Prayer Life…what a joke

I wept for some “friends” yesterday. You see, Alece, at her blog Grit and Glory, brought up the topic of prayer. Basically, she was saying, and the comments were echoing, that prayer can be difficult, guilt ridden, unfocused, and, at times, all together non-exisitent. I read over 30 comments that shared her thoughts.

I made my [...]

Last Time

Today is Wednesday, April 14, 2010. This day will never happen again, but, as the sun sets, tomorrow comes.

Tomorrow brings with it one last time for me.

One last time to feel this little guy in my womb.

One last time to hear the heartbeat monitor keeping track of his little ticker.

One last time to be stuck [...]

Folding the fitted sheet with flair!

Recently, my friend Christi Donaldson tweeted “I’m not good at folding fitted sheets.” To which I responded, “oo, oo, I’m great at floding fitted sheets! I’ll have to show you my trick next time we’re doing laundry together. …. wait.” And yes, I typed “floding”. Lame

So, I decided since Christi and I don’t do laundry [...]

Food matters

Yesterday I posted about how I think parents can get all wickity-whacked about the dinner table. Today, however, I wonder if parents, although want their kids to clean or not clean their plates, make poor food choices for their kiddos. I know I can.

As much as I don’t want food and eating it to be [...]

Whew!

So, yesterday I wrote about how my coping skills were dead on the floor. I just could hardly function with out feeling like I was going to pop emotionally. JT got home from church where he found me sitting in the chair. He asked if he could do anything for me. I simply explained that [...]

Countdown is for the birds

Well, I only have six more weeks to go before this little one gets here. Honestly, you’d think that the hormones craziness would have subsided by now, but I think it’s just worse.

It plays out more in my ability to cope. Dust can bring me to tears. That piece of paper on the floor can [...]

I’m a Newbie

There was drama. Well, more like, I was dramatic, but it was important! I was in the throws of researching a new computer and, well, there was drama.

You see, I cut my computer teeth on DOS and Windows and the time had come for me to try something new, say….like a Mac or something. So, [...]

Where Am I???

Oh mercy, what have I done? I’m here at WordPress now and, holy smokes, it’s a new world. Have you SEEN this blog? Right now, it’s just the content in this post that I have any control over.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I have control over the entire thing! I mean, I’ve actually paid for [...]

Countdown to Better Sleep…Sorta

It’s happened every pregnancy. My sleep in the last few weeks is, well, terrible. It’s not so much once I fall asleep, it’s the time before I fall asleep.

Now, I’m no doctor, but I’m curious if there is such a thing as gestational restless leg syndrome. Not kidding. It doesn’t happen when I’m not pregnant, [...]

The Heavy Weight of Leadership

I hopped over to Lori Wilhite’s blog that lead me to a new blog called Cultivate Her, a blog
“where women are inspired, challenged and encouraged in their leadership growth. No matter what your leadership influence looks like, your gifts will be cultivated to encourage you to embrace our motto “wherever you lead, lead well”

This [...]
