Our evening ritual with The Doctor


We have a new evening ritual with an English man (just E and I, my oldest has not yet been converted). And although it is one of the strangest shows I've ever seen, you can't help but love The Doctor. We are big fans of the tenth Doctor. We are learning to love the 11th. You get a little attached.


When Rose and The Doctor were seperated at the end of season 6, E looked at me and said, "Mom, I'm tearing up." We're addicted.

Tuesday Reflections


In the attempt to remove chaos from my room and create my own personal 'space of relaxation and peace', I have moved my bed, emptied my closets for Deseret Industries, removed an old dresser, and organized papers, books and keepsakes. There are a just a few things left out that I have yet to put in its proper place. I was so close to that serene space that everyone dreams about.

And yet when I came home from work today and went upstairs to change...
-I was blocked by the door completely (stuffed animals having a sleep over)
-I couldn't walk across the carpet (homework, pencils, crayons, books and paper)
-I stepped on a plate (crumbs from some extremely delicious snack that I didn't eat)
-I toppled over a glass of milk perched precariously on the end of my TV stand.

It is then that I realized what the chaos is really about. I know, she looks innocent enough, but you can't win. Ever.
