If you happen to be struggling with controlling your emotions, and you carry a deep and abiding hope that when you become a mom it will help your wounded heart heal as you create a safe and happy life for this new little person, I recommend not watching the movie Waitress. If, however, you are […]

The past couple of weeks didn’t go quite how I had them planned. In my oh so logical way, I sat down and made myself a schedule of everything I wanted to get done for Christmas, and I have accomplished exactly nothing. This year we’re hosting a couple of Christmas parties at our place, and […]

I really wish I had a blackberry or an iphone that tapped directly in to my brain. Then, whenever I think about blogging, I could just *be* blogging. If that could happen, I’d be blogging so much the internet would be sick of me. I have stacks and stacks of things I’ve *meant* to blog […]

Normally, I suck at internet memes. I’m always bad about returning emails and blog comments, so this should really be no surprise. When Karen tagged me, I completely bailed. I’m sure I had some excuse, something must have been going on, something is always going on, but I totally flaked. This time, I magically got […]

As an extremely logical person, it’s been very difficult to lose my grasp on my emotions and all reality as this kid takes over my body and my sanity. I start crying at the most ridiculous things (as I’ve discussed). Yesterday at church a dad brought his daughter a tissue as she was speaking at […]

I’ve been home since Friday night and our little town of Vista is just fine. Every single town around us was at least partly evacuated and/or burned, but Vista was safe here in its little bubble. Since Friday I’ve just been getting back to life after abandoning it so unexpectedly. My word the fridge was […]

This has been kind of a stressful morning so far. From 3 am on, Bear’s cell phone would not stop ringing. The power went out at his facility, then they were concerned about how long it would last, then people were calling in saying they couldn’t make it to work, his boss was calling, yadda […]

This past weekend was our church’s bi-annual general conference, where we all watch a broadcast of the church leaders giving speeches. I always adore conference weekend. I love the peace and quiet of just sitting around the house with Bear, I love the meaty talks given, I love getting to listen to the prophet. This […]

I think it’s safe to say that pregnancy is kicking my butt. I naively hoped that, since for the rest of my life my health has been so ridiculously crappy, maybe I’d get to be one of those women who just blossom in pregnancy. The kind that glow, and feel great, and are just a […]

It’s a bad picture because I couldn’t seem to hold still what with the laughing and the crying, but we saw the little heart beat a chugging away in there. The angel nurse Louise who saved the day got me in to see another doctor, so Bear and I got there about 45 minutes before […]
