As I sit here, spending my last Monday of 2018 sipping my 3rd cup of coffee, in my slippers, I can't help but dream about 2019. In some ways, a year seems to take F.O.R.E.V.E.R. Like when you turn 15, and you have 1 year until you can drive and have FREEDOM! Or when you find out you're pregnant, and waiting to snuggle your new precious baby, those 40 weeks seem to slowly pass by. Or entering your last year of college, ...
Because there's been a number of blog posts I've started and haven't finished.... Because sometimes I second guess what I'm thinking and its value.... Because sometimes I think they've heard it all before.... But maybe, just maybe, someone needs to read this. As I scroll through social media, my heart hurts. So many broken families, broken hearts, and broken people. I never saw it before Jayses death. ...
Last night, as I wiped an eyelash off Alexas' cheek, she sweetly asked to blow it and make a wish. She informed me that if you don't tell anyone your wish, it will indeed come true. I laughed and said yes I think you are right. She blew the eyelash away, and looked up at me and said if my wish comes true I'll have another baby brother. The sunglasses over my eyes hid my tears from my 4 year old daughter, and I smiled ...
I think back to life as a child, with those rose-colored glasses. I remember thinking and believing life was like a blank tape. I spent so many hours with a blank tape in hand, waiting for Ace of Base, Hootie and the Blowfish, or Alanis Morisette to come on the radio so I could ...
So in these adolescent and early teenage raising years, my life consists of driving kids to and from practices, refereeing arguments, and <insert a sarcastic tone> being a horribly unfair mom that makes disgusting food and takes away IPads and IPods for no apparent reason. I love my children, but oh man, being a mom isn't an easy job. The other half of my day is teaching other peoples children. Bloody boogers, ...
So as things often happen, it's funny, or should I say, miraculous, to see our God at work. I have to admit, I did not listen to him calling me, more like beckoning me tonight. And I just had to write about it, because the guilt from not following his will, has been all that I could think about the past 2 hours. So the events leading up to this----it's been a normal Wednesday usual crazy Wednesday! My older daughter, ...
Yes, it's true. He does. You pray. He answers. Wouldn't that be funny if that's all I wrote. I mean that's the meat and potatoes of it right there! All you have to do is speak to him, and he answers. Now, maybe I should also add, it may not be always how you expect, ...
OK, so let me preface this post by saying that I have been a lifelong Grey's Anatomy fanatic. Since the original five debuted--Meredith, Izzy, Christina, Alex, and George--I've been a fan. I watched this show before I became a mom of 1, let along a mom of 5. So, through all the deaths and craziness that has happened on Greys'.... and my own life... I've continued to watch. I suppose many people DVR (record and watch ...
