Questions that came to mind while on retreat

1. why do all the cows in the fields face the same way? did one of the cows say, 'hey! look over there!' and they all turned? is it a sun-bathing thing where they all turn every 30 minutes? (actually, that sounds delicious)
2. why is it i can't slow down? i'm slow at home. why am i so fast here? i've never eaten an entire plate of food in 10 minutes. what's up with that?
3. why does food taste so much better when you don't have to make it?
4. why does food taste so awful when you don't make it?
5. why doesn't my brother want to hang out with me?
6. why doens't he want to talk?
7. what has changed us so much that we are no longer close?
8. and why does that hurt so much?
9. why is it that as soon as i get anywhere, i have to leave to run around and check out everything?
10. why did i just spend 14$ on a pair of shorts and 24$ on a pair of boys' capri pants? i'd never spend that at home. i'd balk at spending over 5$ on anything! even starbucks!
11. why am i so sleepy?
12. why are there pictures of Mary everywhere? (answer: i'm in a Catholic building)
13. why do i miss my boys so much when i just saw them 6 hours ago?
14. why did i bring so much stuff?
15. would my hubby really be that annoyed if i went to the movies without him?
16. why do i look better in boys clothes?
17. why am i so weepy?
Today:
1. why do they put pieces of chees in tiny little packets that are hard to open? maybe all food that is fattening should be in hard to open containers so that you burn calories before eating it.
2. why was that mother feeding her 1 year old a mcdonald's burger?
3. why do plants in stores always look so pretty that i want to buy them?
4. why was i so weepy during service?
5. why do i not miss my family anymore?
6. why am i the only one in the building of 100 rooms?
7. what am i eating for dinner if no one is here?
8. why are the houses in small towns so big and beautiful and affordable, but they are too far away to live in?
9. why am i no longer afraid to have another baby?
