Perfect last year, perfect this year. You’ll excuse me while I take a “week off” and repost some of the oldies, but goodies from last year. None more appropriate that today’s post. Merry Chrismas and xo, dear readers… Silent Night. Holy Night. Christ the Savior is Born.
The Stress-Scape
It’s not looking good around here. Laundry is piled up beyond days, and I have a vague notion of a place called “the grocery store”, but I can’t quite remember what it is. When I have called my husband at work, sobbing for the 2nd time in a week that “I just can’t keep up”, […]
The Bracelet 2
A while ago I wrote a post called The Bracelet. That one kind of ripped my heart out and spat it back because it was so poignant, so real, so…honest. I am a private gal and this one chipped a little too close to the vest, but…I liked it. It was healing. I wrote […]
Letting Go
I have a distinct memory of cruising down the highway about a month after my mother was diagnosed with cancer. My 13mo. old son was in the back seat and I remembered something cute about him I wanted to tell my mom. I picked up the phone to call her and then had the passing […]
All the One-Word Answer I Need
I wasn’t planning to post this morning. All the usual players were in the game–tiredness, exhaustion, not being able to keep up, blah, blah, blah…but then I woke up with a jolt at 2:36am. As hard as I tried to pass this off as waking up because I had to pee or typical poor […]
Grief Does Funny Things
It’s Good Friday, and today, death and suffering are near and present. Easter’s joy, blessing, renewal, and sense of hope are coming, but now we hang out in the pain for a bit. It may be the time of year or just that I don’t handle holidays well in general any more, but for some reason, […]
I’m Calling Strength
Every once in a while my inner social worker tries to work her way up to the forefront. I generally try to keep her closeted because despite being the precious bleeding heart that she is, the darn girl never made me any money and I just don’t have a whole of opportunity to use her […]
Rounding Off Corners
Do you remember the lovely Chris Carter from TheMomCafe.com who shared a post here a few weeks ago? Her message in Where Do I Go From Here? resonated with so many of us, and I have found myself going to back to that post many times to draw some clarity and strength. Thank you Chris! […]
Where Do I Go From Here?
Do you all know the sweet, sweet Chris Carter from TheMomCafe.com? She is one of my absolute favorite bloggers. She has that blessed gift of nailing the heart and the funny at the same time, and she does it all while being incredibly real. I can’t tell you how much some of her posts have […]
Feeling “Got”
Welcome to anyone stopping by from the More Than Mommies link-up! I’m glad to have you are visiting and and happy to be cohosting again this week. Tell me I’m not alone on this. I really struggle with the fact that my husband just doesn’t get it. He is a very good man, and a […]
