Eye of the Storm song: Ryan Stevenson ..mmm, when my hopes and dreams are far from me, and I’m runnin’ out of faith I see the future I picture slowly fade away And when the tears of pain and heartache Are pouring down my face I find my peace in Jesus’ name.. In the eye … [Read more…]
Who do you like to be with when you’re feeling sad? This is a tough question. In some cases, hugging my kids or getting a laugh out of my husband is pretty good. In other ways, it might be a family get together that really helps, though they’re few and far between. It’s really … [Read more…]
Today’s topic is actually about … umm.. blogging. Several have been about blogging, which seems odd. Most people here don’t want to read about blogging, they want to read ME blogging. But I digress. The topic from Friday was: Do you fight against growing old, or embrace it? Somehow it has less to do with … [Read more…]
Go HERE and read her article. If you’re pregnant or nursing or sensitive.. have a tissue. I’ll wait… okay. Did it make you cry? When I read it, tears fell heavy into my lap. No sobs, just heavy tears. I feel like this is a life changer. Or it should be. I want it to … [Read more…]

My mom made the 80 mile trip (nabbing an award for being the farthest traveler) without my dad as he caught a cold at the last minute and didn’t feel like traveling. Since Brennan had just seen her, and had … [Read more…]
It’s rainy and soggy and will be the rest of the week. The kids refuse to nap, eat, or do anything like normal. I spent the morning making a dish for a funeral meal (my husband volunteers weekly with a lady during the school year for K’s club, and her husband lost his second (different) … [Read more…]
and full of holes and… today I’m talking about the state of me. I wonder what my mom would write at this point in her life? She never outwardly bemoaned what she didn’t have when we were growing up, and I try really hard not to say anything in front of the girls. But mommy’s … [Read more…]
As with all things, life eventually goes on. Wounds heal, children grow, learn and start to gain attitudes 😉 I saw my doctor today and she said we could ‘get busy’ making another baby whenever we decide it’s time.
