On My Mind

April 18, 2008 at 1:48 pm · Filed under Becoming Me, Motherhood, Powerful Ponderings, Speechless

Go to www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com .  Since my pregnancy with Ellie, Trisomy 18 has remained a condition for which my heart aches.  And although my Ellie Kate was miraculously healthy, I sob each and every time I recall my brief experience with what it means to potentially carry a baby who is sick.  Audrey Caroline’s family recently experienced the loss of their newborn — Audrey had Trisomy 18. 

Please take a moment and say a prayer, think strengthening thoughts, send heart-felt love through the breezes ~ whatever it is that you do ~ for this family.  And then meditate on your own numerous blessings.  I’ve spent the month doing that myself and know that Audrey has truly left a legacy.  I am in awe of Audrey’s mother’s courage and honesty … and her words have made my mind and heart expand.  I am a better woman and mother having read her journey.

Monster Trucks Follow-up

April 18, 2008 at 1:23 pm · Filed under Becoming Me, Blogging Newbie, I Wonder ... Wednesday, Institutionalize Me Now

THREE MONSTER TRUCKS.

I kid you not.  It was unreal.  I think I’m living in the twilight zone.  Or another dimension.  Something. 

So, I missed my follow-up to “I Wonder … Wednesday” because my children came down with Hand, Foot, & Mouth disease.  Not a fun one for them, poor dears.  My son didn’t really eat much for a week — just chocolate milkshakes toward the end.  Oh, and rice.  The sores just hurt too much.  Miserable.  We are slowly coming out of our Scooby-Doo marathon and I am now making some conclusions.

Okay … so I have decided that I won’t make time for this in my life.  “This” being blogging.  It stresses me out.  I would much rather devote my attention and time to my children, which is the ENTIRE reason I am currently a stay-at-home mom.  I’ll check in with this, mind you.  And I’ll post things every now and again.  But I simply will not spend time on this at this point in my journey.  Sooo many other things to be doing.

This isn’t farewell … just stating it so I know where I stand with my place in the blogging world.  I don’t know how these superwomen do it.  I certainly cannot.

Question:

How many honest-to-god MONSTER TRUCKS do you pull up next to when picking your first-grader up from school?  And when I say “honest-to-god MONSTER TRUCKS”, I mean 1.) the wheels are taller than my 5′2″ frame, & 2.) the wheels are taller than my 5′2″ frame.

I’ll tell you how many I pull up next to next Wednesday.
