randomness

I think facebook has spoiled me. I noticed today that when I’m reading a blog, and I like something that was said, but I don’t really want to leave a comment, I start looking for a “like” button.

I’m really starting to stress about Shiloh’s face. The spot on her cheek is only about the size [...]

I Need A Break!

July has been a weird month for me.  Nothing extremely big or exciting going on, but it just feels different somehow.  I don’t think I’ve been in bed before 1am (sometimes later) all month, so that could be part of my problem. 
I’ve been tired.  I’ve had a hard time focusing on anything.  I’ve gotten behind [...]

My “Four Day Weekend”

Hi guys!  I’m still here.  What a weekend! 
**********
I went to court Friday to terminate my ex’s parental rights, and to change both mine and Shiloh’s last names to my maiden name.  It was mostly long and boring because I had to wait about two hours for my turn.  The judge kept pushing my case back.  [...]

The “Perfect” Mother

I’ve decided that the “perfect mom” is some mythical creature that no one has ever seen or can hope to become.  Right up there with unicorns and elves and fairies.  (Don’t tell Shiloh that fairies aren’t real.  She’ll be heartbroken.) 
The thing is, ever since Shiloh was born, I’ve been trying so hard to do everything [...]

Perceptions

** Wrote this one  a few weeks ago, but never published it.  Decided to post it today, since I don’t have anything new to write about. **
Sometimes I wonder what other people think of me.  Particularly in my church and other Christian circles.  I hesitate to even write these words, because I know that not [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope all the mothers out there are having a good, relaxing day.  Mine has pretty much been the normal routine for a Sunday.  Church, out to lunch, and home.  We had more family time yesterday.
Yesterday I went out and got my hair cut with my mom and then went to dinner with my family.  [...]

Shiloh

What a week!  I am so glad it’s Friday.  Seriously, more than usual.  It’s been a stressful week.  I don’t have much to write, so I thought I’d catch you up on Shiloh’s latest antics.  (I’ll apologize now for anyone on twitter that might have already heard most of this.  I’m really low on blog [...]

More Thoughts On Relationships

* I originally wrote this back in February as the second part to this post.  For some reason, I just never published this second half.  I’m posting it tonight because I need to post something, and I don’t have much of interest to say.  Plus I don’t want to waste my quiet Sunday evening (Shiloh fell [...]

Random Stuff

Friday afternoon we had some bad storms in middle TN.  We had warnings and maybe (?) even a couple tornadoes sighted in our town, but a city near us got hit really hard.  Two deaths and I think close to one hundred homes destroyed.  Scary stuff.
Thank God more people weren’t hurt.  I was just watching some [...]

Random Stuff

I’m really stressed and restless today, but I can’t pinpoint exactly why.  I feel like I’m ready to jump out of my skin, for lack of a better example.  I know it’s still early in the day, so my mood could be totally different in a few hours. 
I had some crazy dreams last night.  Not bad [...]
