So...my mom is really sick...the worse sick she's been...now what?
I did something really crazy. I volunteered to sing a solo in church. I've been doing a lot of daring stuff lately...just because I want to. I used to perform all the time when I was younger but like I told Joette yesterday in the car- it has taken me almost 5 years of marriage/being a mom to figure parts of me out again...well anyway-I think I did alright even though I was a little nervous- these two recent return missionaries in our ward who happen to speak that sunday were funny- one who lives across the street from us said I need to open my windows more often and sing to the whole neighborhood and the other guy insisted we start a band- We would be called the W.T.- the abbreviations for our dinky little city we live in- he even had a gang sign for the W.T.- I love this kind of humor.
Joette is here for a week. It has been so amazing to listen to her play my piano...I feel like I have come home. We have had fun so far...Mckenzie loves her- follows her around everywhere. We went on a really cool walk today along the river...and talked about life and love...and then we waded our feet in the water for a second or so...got to love those chacos.
We celebrated Julia's b-day on Sunday. fun fun joy joy
I saw a shooting star this morning on my paper route...and a skunk!! I walked 10 feet in front of it before I noticed it! It scared me to death. His tail was straight up in the air and I booked it...you guys know how dramatic I can be sometimes so I seriously was freaked out for a couple minutes. I don't like delivering papers in the dark sometimes-
Those of you who know me quite well are aware of my sudden freak outs of startlments...Joette had a good take on me today. She said I am in deep thought often and so anything out of the ordinary kind of sets me off...I kind of agree with her.

WAY TO GO APRIL! What song did you sing? You rock! I feel exactly the same way....there are so many parts of the 'old Marne' that have yet to re-surface. When will that happen?
You are so lucky to have such a fabulous sister like Joette. :) Lucky you!
I love seeing shooting stars. they make me feel closer to heaven. Julias cake was adorable. Good Job. I dont like to be startled by skunks either. They kind of freak me out too.
oh Calie- I can't take credit for the cake...my friend Cami did it for me...I don't think I have mom's touch when it comes to cake decorating- I would eat all the frosting first anyway and there wouldn't be enough for the cake-
Marne- I sang a rendition of "I stand all amazed" and I kind of made it my own in a few spots- just changing it up a little really made the words come alive- that is such a powerful song...
I want to help the old Marne resurface!!!!! Come out wherever you are!
What happens to us, that makes us lose our old selves? Deep thoughts.... by Jack Handy...
It was an honor to be there for Julia's big day! It was cool to see Joette (hi!). I was hoping to hear you sing the song, but it didn't happen!
I don't think I want the 'old Tara' to resurface. I am quite happy that I've grown out of some of my old ways (craziness). The stress of responsibility and growing up morphs us! I just wish I could ease up a bit more often - too much to do to really ever let loose!
