raincoats on kittens

today’s not the best day ever.  i can’t breathe out of my nose, and for the first time zicam isn’t working, and it always works.  plus luke is watching the cowboys at his house (i never did like football season). so, to cheer myself up, i’m going to make a list of some of my [...]

how ’bout a round of applause

tuesday night was Adreyene’s 5th birthday party. i can’t believe she’s so old! i can’t believe life moves so fast.
as we were eating dinner in the living room, i hear adreyene’s best friend from the dining room say, “hey your nickname could be  WEINER! you know like adreyene WEINER!” and i laughed so hard i [...]

free time

i like that i have time right now to be on the couch on the computer still in my work clothes and look up and realize for the first time that it’s dark in here.  i love that time moves without me noticing.  i’m sure one day i’ll hate that, like when i have kids.

i’ll be found in you

or i’m up late at night by myself looking at old pictures,
i get an actual physical feeling in my chest– like my heart is swelling.  it’s the same [...]

wow, what a week.
tuesday, a girl at ms. mac’s died in a car crash… she was 3 years old.
and i’m trying, stupidly, to figure out how God is being glorified in this.
i’m thinking, does the intense grief that her parents (not to mention everyone else who loved her) are feeling glorify the Lord?
or is it [...]

wah-mburger and french cries

so this is going to be whiny… you might not even want to read it:
man, being sick sucks.  it sucks to be at home when everyone else is enjoying their last few weeks of summer. it sucks to have all of these symptoms at the same time: fever, headache, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, aches, [...]
