Feeling a pinch better today; a bit more energy. I’ve been so exhausted. My head has been cloudy. Life blurry. Sluggin’ along one day at a time. I’ve lost all concept of days and time and when things happened. The past three months has been a bit crazy. I think the pain medication I was [...]

Lord, grant me
Time enough
to do all the chores, join in the games, help with the lessons, and say the night prayers, and still have a few moments left over for me.
Energy enough
to be bread-baker and breadwinner, knee-patcher and peacemaker, ballplayer and bill juggler.
Hands enough
to wipe away the tears, to reach out when I’m needed, to [...]

We’ve been up for two hours now…and my house is destroyed. Some days…is all I can do to keep my sanity in tact. She is the busiest, craziest, most curious, messy little cherub I have ever met. Course she’s the only one I’ve ever lived with, too. But today…in less than two hours, she has [...]

Props back to the Canadian Bald Guy for the verbal appreciation towards single mama jugglers. Can’t get enough of those kinda affirmations. Really. Most days I feel like I’m doing a mediocre job at best because productivity and the best job possible are REALLY difficult to do on a perpetually empty tank. Yes, the little [...]

Living in the ‘Now’

The only thing that stays the same is…everything changes.
I’m a pretty spontaneous person; like to fly by the seat of my pants. But I also have discovered a comfort in regiment. Schedules. I think the toddler helped me realize this. It is a balance that I cannot seem to get or keep balanced and [...]

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children [...]
