Had it not been for the story about ship Captain Richard Phillips having made his escape today, I would have preferred to miss today’s news. I got caught up in the whole Twitter worm story and the 17 year old boy behind the worm and in my research I went to CNN. Killings and shootings, drug deals gone wrong and dead children. A retired priest loses control of his car and kills a parishioner. How could a day so full of promise contain such tragedy? The world just doesn’t stop for anything – does it?

As a wife and working mother of three boys, I blog for the sake of my family because if I don’t make notes here about where they can all find their socks, they’ll be lost without me when I’m gone.

Desert Pond Goes Live
It’s late on a Sunday night and I’m stretching it, making it last as long as I can. A typical feeling for Sunday. Tomorrow, I will get up, race around the house, gather my electronics, my badge, maybe a spare pair of shoes for walking downtown, hustle kids out the door and race my way to the office. I will attend meeting after meeting, make decisions, read email, make phone calls, answer phone calls and rush until the end of the work day. I will pray my husband is at the bus stop on time to get the kids and that someone remembers to feed the dog. When I come home, I will sigh because I really need to clean the kitchen, sweep and mop the floors and scrub a few toilets. My energy will be spent so none of this will get done. Next weekend, I think. I’ll tackle it then. I won’t….but it calms the stress if I at least say to myself that I will.
