Last night I realized that this is the first birthday that I’ve had since being single (including the two years that I was alone but still technically married) that I haven’t had a “poor me, I’m so lonely” moment. My situation hasn’t really changed, so I guess I have. I think I’m just too busy [...]

Happy birthday…

… to me.

I had a good day, other than the fact that I had to work all day. Honestly I didn’t accomplish much anyway. I just wasn’t in a working mood. I had lunch with some friends from church and that made my day special. Shiloh and I spent our evening being lazy and watching [...]

A Week’s Worth of Posts

I should really be in bed right now… But I’m not, so I might as well blog about it.
I’ve been extremely busy lately. (Surprise, surprise.) Just the usual: working, being a mom, college, church, family stuff, household chores (sometimes), etc. I’m worn out. Right now I’m to the point that I just don’t feel like [...]

school, school, and more school

Tonight there really isn’t any rhyme or reason to my post. I’ve been a bad blogger, but I’ve been trying to juggle so many things. So here are a few random things from my life recently… Wow, an hour ago, when I was driving home from a movie, I had twenty different things I wanted [...]

Trust

Tonight it crossed my mind how dependent children are on us. And how trusting. It’s almost scary.
Shiloh was sleeping in her room and I was doing homework in the living room. She woke up and started crying, and I could tell it was her scared cry. As soon as I picked her up, she was [...]

Another Meme: Part 2

31. What’s the first thought in your head when you wake up?  “Why did I stay up so late?”
32. Biggest Pet Peeve?  Staring.  I hate when people stare at me for no reason.  I’ve been so tempted to stare back at people when they do that, or make faces at them, but I’m trying to [...]

Another Meme: Part 1

Here is another meme that I stole from Dan.  It’s sixty questions, but I’m going to make it a two parter, simply because you guys know how long winded I can be.
1. What is the geekiest part of your music collection?  You mean other than Veggie Tales?  Hmmm…  All of my music is awesome.  Hehe.  [...]

I Am…

I stole this meme from Dan.
I am…
a Christian, a mother, a dreamer, a realist.  
I want…
a whole new wardrobe.  (And a new body to go with it.) 
I have…
so much to be thankful for.
I wish…
I had more time to spend with Shiloh.
I hate…
pork.  (Blah!)
I fear…
almost everything.
I hear…
the tv in the background.
I search…
for quiet moments.
I wonder…
what my [...]

Early Mid-Life Crisis?

Maybe not.  But I feel like I’m changing.  I don’t recognize myself lately.  I never in a million years ever considered becoming a teacher, and now I’m about to start working toward my teaching degree.  (Yes, I still want to do the librarian thing, but one step at time people.)
When I was in my early [...]

The Way My Brain Works

What I’m thinking when I walk into the gym:  “Don’t be intimidated by all the pretty people.  Don’t be intimidated by all the pretty people…”
Seriously, is there some rule that you have to be a size 2 and gorgeous before you join a gym?
