For those of you who missed what happened today in the life of Katherine aka Kate aka Aunty K here are the Hightlights:

I got up and talked/IMed a good friend
I ate lunch
I got a call from my boss saying i didn't have to work till three
More computer and watching of Dawsons Creek
I went to work where I got to take the baby screaming and wet from her father in the pool and take her inside
The 5 yr old boy told me that my head looked different and a little bit scary (new haircut)
We all ate ice cream.
The boy child took a shower
We watched cartoons.
We went to the main building/bar for fried cheese sticks and french fries
The baby slides several gazillion times down the playground slide.
We lie in the grass looking for four leaf clovers.
The baby fell asleep too early and the boy watched Frosty the Snowman
I get a call from my parents;our cat has cornered a baby skunk in the porch, they retrieved her unscathed but mom is still traumatized and the skunk may still be on our porch.
The girl woke up the boy fell asleep.
An hour of the baby half awake staring at me while i wait to go home..
I drive home
Upon parking in the driveway i call inside to ask if it is safe to come in.
I read my sisters blog for the first time in weeks to find she has actually referenced a comic book??? Seriously.

Happy Birthday Jon !!

Last night I had the priviledge of receiving a phone call from my very good friend Jon. There are not very many things which I miss about school but one of the things I miss the most are the periodic calls from Jon. Jon is in so many ways things which I strive to be, quiet, thoughtful, reserved, deep, intellectual and charming. In so many ways his friendship has been such a blessing to me and so on this his birthday my prayers and thoughts are toward him for blessings big and small in the coming year.


Today at work the baby was very grumpy as I layed her down for her nap, late. She was sobbing and crying out for apa (korean for daddy) and MaMa and was sobbing those deep hold your breath sobs deep in her chest. It struck me though as she eventually drifted off. In some ways I am envious of her. When she feels something she does not hold back. Her emotions are strong and full. When I am upset I am not able to give it up and cry out and I think that sometimes it is in the giving up that we finally receive comfort. So I hope that as you read this today you as I will find a new revelation of crying out in your broken exhaustion and eventually finding rest in the peace that follows.
In other news I will be in Oswego sat afternoon for the annual Lauren and Mark Harborfest BBQ. It is going to be so great. I am going to go into work to do children's activities but then hopefully sneaking out to head for O town and Harborfest. I was in Oswego last night to visit Mel and went to a wonderful bible study led by deb greutman. Then I went swimming with mel and joneil in the pool after dark. Mel is living with the Greuts now and has girlified Bens room and bathroom. It is great but I miss the Ben.
Well I had better finish this up before the computer overheats as it is its new habit of doing.
Happy Birthday Jon!

Post 99

Last week I went to the eye doctor and decided to finally spend the big bucks and get contacts again. My glasses have served me well and I will still use them but seeing things through my new lenses has served a purpose of lending me a new persepective.

I thought my glasses with their thick scratched up lenses were fine ...but now as I look through my daily disposables I wonder what I was thinking not doing this months ago. Things are so much clearer now.

Things have been clearing up in a lot of ways for me lately. I stopped taking my allergy medicine and came out of the fog it was putting me in. I have been trying to relax more and not take myself so seriously. I have been talking to friends who have been encouraging me in so many ways.

I have been seeking healing in so many areas of my life and it seems as quick as I figure things out it begins to again seem overwhelming but I have faith that in the end all that matters is what God thinks of me and his love for me is not based on how well I think I am doing or how good I can behave. His love is abba father love, not conditioned in works.

So my popcorn chicken is done and I need to go eat that and get on with the rest of my day off. I hope this post finds everyone well and that in whatever way you need healing big or small you too will allow the Lord to work it all out.

Let Go and Let God :) Shalom.... Kate
