Ya’ll remember Mr. T right?
Anyway.
I woke up this morning with stuff to say.
Now, this isn’t a real problem for us, but occassionally when we go out I see looks of pity on people’s faces… and the comments. The comments do not get to me. (You know, “Bless your heart” type stuff. Like I’m a one [...]
Allow me to be self indulgent for a moment while I make a desperate attempt at pumping myself up for the day. I figure other tired mammas might need to hear it too!
Brent and I are learning about hard work, ya’ll. I thought that I knew a definition of “exhausted” but I’m finding out I [...]
I got stuck in a rut recently. Actually, it was a rather drawn out sort of thing.
I didn’t even realize it until I noticed some thoughts I was battling that I knew weren’t good. With Brent’s consent, I contacted a distant friend to ask for wisdom. She directed me to reconsider what I had been [...]
It could be the natural hormone balancing supplement I’ve been on talking, but…
Lately, my days seem marked with a merciful awareness of time passing very quickly. The nights are long {very very long} but the years are so {very very} short. The days are hairy, but seem a little less hairy, thanks to Lora’s well [...]
I’ve noticed through comments from a lot of my Mamma friends lately that we are ALL bedraggled and exhausted, and some of us really SUCK at mucking through the discouragement and finding some peace at the other end.
I don’t know about you, but I’m really good at complaining. I’m really good at huffing and yelling. [...]
…and He’s got the whooooooole thing in His hands.
Several months ago, extremely pregnant with Evie and feeling completely exhausted, lost, and swallowed up in this great big world, I really thought I knew what I needed.
I wanted peace. I wanted happiness. I wanted love. I wanted someone to come do my laundry. I wanted to [...]
{snort}
I snort because I personally do not like when other bloggers do weekend reading posts.
But if you miss the opportunity to read what is at these links, well, you’re crazy.
Are you a burnt out Mamma? Are you a confused wife? New Mamma? Heck… are you a girl?
Then you need to read these links, which I [...]
Sleep is not something that goes on a lot in this house for anyone under the age of 2 or over the age of 25 apparently. Brent and I sort of take turns being completely exhausted and last night was my turn. As an aside, can I mention that I think that an excellent addition [...]
I mean this in both a figurative sense and a literal sense. Because I was happily minding my own business in my Soap Sanctuary, slicing off ends of bulk soap logs and thinking of all the pretty arrangements I could make out of them to sell at our local Farmer’s Market… I wear latex gloves [...]
I’ve been stricken with mastitis again. This time a little worse than the last. Brent had to work yesterday and I really thought I was going to die right there on my bed, and prayed to God to provide a really great mamma for my babies. The kids played downstairs, ate out of the peanut [...]
