Hey Diddle Diddle

Is it Monday again already?

I had a very enjoyable weekend.  Blew my diet.  Didn't work out.  So this morning, I had a face off with the scale.  I think I'll weigh in on Wednesday when I've been good for a couple days.  Note to self, next time I get pregnant, let's not gain a bajillion pounds. 


So good news, Haley slept another 5 hours straight last night.  We have a pretty good schedule down.  Today, my 5 week old fit into a 3M onesie.  This, I was not okay with.  She is growing way to fast.

Apparently she smiles.  Never at me.  Nope.  Not the one that sacrificed her body for 9 months; sole provider of food; the one whom sacrifices sleep; changer of the diapers.  Nope, won't smile at momma.  In fact, she generally seems unhappy anytime I am holding her and not feeding her.  I tried reading her a book last night before bed.  She started screaming in the middle of "Hey Diddle Diddle" so I put the book away for another day.

We are officially starting our cloth diapering adventure.  Wahoo.  So far, not too shabby.  I just can't believe she finally fits them.  The upside.  They are super cute.  I like trying to match her diaper to her outfit.  The down side, she is more fussy.  As soon as she is wet she wants changed.  I don't mind, what else do I have to do but change diapers.  I am hoping this means, in the future, she will potty train quickly. I mean, who really loves to chill in their own urine and poopies anyways?  Not I, that's for sure.

On to other, non-baby related news.  Remember earlier in the year when we decided to put our house under construction?  Well, we hired some real winners to come and do some flooring for us--and a tile shower.  Flooring turned out fine, tiled shower..not so much.  In fact, I think a second grader could have done a better job.  Muchas Gracias.  After some investigation, we discovered that if we had used the tile shower, there would be a huge possibility that the shower would leak into the bottom level, as the floor and drain was not done properly.   So we hired a more reliable tile person to re-do the tiled shower for us.  Tomorrow, I have been promised, the shower will FINALLY be finished.  Fantastic!  We have been using our hallway bathroom for 6 months now.  I'm so over it.

I am also getting the itch to paint again.  I'm thinking the hallway bath is next on my painting agenda.  It is going to need a good scrub down when we move back into our master bathroom anyways..why not paint the dang thing.  The problem is, it takes me a good while to finally commit to a color.  We shall see...

Anyways, my little one is waking up from her nap.  That is my cue......

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
