Toni's Mid-Life Crisis: July 2009
http://tonismid-lifecrisis.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 24, 2009. There is nothing in this world that brings me quite as much delight as my children! Each one is a miracle to behold, a true gift from God. You might be asking yourself if I could possibly be a bit prejudice? But, then again, most of you could understand that point of view and probably have some pretty amazing kids of your own! Perhaps ALMOST as amazing as Michael, Noel,and Christian! My relationship with her is full of fun, sarcasm, and static! Michael is an assistant chaplain in t...

http://tonismid-lifecrisis.blogspot.com/2010/03/teen-trials.html
Wednesday, March 24, 2010. I am officially a Grandma! I cannot do justice to the emotions that course through my heart when I look at that little guy! I am truly in love! But first I am a mom. Being a mom is an exceptional, yet common job! It is a blessing, and usually a joy! And sometimes it is a.curse! Maybe I am being a bit of a drama queen,but the last few days at home with teenagers.Arghhhh. I am frustrated, hurt, annoyed, and disgusted. With myself. With them. With life. To keep on doing what I do ...

Toni's Mid-Life Crisis: Ramblings of this Mind...
http://tonismid-lifecrisis.blogspot.com/2010/04/life-is-so-darn-busy.html
Saturday, April 17, 2010. Ramblings of this Mind. Life is so darn busy. Today I am just going to jot down a few random thoughts that are racing around in my head. I will be starting training for a part time temporary position with the Census Bureau in just a couple of weeks. This, in addition to my regular job at "You're Special Hair Salon". That is how we have stayed successful in our business for 29 years! This past month, ending with next week, I have been on jury duty. I have not been called to s...

Toni's Mid-Life Crisis: In Anticipation of Baby Boy Schommer
http://tonismid-lifecrisis.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-anticipation-of-baby-boy-schommer.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. In Anticipation of Baby Boy Schommer. My heart is beating with hard irregular beats. I am agitated during the day, and not getting good sleep at night. I can't seem to keep my focus on anything. This sounds to me like a dreaded terminal illness. In reality, it is just a case of anxiety and excitement over the birth of my first grandchild. Not to mention how it warms this mother's heart! More importantly, I am also taking enormous delight in watching my son and his wife be to...

Toni's Mid-Life Crisis: June 2009
http://tonismid-lifecrisis.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2009. I am going to be a grandma! I can't hardly absorb the context of those words! I am still getting used to the fact that my oldest child is a husband, much less a father! Amazing does not even begin to describe how I feel about this newest life change! Kayla is the perfect partner for Michael, and the love between them has been apparent since shortly after they first started dating about 2 years ago. A few days ago the happy newlyweds phoned to tell us the sweet news.Needless t...

Toni's Mid-Life Crisis: November 2008
http://tonismid-lifecrisis.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. My mom is 86. Is that old? Is that the right time to die? Is any time ever "the right time" in our own minds? When did old happen to her? When will it happen to me? Will it sneak up like a thief in the night, and just snatch me? Or will it travel slowly, creeping stealthily to take away whatever youth I still possess? My mother's impending death is uncomfortable. Does that sound understated? I will write more later.This has me pretty wrung out. Links to this post. Mennonite ...

Friday, December 25, 2009. The Gift of Giving. For many reasons, the season of giving has made me reflect upon my own gifting choices. All the normal questions have popped up: what does the reciever want, what does the reciever need, what can I afford? We all go through theses decisions when we are in the midst of the gift giving process. I have given it my all! You made this yourself? Oh, how pretty! And from each and every woman, I received an unexpected gift.a hug and a smile! This process of gift giv...
