The One in Which I Throw a Pity Party

I’m going to whine; I am going to throw myself a pity party. Feel free to read and then throw your own party in the comments, or skip ahead straight to the comments and whine away. My husband has (undiagnosed because the doc won’t see him until tomorrow afternoon) influenza. I have had a weather… Continue reading The One in Which I Throw a Pity Party

Angry at God and Infertility

I am angry at God. Read my crisis in faith post from last month. I have been angry because Little Man is still having sleep issues. Sunday at church our worship pastor preached. I got more out of his sermon than any other sermon I’ve heard in the past six months. Here is what I… Continue reading Angry at God and Infertility

And This Makes Twenty

Michelle Duggar is pregnant with child number twenty. I found out during my MOPS meeting today. Thankfully, no one there said anything asinine about it. Facebook, and online, however, is a different story. I am saddened by this news, but I am sad because I am jealous. Do I want twenty children? Not necessarily. But… Continue reading And This Makes Twenty

…but our doggie is :(

When we got married in 2003, I had a cat and Keith had a dog. We were truly worried about how they would get along; how do you tell the love of your life to get rid of their beloved animal? I was not really a dog person. But on our first date, I drove… Continue reading …but our doggie is ðŸ˜¦

I haven’t been blogging much. You can tell, if you just scroll down and notice the gaping times between posts. I haven’t been keeping up on my other blog, either. I wish I had a really good reason for this, like we’re moving, or I’m super busy being a terrific mother, or my husband is… Continue reading If…

Mess

I haven’t been posting lately because, quite frankly, I’m a mess. But while I was thinking about this while driving today, I realize that either: A) I’m not alone, so posting about it might bring encouragement to me AND someone else or B) I am alone, but writing about it will make me feel better.… Continue reading Mess

Simplicity: Christmas & Birthday

I’m a little overwhelmed about the next six weeks or so. So far, we have three family Christmas events, two church productions and a first birthday coming up. We have been “out” of the Christmas game for so long, I’m apprehensive that I will do it wrong. And frankly, the thought of “doing Christmas” is… Continue reading Simplicity: Christmas & Birthday
