Started my day with my two youngest who managed their morning beautifully and beat the clock for school.  The earlier bedtimes are working very well for all 3 of us.  Had delicious espresso with my little friend Syd and her Mom and set off to home for some homework. Working on a practice guideline do-over for Midwifery 447. I think I'm getting the hang of the PG's and it turns out they are not rocket science.  I am waiting for a nice apple crisp to come out of the oven so I can test it before I feed it to the kids for dessert tonight. Now, if I only knew what to make for the actual supper?

My Soul Sister, J called to say that her Mom had a heart attack and I wish I could be there to support her in the way she has held me up so many times before. The saving grace is that she has her sibs, who as we grow older we seem to appreciate more and more.  J... if you need a little piece of my heart or just a shoulder to lean on, just say the word okay? And don't forget to give your Mom that little pep talk for me too.

My blood sister sent an email that she is doing relay for life... I thought it seemed a bit odd that she would be doing this and I read her personal page. Turns out she is doing the relay for me since I had what I like to think of as "a touch of cancer" this year. Because we have no cancer in our family to speak of, I was quite surprised to have had to deal with such a thing. I felt very private about it during the process of kicking it's butt to the curb and was careful only to share with a few people... some prayer power and karma healing, just in case. I also didn't tell facebook since I have so many people on facebook that I'm not extremely close with and I'm not great about answering personal questions about my health.  In hind site of course I can talk pretty freely and comfortably about this but still won't opt to do so publicly.  In any case, I was very moved to know that my sister thought to raise money for cancer research. Wouldn't it be cool if we could find a common cure during our lifetime?

Enough kinetic break time. Going to pour a little tea and finish the PG.
