Ups and Downs

Ups and Downs

September 17, 2014

Life seems to be full of roller coaster moments, lots of ups and downs. I guess you can’t know the ups without the downs, but I much prefer the ups. Four months ago I was in the hospital on bed rest. Three and a half months ago I had a c-section. Two and half weeks…

A…….Rant

May 6, 2011

Life with ADHD isn’t impossible, it even has its upsides. I’ve spent the last 7 years learning more about what ADHD is and what it isn’t; how to help cope with the challenges and even how to have some glimmers of success. I’m grateful for this knowledge, and one day I’ll be grateful for the…

Falling Behind: Drowning Style

January 22, 2010

Anyone watching the weather lately knows the southwest has been hit with a monster storm bringing a lot of rain, and wind. We actually had a tornado warning last night and reports of a few touching down in the valley. My home has been blessed to receive a more mild dose of this crazy storm.…

How Good We Have It

January 5, 2010

It’s easy to complain. It’s too easy too complain. In fact, it’s downright effortless. Even surrounded by countless blessings, one can find themselves huddled in a corner counting off their inconveniences and missing objects. I was reminded of this tonight. It started with going to the movie with my daughter. She’s reaching the age where…

Signs of Growth

November 30, 2009

I really don’t need any signs to tell me my kids are growing, but as I reviewed some pictures this morning I couldn’t help but see the obvious signs staring back at me. Barbie dolls used to be a favorite thing. Now it’s all about making quilts. Plastic tool toys used to hold his interest…

PacMan, Bakugan, and Footballs – Oh My!

October 13, 2009

I can’t resist sharing this photo of Tay a few days ago before his haircut. It seems to fit perfectly with the title of today’s post too! We had the pleasure of enjoying Grandma and Grandpa’s company last night so we threw in a little early birthday celebration fun. I wish I could put into…

Fear

September 10, 2009

Fear: (noun) a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. This is a dictionary definition of the word fear. I hope I can put into words, the feelings of my heart today. There’s so much I want to say…

Here’s Looking At You

September 3, 2009

She keeps growing without permission. I find myself looking back at what felt like yesterday, even though the calendar says different, and wondering if I’ve given her everything I wanted to. I can’t help but think about life before my Cidderbug and how grateful I was to finally get her in my arms. Now she’s…

Comfort Zones

August 28, 2009

There’s a lot to be said for comfort zones, both for and against them. On one hand they’re our adult security blanket that can help us feel secure and safe. On the other, they can become a barrier and stunt growth. Several years ago, my husband and I made a painful (and previously yo-yo process)…

Crossing Paths

August 21, 2009

This morning I sat down to my computer and found a welcome surprise; a note in my inbox indicating to me that something simple I shared here helped someone else. “HI I don’t know you from anyone and neither you me, but I just wanted to say we have a common friend, Jesus, who knew…
