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!” - Ecclesiastes 4:10 Thank you, M.B., for being my friend. I pray the Lord will lead you wherever you may be.

Thursday Thirteen #4

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 places I have been or would like to go. . . 1. Santiago, Chile, South America This was my first trip when I was in the military. It was awesome! 2. Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. Traveled here with the military. I had a great time, although I only stayed for a few nights. It was too cold to swim in the ocean but it was nice to see the beach. 3. Palermo, Sicily, Europe This is my family's roots. My great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Palermo, and it was so awesome to be able to share in my heritage. I traveled here while in the military, and I loved every bit of this country. Mt. Etna is also located in Sicily, and on several occasions (I've been to Sicily several times), Mt. Etna was erupting. It was majestic to see, especially at night. Too many highlights to say what my favorite part of this country was, but the memories I hold will definitely last a lifetime. 4. Rota, Spain, Europe Again, traveled here with the military....

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t...
