Just awhile ago I created a whining post about my pregnancy discomfort. I then went to read a few blogs. Isn\’t it funny how Tish wrote about pregnancy. I needed a refreshisng perspective to help me work through these next several weeks! Lovely post Tish!

FIRE! … TIMBER!
The recipe for Mississippi Mud Cake said to brown the marshmallows, not set them on fire. Oops. I smelled something burning – the marshmallows! I ripped open the oven to find my 9×13 pan covered in flames! Being the \”bright\” and \”calm in disaster\” type of person that I am, I blow the flames. Yeah, [...]

Peace and Motherhood???
At my last MOPS meeting, my friend Karen talked about peace. Karen had 3 boys witin 4.5 years… they are now 7 and up. The woman has walked through the fire of being a mother of 3 preschool boys and is worthy to be listened to. She is a well-spring of joy. So, peace. Peace [...]

About sleep…
I am staying up much too late. I am exploring the blogosphere, something I rarely do, but something I so want to do (I should be prepping my tax stuff – yuck!!!) I ran acrossSleeping Mommy tonight. I have to copy and credit her witty tagline, \”If sleep deprivation is an effective form of torture [...]
