So, the other day, Jon and I were talking about a movie. He asked me if our oldest son wanted to see it. I said that he probably did want to see it, but that I didn’t want him to, because it had the s-word. To this, Jon seriously replied, “What s-word — Socialism?” Oh, that man makes me laugh.

Well, it has been a different sort of week for the family. Oldest has been at camp this week in the mornings and the two middles have been at Vacation Bible School at our church. So all the boys (except the baby) have been extra tired and ready to go to bed every night. It has been a nice change of pace. During the extra driving this week, I have been listening to 89.1 The Wood, a college radio station out of St. Charles. I heard this song by Amos Lee. The name of the song is “Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight”. And it really got stuck in my head. I think that I might end up buying the album. Anyway, if you’re looking for some good music, you should check him out. Here are some reviews of his album.

Well. I’m sad to be finished with Harry Potter, number 6. Already read it twice. I have all kinds of theories about how it will all end. But I guess that we will just have to wait and see. At least we can look forward to the movie of number 4 that is coming out in the fall. I saw a trailer for it the other day when we went to see “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and it looked very exciting. My second son and the actor who plays Harry look very much alike, bone structure-wise, and so I’m always interested to see what he looks like as he ages with each movie. It has been occurring to me lately, a little more than usual, that my boys are growing up and will continue to grow up, until, Lord willing, they all tower over me. These realizations have been coming as little jolts lately….like the other day, when one of the mothers at my oldest son’s camp told me that her son thought I was pretty. “Ack!”, I thought to myself, “….my boys are going to think that girls are pretty, my boys are going to have crushes on girls. Ack. Ack. Ack.” It is not that I’m slow on the uptake….I know that they are going to grow up and I’m doing all that I can to make sure that they are good men someday. But there are those days when the future snaps into a little sharper focus — and that has been happening to me a lot lately.

I think that I can assume that I have a borderline OCD-thing for germs because, upon seeing an ad for the TV show “Monk” in which Monk puts all his doorknobs in a dishwasher to sterilize them, I thought to myself, “I wish that I could do that with my doorknobs!” Going down the path to crazy, am I?
