Breaking the News

Olivia is very determined to play “Pastor.”

Yesterday it was warm enough to go outside, so when Olivia found mud puddle I was so elated to be in the sun I didn’t care if it meant an extra bath. Liv found many uses for the puddle. She painted the trashcan, she painted my car. She painted her shoes and herself.

Then she filled up a little bowl from her toy kitchen with watery mud and offered it to Sherman saying, “Take, Sherman. This is the true blood of Christ!”

How do you break the news that girls can’t be giving communion to dogs? It’s just not theologically sound. ;)

9 miles

was this week’s accomplishment. It took about an hour and 45 minutes, a little less. Afterwards my knees felt like they might collapse, and the next day I was exhausted.

4 weeks left until my race!

Please pray that I don’t injure myself, get ill, or do anything else that would prevent my finishing this race.

And if you happen to live nearby, there’s a BBQ following, bring your own hotdogs and beer.

Yes that’s the Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead and The Cure.

I like it, but there’s something wrong with the thought of my child falling asleep to a song which has the lyrics “This is what you get when you mess with us.” Talk about an adversarial parent/child relationship!
Yikes!
