Reflections....

Well, we have made it through the week without any catastrophes. Amazing! Of course, a couple days were spent at the convent for Sister Marie Bernadette's "celebration of life". It was quite the experience and very interesting. Poor Barb, Jason's mom, kept getting confused with all the nuns coming and trying to introduce us to them. At one point she called Jason, Rudy and me, Jason! After awhile I was forgetting who I was! Let's picture it.....as you walk by Aunt Sister's casket and see the beautiful display of flowers, you come to Barb-one her left is Rudy and on her right is myself and then Jason. If Barb, had stood where Rudy was you would not have seen her behind the flowers! And I am not immediate family so to the nuns she would try to introduce Jason first because he is her son. Thus, the confusion. Then to make things more complicated-or funny!- some people could see a "slight resemblence" between myself and Aunt Sister. Again, let's picture....Aunt Sister is about 4 feet tall....I am 5'7"! So, you can see the comedy going on all around us. It was neat to hear how she had touched so many lives and how funny and spunky she was. She had a great sense of humor. I didn't know her that well before she got sick, but from the times I did spend with her...she was always on the go and saying the funniest things!

I have to admit, I did get lost on Thursday trying to get to a nearby town. One that I have been to many, many times. I picked Sami up from school and thought I could take this one road and it would take me all the way to Oswego. Well, I ended up in unfamiliar territory! I just kept going straight figuring the road would end eventually. Thank goodness it did and there was a sign telling me which way I needed to go. As I drove into Oswego, I realized I was on the wrong side of the river from where I thought I was. But it all worked out. Because the building I needed to go to was on this side! Anyway......

As we head into the weekend, I am hoping for it to be uneventful. I have alot of housecleaning to do! Unfortunately, today it was cold and it rained...after it snowed! So the kids don't get outside. Well, I guess we will get their rooms cleaned! And I am not driving anywhere!
