Life
I have an affinity for this subject, finding oneself. And maybe the reason is that I have felt so lost on so many days of my motherhood that I didn’t know where to go. I didn’t know who to turn to, or what to even say to my husband. I wasn’t sure who I was…
Lately, I’ve just become fed up. Fed up with others telling me how to live my life, and how you should live yours. As moms, we are inundated with “mommy-shamers” who tell us every day we are doing this Mom thing all wrong. It’s my gut instinct to just ignore this unwarranted advice – actually,…
Our lives changed the day she got her diagnosis. I wasn’t so young that I wasn’t aware of what it meant, but I was quite certain she would beat it. A young girl of 16 doesn’t see death coming. I was more interested in boys, friends, and band. I wasn’t worried about my mom. She…
The Overwhelming Moments of Motherhood Most days I feel like I have it together…pretty much. I get up, get my kids ready for school with the help of my awesome husband, get breakfast ready, make the coffee, get myself ready for work, and send everyone off for their busy days. I’m no different than millions…
Almost 40! Some folks would have you believe that they never change. They don’t age. They will do everything they can to stop the ravages of time. I’m not one of them. The truth is that everyone is changing. Everyone. Some say they’re the same, but that’s not completely true. We’re all aging. We’re all…
So today I’ve spent about three hours trying to write. I’ve written a few paragraphs and then deleted them. That’s not what I wanted to say. Then I wrote a couple sentences and didn’t like those. Out they go. I’m stymied. I’m stumped. I’m apparently out of words that mean something besides what I’m currently…
I’m struggling. I used to know my beliefs, and I was sure about them. You know what I mean? How you’re so sure of everything when you’re younger? There is no gray; everything is black and white. It’s either this way or it’s that way. No middle ground. I was so sure that God had…
I’ve heard my friends talk a lot about how different it is to go from having only one child to having two or more. While that’s very true, it’s even more true when your first child has special needs. To add another child into the mix can be terrifying, exhilarating, and overwhelming. It also adds…
Some days, I wish for lots of things. Today, I’m finding that I only have one wish. My wish for Wishful Wednesday is to have a peaceful life. I went to church on Sunday, after having been away from the fellowship for a couple of years. Truthfully, I haven’t been an active church member since…
There are times, like today, when I’d love to be irresponsible. I’d love to be the one who doesn’t remember what time the kids have to be at school or therapy. Or the one who never remembers where I put my cell phone, keys, wallet, belt, and shoes. But I’m not. I’m a Mama. Mamas…
Last night, I was lying in bed watching “Four Christmases”. Now, this movie did not win any Oscars for best picture, but it was an enjoyable movie for lulling me to sleep. I was lying there, thinking about the weekend and how Joel and I had a few moments this weekend where we just weren’t…
Every year, I do a 30 days of Thanksgiving on my facebook status. Now, some of you have read them since we are personal friends; but I’m guessing most of you haven’t. I’m going to share my favorites with you below. Some are silly, some are serious. But they are ALL heart-felt. I love to…
Have you ever heard someone say about people receiving government assistance, “People should get out and get a job. Why do I have to work and others can sit at home on their butts reaping the rewards of my hard work?” If you haven’t heard that, count your lucky stars. I actually have heard some…
Here’s the funny thing about life: It can knock you down and lift you up in a heartbeat. This week, I had a little situation with an MRI. I had to go have a breast MRI on both breasts and I was a little freaked out. My mom died of breast cancer at the age…
I’ve been stewing. Sitting here wondering how to get more readers when what I should be focusing on is venting through my writing. And enjoying the process of writing. I don’t know if anyone is reading this, other than my writing partner, Nicole. At this point, I really just want to talk about my life…
