I have holiday issues.
I love the idea of holidays. I love to read about them, talk about them, plan for them. I’m just not very good at doing them. I’m like the nursing student who aces all the exams but falls apart on the floor the first day of her practical assignment. [...]

Hopeful

The night wasn’t as bad as I expected. Call me negative, but I always like to plan for the worst and then whatever happens is so much nicer than you thought it would be. Whatever this bug is, the yuckiest part of it is violent, but short-lived. Third Son is now resting [...]

Seven-year-old almost made it to the bathroom. (Mr. Man, I’m here to tell you, I am in a ballgame.) Sure wish I’d jumped right up and spread out towels as soon as I read Shannon’s suggestion. I read it five minutes before it would have come in handy.
I don’t expect to be [...]
Peace on earth

We sang this beautiful Christmas hymn during both of our services today and it did my heart good. I think it such a shame that most people grow up singing only the first verse of these great songs. Most have several verses, and you really must sing all the verses to get the [...]
Expectant

No, I’m not pregnant. (But I did enjoy imagining the many reactions to that title…)
A baby would be a wonderful thing to be expecting. This is a dreaded feeling of expectancy ~ stomach flu has entered the premises. Just yesterday I thought we had survived and were all on the mend. [...]
Seven Meadows Infirmary

Yup. We’re all presently a little under the weather.
It’s never fun to be sick, but the week before Christmas is a really inconvenient time to be sub-par. Especially when I am scheduled to accompany the soloist at a wedding tomorrow. Let’s hope we bounce back quickly!
I’ll be back when we’re well. [...]
I shopped ’til I dropped AGAIN

That makes three out of the last four days. That’s a record that I hope will stand until my final breath. I’m just not a shopper. I’m sorry, Mom, Shannon, Erin and Anne. I guess I got my shopping genes from Dad (who doesn’t have any).
I can’t tell you how much [...]
I shopped ’til I dropped

And considering that I did it on five hours’ sleep (or less, I was too tired to take an accurate count), I did very well indeed.
I no longer feel short of breath when I tally the number of days remaining until Christmas.
Mom, Token Sister and I headed to the Big City to do some major [...]
I’m on a roll

I’ve never been good at moderation.
I posted my first post over at WordPress. So far I really like what I see, but I have a few more freebies to try out first.
Not a creature was stirring…

My husband reads to our children every night before they go to sleep. We pray together in the living room and then everyone curls up in their own cozy bed and he sits in the hall between the bedroom doors and reads until most of them are asleep and he can barely keep his [...]
