Hi! We made it through another week!

Friday

What is it about Friday that ends all funks?

Ok, that’s not exactly true. Out-of-town friends visiting with their 4 month old, chubby cheeked, squishy baby obviously helped the most.  Aptly timed, with a Wednesday evening arrival 😉

Tiny coos and cuddles make everything better, right?

So yes, I’m out of my bad mood.  My last post was so much more depressing than I prefer to write.  I was having a bad day, like so many before it, and just thought that rather than avoiding my blog until everything was wonderful, I should share a piece of reality.  I don’t do that often enough and I thought it might lift my spirits to put myself out there a little.

Plus, I want to be real.  No one’s life is neat and perfect 99.99999…% of the time.  In fact, I believe most of us live big, bright, shiny, beautiful disasters of lives.  As kids know so well, the messier we live, the better.

When I said, “I’ve felt like this for a few weeks now,” I was talking more about feeling lost, not depressed, thankfully.  That might have been a little misleading.

There are a lot of possible changes in our family’s future and I’m having a little trouble sorting out my role in it all.  I know that’s vague.  I’m not trying to be cryptic, there are just decisions layered upon actions and things that have to fall into place before we will even know what’s going to happen.  So that’s all you get for now…

But, it’s the weekend!  And the sun is out and the air is crisp and the temperature is pretty perfect!

Happy Friday!  Now get outside and make your own discoveries… Yes, too much Dinosaur Train on PBS.

    Yay for Friday! It IS absolutely gorgeous out. Amazing what sunshine on the skin can do. And chubby babies always make me smile. Have a great weekend.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
