Forgive me internets, I have sinned. I totally skipped yesterday. Ditched. There came a point where I decided I’d rather miss it, I’d rather feel sad I hadn’t done it, than do it. I was hooked on a TV show instead. Criminal Minds. I’ve never seen that one before, as often as I’ve tried to … Continue reading April 29, 2016 Five for Friday

April 27, 2016 Confessions
Tonight I’m writing from a coffee shop, trying to process my thoughts enough to come up with something coherent to say. I’m a little all over the map. Writing helps me sort it all out and get my head organized. I’ve got my laptop and cranberry-orange-ginger-lemongrass iced tea occupying the table I’m sharing with a … Continue reading April 27, 2016 Confessions
April 26, 2016 – stream of consciousness/curiosity
6:45am: Today is a cleaning day. It MUST be a cleaning day. Last Tuesday was supposed to be cleaning day and it turned out, it wasn’t. This weekend there were supposed to be several cleaning hours and as it turned out, there weren’t. Today must be a cleaning day. If I say this to myself … Continue reading April 26, 2016 – stream of consciousness/curiosity
April 25, 2016 Parenting is hard
You guys. Parenting is hard. I don’t have to tell you this. You already know this. You’ve got kids. You are a parent. Anyone who is a parent knows it’s hard. Nothing really goes the way you expect it will. You figure you’ll be crafty and fun and understanding and your kids will get it. … Continue reading April 25, 2016 Parenting is hard
April 22, 2016 – Five for Friday
It’s been gorgeously warm and sunny all week. This morning we opened the windows to crazy wind, tons of rain and dark, dark skies. Enough that I’ll actually drive the kids to school - which is a pretty rare occurrence. We live in Oregon after all, a little rain on our heads is to be … Continue reading April 22, 2016 – Five for Friday
April 21, 2016
I’ve got nothing today. It’s Thursday again and I’m tired again. Ready to spend the rest of the day on the couch under a blanket catching up on my shows/movies I’ve been meaning to watch. I’m showing up and writing filler. Words with no real meaning or interest, because I never committed to writing meaningful … Continue reading April 21, 2016
April 20, 2016 (In which the subject of napping requires me to dust off my soapbox)
It’s interesting to me that when I post things about church experiences I get the most response. Some people comment, some message me, and some talk about it when I run into them later on. I wonder why it is that church posts elicit this more than anything else so far? (You should know that … Continue reading April 20, 2016 (In which the subject of napping requires me to dust off my soapbox)
April 19, 2016 Anyone for tennis? (spirituality as a singles sport)
Christianity is a team sport. - tons of pastors all over the place I hear that and it makes me think I’m wrong. That I’m somehow messed up because I don’t want to be part of a big group of people. I prefer single sports over team sports. I’d much rather play tennis, or swim, … Continue reading April 19, 2016 Anyone for tennis? (spirituality as a singles sport)
April 15, 2016 – Five for Friday
I love sleeping in. I absolutely adore sleep. I think I should always let it be the boss of me. Ahhhhh...so much better. Today’s Five for Friday is sponsored by my children being home from school and being a bit rambunctious and seemingly devoid of any memory of how life actually works in our little … Continue reading April 15, 2016 – Five for Friday
April 14, 2016 – Narrated
The raindrop landed on my head. I had known it was going to rain, and I had my jacket, but I didn’t pull up my hood. It was just a few drops. I liked it. When I turned back I felt the wind that had been at my back. It wasn’t as nice on my … Continue reading April 14, 2016 – Narrated
