So it’s no secret that John and I have a child. One son. I have a son. (I heart saying this, so sorry for the repetition.) I pretty much dig him, enough that I stay home and stare at him all day long. Ok, so maybe I play with him [...]
This weekend was a peaceful one for me. John and I finally got to go to the temple, which I haven’t done since before I was sick and pregnant. For about a year now I haven’t been able to go anywhere with ease, especially places that required me to sit for long periods of time [...]
*Warning, long and rambly.
While visiting with a close friend last week I was asked the question, “So what is a day like for you?” She meant now that I’m a SAHM, now as opposed to what I’ve been up to for the last few years. It’s really only been since August that I’ve embraced the [...]
Before I gave birth I gave the actual birth/babyhood of Jesus only a cursory thought. It happened. He was born, he was a baby. Mary was his mother. This Christmas it’s very different for me. As I listen to the hymns and contemplate Mary riding a donkey into Bethlehem I think about how I could [...]
So I’m finally going to post on Proposition 8. Not because I’ve figured anything out, because I haven’t. Not because I have any say that I think other people need to listen to, because I don’t. Not because John posted on it today (I’ve actually been working on this for awhile…), but that’s not the [...]
No work for me today. Yesterday the newbie and I got through everything that needed to be done, and seeing as how I was feeling rather extraordinarily pregnant I thought that today might be a good day for her to fly solo and get some rest for myself. (Payroll starts Monday.) Last night was another [...]
And welcome to September. I can’t believe it’s September. This month, this very month, John and I will have a child. It’s kind of crazy to think about. I’ll get to posting more of my thoughts on September, I’m sure, but first there are some others things I wanted to write. Warning: The following is [...]
Well there goes Monday. It was kind of “a day.” I think it started out slow because it was super dark outside- and I would have paid half a million dollars to not have to go to work on time. But alas- to work I went. I’m trying to appreciate it [...]
Yesterday was such a good day, for the most part. If you read my next post, you can see that I also had to deal with some drama and emotional stuff that was in many ways NOT fun, but I don’t want to skip over the good parts.
I slept amazingly well Saturday night. [...]
Today was conference day. John, Jonathan and I were able to attend the Saturday afternoon session. Let me just tell you, LAST time we tried this is was a wee unsuccessful. We showed up before they were “meant” to give our seats away…but found that the “rules” didn’t seem to hold with regard to greedy [...]
