I am inherently selfish. This is what motherhood is slowly and painfully teaching me. I have never claimed to be selfless, but I surely never thought I was this bad. The thoughts that run through my head for the majority of the day are all about me. I am tired. I want a nap. I… Continue reading Selfish
It’s cold here. Like 7 below. We aren’t leaving the house. Because of the cold & snow & blowing & such, we had to cancel our family Christmas dinner on Sunday. I was bummed because I was super excited to see Little Man open his first Christmas presents! And I knew he’d have new toys,… Continue reading Random Ramblings
Hello. My name is Rachel. And I’m addicted to television. I am not kidding. I love TV. I guess, to be fair, I love all media. If we were rich, we’d have the top level of cable/dish/whatever, fancy schmancy television sets, digital HD radio, magazine subscriptions to about 100 magazines, smart phones that could access… Continue reading Addict
This past week I worked at church every day. We had a huge leadership conference for multiple churches on Thursday and Friday, so I was working at it. It’s a huge blessing to be at home, because I can volunteer for such things. I dropped Little Man off with his grandparents on Thursday morning. I… Continue reading The Heart Aches
I take my roles as wife and mother very seriously. I feel like this is where God has called me to live right now: as a stay at home wife and mother. So I feel this immense pressure to “do it right.” Now I realize that “right” is what is right for my family –… Continue reading Scheduling My Life
A friend of mine gave birth to a precious baby boy last October. In March, she said she still didn’t feel “normal,” and that she has heard it takes a year after giving birth to feel like yourself again. Obviously I didn’t give birth…so I wonder how long it takes for adoptive mommies? When I… Continue reading How Long?
I have so many thoughts in my head that I can’t really separate them out, so today’s post is full of random ramblings. I finally feel like a stay-at-home-mom (although, in reality, we don’t stay at home a lot!). School has been back in session for two weeks, and I finally feel like I am… Continue reading Random Ramblings
Debbie wrote a post yesterday that prompted the thoughts in the back of my mind to spring to the front. I have always had high expectations for myself. Typically I don’t project these expectations onto others, and having high expectations for myself has not really been a problem. But when it comes to motherhood… especially, I think,… Continue reading Great Expectations
Hello Readers of Mommy’s Blog! I decided I should update mommy’s blog since she is so bad at doing so. It seems all mommy does is play with me and clean up the house. I love it, though, because I get lots of her undivided attention. I was really sick last week. I couldn’t hardly breathe,… Continue reading I’m So Big!!
I haven’t posted in almost two weeks. I’ve been caught up in the daily grind of life. I don’t say that as a bad thing…it’s just life 🙂 We travelled to Detroit over Memorial Day Weekend. My hubby likes to leave at the crack of dawn, so we were at my brother’s house by noon… Continue reading The Daily Grind
