These Are the Moments
That I want to always remember. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her laugh that hard.
Afraid of Happiness
I am afraid to be happy.
There. I’ve said it. I’ve written it. It’s true.
I have come to realize several things about myself in recent weeks. Some are small things. Some are not. I am not entirely sure what to do with these self revelations yet. Right now they are slowly unwinding, like thread from a spool. What I do know is that I seem to have an inability to relax. A need to constantly hold my breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for some unknown, horrific event that will once again shatter my world. There… Continue reading
Friday Rants
I have spent a large portion of this entire week irritated by one thing or another. Is it really too much to ask that the world gets a clue? Apparently so, and it doesn’t look as though it is going to happen anytime soon anyway. So what’s been chapping my ass this week, you ask? Ok, maybe you didn’t ask, but seeing as how this is my blog, I’m gonna tell you anyway.

For Renee & Lion
My dear friend Issa’s friend Renee today got the news they’ve been waiting for forever.
Renee and her husband have been trying to adopt a little boy from Ethiopia, little Lion. He’s spent 365+days of his life away from them. Days that had to be hard for all. But that’s all over with now. Today they got the news that they passed all the criteria to make that little boy their own. Soon they will fly to pick him up and bring him home where he belongs.
For any mommy, being away from your baby is hard. I’m glad for… Continue reading
Weekend Roundup
Disclaimer: This is a cop-out post. The one that is going in place of anything deep and meaningful because I don’t have the energy. I am coming to terms with some things that I had hoped weren’t true, but in the end I can’t deny reality. It’s sad and it hurts, but I’m facing it at last. I just can’t write about it yet.
So, because I know every single one of you got up this morning with the same burning question on your mind “What did Jenna do this weekend?” I am here to answer that question.
Things that… Continue reading
How Long Before She Demands Perrier Water With a Twist?
I discussed a while back my challenges with getting Ava to eat. We went through about three weeks with her eating very little at all. I know all toddlers hit that “Hell no I don’t want to eat, I have better things to do” stage. However, Ava was losing weight. That became a concern.
I turned, as usual, to my Twitter gals, who plied me with ideas for us to try. After discovering that my little non eater was nursing a stomach virus (that she passed to me, thankyouverymuch) we worked on getting her over that and then tried to… Continue reading
Content
Vigorous waves crashing mightily on the rocks only feet from my open window.
Plush bed soft and inviting.
Reading, reading without interruption or guilt.
Peace.
Who You Calling Skeered?
Today’s GTT topic blows the lid off our fears…what we are afraid to do. My list isn’t terribly long. But the few things that push me to the edge of insanity are pretty intense to me.
So what am I afraid of?
Spiders and snakes of any shape, size, color or venomous capability. They simply make me lose my shit. Hardcore. Once when I was around 16 or so, I was walking across our front yard after having been to the neighbor’s house. Halfway to our front porch, I saw something coiled up on the lawn. It only took… Continue reading
Giving the Readers What They Want
Never let it be said I’m not a fan of the people. Someone told me today I should put more videos here in order to keep my readers entertained. This person also stated that he/she was more of a visual learner. Well, come closer and listen carefully, young Padawan….I have a message for you.
