Today I realized I haven’t really written about the pandemic. How odd. I suppose I haven’t had much time. Some people, I’m told, have taken up hobbies, worked out, read tons of books, learned a language, not me. I’ve taken up educating and entertaining my children 72-80 hours a week. I’m tired. But today, for … Continue reading
My son is sitting across from me doing Math-U-See. Doing this for a month and a half very very sporadically and never forcing him to keep going after his interest wanes, we’ve accomplished 88 pages of work that’s 20% of the total coursework for math for his kindergarten year. Currently he is crossing out the … Continue reading
That word still pings around in my head. Contributor. I’m a contributor, failure; I’m unambitious, lazy, selfish. These, and many others, I have been called for being a stay at home mom. You’d think moms would have this amazing thread tying them together, something so much bigger than us that binds us all in some … Continue reading
In the bathroom with sound cancelling headphones with my daughter crying outside the door, that’s where I’m at now. Crying and overwhelmed as she cries and screams on the floor feet from me, in my arms it makes no difference. For months and months I went to her for every whimper and when I held … Continue reading
Back into the den of lions, I mean the church. Last week was Gavin’s first time going to a church of our choosing. He has been to my parents church for Christmas Eve service. Who doesn’t love Christmas Eve service? The candles, the songs, the sermon about why you shouldn’t give presents, aw the fond … Continue reading
He took me to two different parks in the area to illustrate his point. They were school parks. One had a very high fence all the way around it. The other had no fence. They were about equally close to the roads near them and they were both covered with grass. The patterns of wear … Continue reading
When it started, it felt like a stomach ache. Every once in a while it was a just a little stomach ache. They were about five minutes apart. Normally that’s when they tell you to head to the hospital, but if all went well I wasn’t going to end up there at all. We called … Continue reading
“All I see are stepford-like lives Needles and knives, beautiful lies Bringing out the green in your eyes Perfect disguise for envy and pride Face me Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me You can judge me, love me If you’re hating me, do it honestly” ~Kelly Clarkson One way or … Continue reading
As many of you know, I attended 12 years of Christian school. The only year I wasn’t in Christian school I was home-schooled. That was a joke to be discussed at another time. I have many interesting stories from my years in church school. No, literally, both the schools I attended were in churches. My … Continue reading
Shifting perspectives is something that I strive for everyday. How can I look at this a different way? How would someone else look at this? Where am I limitation-wise? What is currently keeping me from seeing this a different way? These questions have shaped every aspect of my theology and therefore my life. The root … Continue reading
