‘MOMMY, YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL….AND SMART.’ This came from Anna tonight. It was incredibly sweet and cool. Blew me away. Minded my boggle. She may have been flopping around the bed trying to avoid sleep, grasping for compliment straws, but still. I’ve never known how much to talk about her appearance. Some influences tell me that I …
I just keep re-watching the same shows that I know won’t break my heart. It’s absolutely a protective move, and it’s total weak sauce. I’m watching Rori graduate from college for the 14th time (“Gilmore Girls,” 4eva, no you’re a nerd, no one likes you, be quiet) and missing out on beautiful, insightful, triumphant new …
I’ve been devouring the 2nd season of the Amazon Prime original series, ‘Catastrophe.’ It’s an absolute revelation. I’ve never heard dialogue more accurate to how real relationships actually sound…or, at least, my relationship. These characters in the central relationship, they, too, express their adoration with brutal honesty, sarcasm, and kind of mean teasing. It’s my …
I had the opportunity to see two empowerng pieces of art this weekend. They got me thinking. (A terrible past time/I know). We re-watched ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens.’ This time, in 3-d (this technologically must be getting better, right? I wanted to hurl none times while viewing) and this time, we watched it with …
Lately, Anna is making herself into a pink everything. ‘I’M A PINK CAT.’ ‘I’M A PINK REINDEER.’ A few days ago she was a ‘PINK ZOMBIE’ and today, when she was talking about saving someone and I told her she was a hero, she said, ‘YES. I’M A PINK HERO.’ I know she’s only two. …

(i wish we had a cool moniker like “sarb” or “robbah.” please commence using those). things are pretty good. we’ve both been really turning to God lately and i’m finding some peace and even maybe some (gasp! what?) patience in Him. (on kind …
so, i know i’ve been bemoaning the fact that i’m almost 30 and all my little eggs have hatched and my fertility chances are going down every year, nay, every moment!! but….in the news we are hearing all the time about 40-50 year old women getting pregnant. at conception, we have kelly preson (47), holly …
so going back to work today and operating on someone to take the cancer out of their belly has me realizing (duh) that the world is moving on and that my problems aren’t really so insurmountable. despite my idle threats to harm myself in increasingly dramatic and unrealistic ways (shark attack, robots vs wrestlers, dueling …
so when i first entered this world of miscarriages/infertility, i felt like suddenly my eyes were opened to all the references in the media on the subject. like when you buy a new car, you start to see that car EVERYWHERE on the street (why are there so many canary yellow volkswagen routans with faux …
