The sun is shining

Life here at the house of perpetual mess is good, praise the Lord! I'm feeling well, the girls are mostly happy, and we are blessed beyond measure. I am tired, of course, but knowing that it's because of the life inside me makes it bearable. That, and the knowledge that as soon as we're finished with lunch, I'm going to crash out on the guest bed for the mother of all naps!
Seriously though, I don't wish away the tiredness, the nausea, or the tantrums. Before I know it, I won't be pregnant, and I'll long for it. Soon, the girls will grow out of their illogical tantrums, and I'll remember fondly how silly it all seemed.
 
So for today, regardless of what it looks like outside, in my life - the sun is shining!
 
What is the weather like in your life today?
 
XOXO,
Sarah

OH my dear...
It's partly cloudy with a chance of Leaks (from my eyes!).
Jack has been up since 4 AM for no apparent reason. Which means, I got even less sleep than usual, which makes me cranky.
And, I fear I'm catching a cold.
And, I wish I could hug you and help you.
The sun will come out tomorrow?!

Still tickled about your pregnancy..I want to send you a package...tell me some things you really miss from here.

What a relief!

I have a hard time keeping secrets. Not other people's secrets, but my own. So when I have a secret, I really want to broadcast it to the world. The last 5 days have been incredibly difficult for me, but finally I can tell everyone.   I am indeed, as my sister eloquently put it, with child. Well, given the title of my blog I'm usually with child, but specifically, my uterus is with child again.   It's truly amazing how even just the knowledge that you are pregnant can change your perceptions. Monday, I didn't know. It didn't even cross my mind. Tuesday morning, I didn't know. Tuesday afternoon, I know. And all of a sudden, I'm exhausted and nauseated. Physically, I am no different, really from Monday to today. But mentally, emotionally? My world has been officially rocked!   XOXO, Sarah

Where Do We Go Next?

The truth is, nobody really knows what happens next.  At the stroke of midnight,  people will celebrate the close of a year that has felt absolutely interminable. We all hope things get better, we talk about how we are hopeful - but what are we going to DO to make it better? I'm a storyteller. In the words that I write, in the food I prepare, in singing, in decorating my home, in my garden. Until now, much of my storytelling has been reflective, introspective. In this new year, I want to tell stories that bring us together. I'm stepping out of my own head, and writing words that tell the story of courageously walking towards that big fat question mark.  What happens next? Don't know, and it doesn't matter. I'm stepping out to meet it no matter what it is. I'm not hiding behind pretty words for another day of my life.  What would my life be like if I finished my certificate and got a job at a school? I don't know, but I'm doing it anyway. What would it fe

Please understand

I know I haven't been very communicative lately, and trust me - there's a really REALLY good reason. I'll be able to spill the beans in a few days' time, but until then, it's really hard for me to write anything without giving anything away. So, as soon as possible, I'll be back to normal blogging practices, boring the daylights out of you all with my inane stories of poop, pee, and other hilarious bodily functions. :-)   XOXO, Sarah
