Shift of Focus
Pin itJust 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! Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin [...]
FIRE! … TIMBER!
Pin itThe 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. [...]
Warning: Whining
Pin itI have approximately 6 weeks to go. I feel MIS ER A BLE! Oh my goodness. I had a hunch the last trimester would be uncomfortable (the third time around), but I wasn\’t prepared for this. My stomach feels as huge as the day I delivered the first two, but I still have 6 [...]

My Big Helper
Pin itTuesday I was soooooo tired. I desperately needed a nap. I put Livi down for her nap, and let Joel play Star Wars on the XBox. I woke to Joel\’s feet running to the bathroom, and the full strip down of clothing began. That means poop. Poop requires parental intervention — i.e. I gotta [...]
Of Christmas and Rainbows
Pin itJoel and his buddy Sam sat in the third row of the minivan. The 2 five-year-old boys chatted and giggled and discussed the deep things of life. I did my best to listen and remember what I heard… Joel: Do you know what Christmas is? It\’s Jesus\’ birthday. Sam: Yeah, everyday is Jesus\’ birthday. [...]
Peace and Motherhood???
Pin itAt 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. [...]
About sleep…
Pin itI 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 [...]
