From My Mother’s Journal, First Entries

By Erin | Published: August 31, 2009
This is meant to be a “Mother’s Journal.” Started out just throwing notes together. Never enough time to sit and write. “Very rough beginning.” I hope, Erin, that this is special and interesting to you when you grow up. I couldn’t possibly put all my feelings in words, but maybe enough for you to get [...]

The Week in Review

By Erin | Published: August 28, 2009
My Monday/Tuesday to-do list became my week’s to-do list, which is okay. I want to go to the beach soon and work on correcting my tennis tan (I’d say “farmer’s tan,” except that if I said that out loud, my garden would start laughing at me in the most rowdy and embarrassing way), but Danny’s [...]

Nine Years Ago

By Erin | Published: August 26, 2009
I’ve been rearranging photo albums, consolidating Jesse’s pictures and my pictures in chronological order (which has proved harder than anticipated), so for the past few days all I’ve been looking at are pictures of Jesse and me in high school. Here is a memory: The Bonds had just moved back to Florida from Texas, where [...]

Our church now has evening services (identical [...]

New Look?

By Erin | Published: August 21, 2009
I think I’m getting antsy because I haven’t had a haircut in a long time. But I’m really close to having enough for Locks of Love, so I’m trying to hold out. (Had a dream the other night that I gave up a half inch before qualifying!) Instead, I am thinking of another blog overhaul. [...]

Day One, and Shoe Shopping

By Erin | Published: August 20, 2009
So, I started my experiment today, but I didn’t get up at 6:00. We had tennis shopping to do last night and didn’t get to bed early enough for that, so I started the day today at 7:00, which felt plenty early anyway. I figure I will work my way up to 6:00. I managed [...]

This Could Be a Disaster

By Erin | Published: August 19, 2009
I’m not a morning person. I know—there are plenty of not-morning-people. But I really don’t like mornings. If I have to wake up early, for a meeting or a doctor’s appointment or something, I tell Jesse to ignore everything I say or do until I’ve been up at least fifteen minutes. I get kind of [...]
