mama i'm comin' home

Wow....that is all I can say about the past week. I sit now on Sunday in the dining room of our new apartment looking at pictures of my Mississippi trip. Amazing is the only word for it.... so I left last Sunday morning with a group of 25 kids from MHS and 3 other chaperones to go to Kiln, Miss to do Katrina relief. I left with a whole lot of fear and nervousness about this trip. I can honestly say I was not looking forward to it- but boy was I suprised at how wonderful it was. I want to gush and gush about it but I am so tired and we are still unpacking so I am going to write more about it....until then check this site out....read down where you see a man in an orange shirt and hat (that is our amazing new friend Chris) that is where it starts having entries and pictures of us.

More to come....

Lots of love

movin on up

to the east side.... ok not really...moving to the QC... sounds cool, right? like the OC?
Anywho, I am frantically trying to balance packing to go to Mississippi to do some Katrina rebuilding for the next week and packing our apartment to move. Yes...I do feel crazy thank you. My head is spinning and the place is a disaster.

I usually like to take my time packing stuff..going over each object as I pack it -thinking about where it came from and it's story. Not this time though... but I just heard a very interesting story about a former couple that started a Museum of Broken Relationships. So much of my stuff ties me to the past and things from different relationships -some that are still wonderful and in tact and some that faded or plummeted to an end. There's the part of me that says get rid of the old crap and there's part of me that feels if I get rid of everything I will forget it - and then it will seem as though it never even happened. Is that wierd? I feel very attached to ever little scrap of paper that I've stashed away in various boxes...like someday I may need it again. Well, enough reminiscing ...I've got a lot of packing to do! Check out that museum and maybe think about what you would have to put in the exhibit...and while I am bumming you out check out the saddest thing I own.....
