Facebook has turned into an ugly debate for and against gay marriage. I used to think my hometown was pretty backwards and prejudiced against these things, so I was surprised at how many of my neighbors, acquaintances, and former schoolmates stood up to support their GLBT friends this week. I was also surprised that those … Continue reading »
unanswered prayers
I recently heard through a friend of a friend that my Ex was on facebook. Not just any ex, but The Ex. The first boy I ever dated, the first boy I ever kissed, etc, etc. The boy I pined over for nearly 8 years of my life. I’m very much over him now, but … Continue reading »
time to fly (guest post)
One of my loved ones shared this vision with me yesterday, and it helped me so much I asked this person’s permission to share it. Our church was praying for the Sandy Hook victims, and singing songs about God healing the broken. Right in the middle of one of the songs, this “vision” hit me. … Continue reading »
my brother, my son
I have been avoiding coverage the Newtown victims. I can’t read articles about the children, or look at their photos. I can’t even bring myself to read their names. I was just 3 when my brother died, but this is bringing up lots of unresolved feelings. So many people are saying they can’t fathom losing … Continue reading »
Freebie Five
It’s been so long since I’ve been able to journal, I really should have something a bit deeper. Sue me. I recently had to change around my Freebie list, and it got me thinking about how fickle I’ve been with my celebrity crushes over the years. I thought maybe I should document this. If you … Continue reading »
worthy of my own reality show
Today is my 30th birthday. It’s kind of sucked so far, and I don’t have anything profound to say on the topic. Moving on. I just read that TLC is working on a reality show similar to the style of Bridezillas, Toddlers & Tiaras, and Dance Moms. This new show will feature “extreme” parents who … Continue reading »
preschool musical
In the past year, we’ve gone on quite the emotional journey regarding Cash & school. In the fall, he started having trouble at preschool. He had been doing great throughout spring & summer. He liked his teachers, he was learning a lot, and looked forward to going in the mornings. In August the director had … Continue reading »
pink bubble
It’s been way too long since I’ve had a chance to write, and I don’t know how long this will last, so I’m going to try to get as much out before I get interrupted. My life is pretty drastically different than it was a year ago. This is not exactly how I envisioned my … Continue reading »
sentimental vs practical
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting rid of some things, but it makes me feel like a jerk for even considering. Be prepared to judge me. My wedding dress. Our 5 year anniversary is this summer, and right now we’re planning to make it to at least 40 years. That gorgeous dress is … Continue reading »
have you seen my sanity?
I’ve been working on a funny post for this blog for almost 3 weeks. It’s pretty clever, I decided to chronicle a day in the life of a stay at home mom. But every time I sit down to work on it, someone is either crying or demanding my attention. This morning has been particularly … Continue reading »
