The Day I Took a Pregnancy Test at Big Y

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 [...]

Peace and Post Itchy

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 [...]

What do you do during the day?

*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 [...]

Christmastime with a Little Baby Boy

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 [...]

What I Think

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 [...]

All Work and No Play is Not What Erin Did Today

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 [...]

Moods That Take Me

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 [...]

A Good Sunday

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. [...]

One Saturday

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 [...]
