It is 3:01 am
It’s never good to hear one of your kids calling your name at 2:30 in the morning.
And it certainly is not good to hear them say “I am so sorry I peed on the carpet” as soon as they see your face.
And it is even worse when you hear “I don’t know where. I forget. But I’ll try and find it with my foot.”
But if you’re going to be stuck looking for...

Today my husband is having surgery
Last night while getting the last of the things in order for this morning the conversation went from this:
“Do I have a health care proxy?”
“Yeah. We signed our medical directives when we did our wills.”
“Awesome.”
To this:
“Everything is going to be ok, right? There’s nothing to worry about is there?”

Tomorrow night my husband has big plans for us.
For the past few years, every January the two of us sit down for a special evening of future planning.
We have supplies: a good dinner, pens, paper, a list, a calendar and a bottle of wine.
We set goals. For ourselves individually, for our family, for the two of us as a couple.
We makes resolutions. We challenge ourselves. We make goals and say them out loud so we become accountable for...
