Don’t Mind Me; I Just Need to Breathe

May 7th, 2008

I am running mile 22 of a marathon. Wait, I take that back. Not only am I running in the marathon, I had to organize the marathon. And after 4 decades, I am still not at ease in the particulars. But I was raised by a detail-oriented mother and I married someone less detail-oriented than me. So guess who gets the job?

Second son enters double-digit years tomorrow. I taught my last Kids Cook Farm Fresh class today. The last Mom’s Night Out organized event took place last Friday eve. The next day the cake, a packed car and I traveled 70 miles to celebrate an almost bride who’s waited almost 38 years to share her bed. Carpooling, sickness, school deadlines, laundry, award ceremonies, Boy Scouts, (need I go on?) all demand time and energy. I. must. drink. tea.

My dear, sweet, generous parents provide a week at the beach each year for my brother and I and our families. We leave at the end of next week! Somehow I will figure out how to slip away to the pier at Huntington Beach and watch the surfers for an entire morning. And I will. not. think. about coordinating anything.

While I’m gone, I have a few surprises up my sleeve for Tea Party Girl including another interview with a Tea Party Pro and some guest posts from fellow Tea Party Fans, interspersed with a few of Tea Party Girl’s favorite posts from yesteryear. And know I will be seeking out a few new Tea Party Hot Spots to tell you all about.

See you on the other side.

    What a great blog this morning! Your “cuteness” came out all over the place! If you were not in this marathon, you would be in another. Or you could be actually running a real marathon 26 miles. I don’t know, the marathon of life sounds much more rewarding. My marathon is pretty long right now too. A huge garden, a watering system to put in, a compost bin to construct, a baby shower to host tonight, a baby quilt to finish, a baby devotional to prepare, watching a couple kids today, a healthy hour work out, a daughter’s wedding in 2 1/2 weeks! Did I forget the birthdays, the watering of the new grass, keeping the house up, schooling my children, and trying to smile through it all?
    Without tea, I might cry. With tea, I’ll get by! After all that, I get about a month off, until the FAMILY REUNION! YIKES! I. will. sit. and. drink. tea. today. TEA PARTY GIRL: I’m pressing on with you!
