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 [...]

WW: Field Trip

Well, this week is midterms. Which means that I’m halfway through my first semester! It also means I’m too busy to even write this post right now. So… I will hopefully get the chance to write a few real (non-school related) posts sometime after I survive this week. I’m also hoping to visit all of your blogs. [...]

a Day at the Park

Usually I have too much to say. But I think these pictures speak for themselves.

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 [...]

WW

It is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.

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 [...]

WW: Cousins

Saturday night I had a girl’s night with my cousins.  When we were younger, it was just us girls, hanging out.  Now we have a few additions.  But it’s good for everyone.  We still get to hang out and talk, and the kids get a chance to play.  Yeah, it’s harder to watch a movie [...]

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 [...]

Puke Patrol

So I’ve been on puke patrol the last couple days.  Wednesday morning I woke up at 5am to Shiloh throwing up all over my bed.  And herself.  And me.  I don’t even remember her coming to my room that night.  Normally she stays in her own bed.  It would have been so much easier to [...]

WW: A Makeover Story

Last Saturday my family got together just because.  Shiloh’s cousin (really my cousin’s little girl, but I just call her Shiloh’s cousin, not third cousin or whatever) Ashlynn was there and the girls love playing together.  Ashlynn would be the closest thing Shiloh has to a sister.  Ashlynn is just five months older (Ashlynn 3 [...]
