Patience is one of the keys to my inner peace. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don’t. Baby’s eating habits are testing my patience lately. She’s become quite expert at eating, but when she doesn’t want a certain food, she sends it flying. This morning after the pear made its way over the edge of …
Tonight I kind of felt like writing about appearance. Specifically, how I wish I could be okay with the way I look, dress, etc., instead of being disappointed on a regular basis for not taking care of my appearance. On the other hand, I could write about things that are a lot more important. Global …
I’m feeling some peace today. Not quite sure why, but it’s good. I’m quite exhausted – early mornings with no nap – but feel okay about it. Girlie is sick (a cold) but we’re dealing with it. The drive to/from work, while still not really fun, has a lot more moments of calm lately as …
This moment is only here now. And each moment and each day, I don’t live up to my hopes for being a mother. But I also love and treasure the moments (most moments – some are not quite so much fun!). Like earlier today, out doing errands, carrying and loving my daughter but still carting …
Today was a day. Not stellar. Husband wasn’t feeling well (headache). The day felt long and blah. However, I did get to go on a 3-hour outing with baby. Actually not so bad! It was car-free day downtown so we walked and saw some people and left husband home to clean the house etc. Some …
I think this is my 68th post. Over 2 months of blogging once/day. Yay! I’m feeling a little burnt out! Sometimes I have things to say. Sometimes I don’t. And rarely do I have a big chunk of time to reflectively write. Sometimes, that’s my fault. Like tonight. Baby in bed by 8. Not much …
I wish my recent posts were a bit more uplifting. However, I’m feeling more pulled in too many directions. With high points, but tired at the end. Saw the dermatologist this morning. Helpful to see an expert; helpful information. Basically we’re going to continue the food elimination but try and do it as quickly as …
Today is International Day of Peace. I must admit that I did not feel very peaceful much of the day. Rushing out of the house in the morning. At my mom’s my car broke down: a hose that my husband and BIL had temporarily fixed burst, leaking fluid all over. I was angry, mainly at …
I feel blogged out tonight. Lots going on. Cutie girl in the bed. Work is busy, good and challenging. House is in order. Bills to pay. Interesting websites to read. Reading an old conversation on facebook with a friend – didn’t realize we’d written so much goign back to 2007 and it’s a really interesting …
Picture this: A petite 11-month-old girl standing at the top of the stairs, holding on to the security gate with both hands. Shaking that gate. Banging her head back and forth. And screaming at the top of her lungs. I need more of that. Hanging out with my girl helps. She makes me laugh more …
