Happy Friday! Just touching base – – If I’m on your blogroll and you aren’t on mine, it’s an oversight on my part. Let me know and I’ll fix it – I’m still keeping with my original blogroll philosophy. – To my lurkers – say hello and I’ll come read your blog. Luvs ya. – This week, Alex probably thinks his middle name is NO! As in Alex NO! Which.. Read More
It’s done. Well. It’s done for now. I’ll put chunks of it up for you to read for the parts that are okay, once it starts to wander – in true NaNo unedited style – I will spare you. My drive for writing this particular story is that I’m so invested in the history of my family – to me, anything resembling theology isn’t the point, it’s just the means.. Read More
Now, I would LOVE to have a perfectly decorated house right now. I would love to have a big tree that smells wonderful, and the halls to be deck and boughs of holly, and beautiful Christmas cards that I made myself, and a stack of perfect presents for Scout and Alex … and yes, for me … I’d love everything to be coordinated and putting Martha Stewart and the mother..

So, it’s that time of year where everyone thinks about overindulgence. We’ve made it through Black Friday, we’re in the full swing of gift giving holidays. We have neighbors who have holiday crap that has apparently thrown up on their lawn, so covered in decorations it is. I’ve been loving Unplug Your Kids, even more than usual because she’s been talking about holiday madness and she echoes a lot of.. Read More
Head on over here and verbally pet Lotus’s rack. You know you want to … go on … do it…
Beginning Previous “I should not speak of it, but I was. I always pictured that the Almighty was a Heavenly Father. It should not matter if the Almighty has a male or female form. The Almighty is greater than anything we can picture.” She straightened in her seat as she said this. Ever concerned that she let her audience know that God, in any form, was nothing to trifle with..

Week Two of Lotus’ weekly winners meme. Why this picture? Because this bit of blissful baby sleep is after he nursed all day long. Nursed. NURSED. Every. Time. All. Day. Not just a little snack, but like, “Good Lord, Mommy, where have these things been all my life?” And … because … he’s just beautiful in this shot … And it’s such a nice complement to *this* little raspberry blowing..

I got this award from Mrs. Flipphead – which is really humbling to me because she’s spent a whole lot of time talking me out of my crazy tree created by the head baby of Camp Sleep is for Losers. This week, this award is meant for two people. Which isn’t to say that they are the *only* two who I want to give this to, but this week, it’s.. Read More
Got tagged, twice which was funny, because I’d been thinking of answers to this meme – then got tagged and promptly forgot about all the genius things I’d thought of to say. Here are the rules: 1 – Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog. 2 – Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself. 3 – Tag seven random people at the.. Read More
There’s no way I’m going to be as eloquent as this topic deserves, but this post has been rolling around for a while, and today is the right day to set it to words. Please bear with me here. *** I started reading blogs while I was pumping. It gave me something to focus on to pass the time of the at least two hours a day I spend listening.. Read More
So while I’m virtually sitting vigil with Lotus while she waits for John to make his way through the heinous flight schedule he has – I get this email from my mom: Since it was about 70 degrees yesterday, the SNOW is melting when it hits the ground. And I laughed. Actually I’m still laughing. I’m giggling. I can’t help it. It just so ridiculous!
Last week I read this post, which was entertaining and aggravating because we’ve all been there, it totally sucks when you get stuck next to someone anal on an airplane. I clicked the link in the post … and when I saw what the link was about I got icky cold shivers and clicked away. And then I got curious and I clicked back. Then I put my fingers in.. Read More
