Well, I started this post this afternoon while I was trying to stay awake, and now everyone is in bed and I’m falling asleep at the computer, so it will be short. I wanted to try to get some pics up and just let you all know that we are doing well. The days are good–Asher does not […]
Hey, I’m back to the normal blog! We’re home now, and the agency said we’re free to share pics publicly online now. (We still like to maintain some privacy, so please avoid referencing our last name or hometown.) I know you all must be thinking I’m obsessed with blogging every detail. You’re kind of right! […]
Hey friends! So, from now until we are home from Thailand in mid June, I will not be blogging here. I’ll be blogging at http://www.brazenlillybaby.wordpress.com and it is password protected. The password is my maiden name, all lower case letters. If you don’t know it, but want to follow along, you can email me at […]
So, in case you haven’t heard, forget everything I said about the private blog sitch. It was much ado about nothing. After messing around with all the settings, the permissions, and preparing to manually enter in over 200 email addresses of wonderful and supportive friends & family, I found out blogger only allows you to […]
Just a reminder: the blog is going private next week! I’ve loved hearing from so many of you–it took a drastic measure to get some of you to de-lurk! Ha! You will need an invite to view the private blog. Just leave a comment with your email address, let me know on Facebook, or email […]
Hey all! Good news–I haven’t had an emotional meltdown this week! I did, however, make the mistake of going into babies r us for “just one thing” for which I had a gift card. Turns out it’s not just for babies, there is plenty of fun stuff for toddlers, and it also reminds me of […]
If you only read this blog and never talk to me in person, you probably think I’m an emotional wreck right now, a complete roller coaster. Well, OK, if you’ve talked to me in person lately, you might think that too! But today I’m feeling very joyful. Partly for myself, b/c look at these two […]
So, guess who has two thumbs and is going to Thailand this month? THIS GIRL! I kind of can’t believe it. Oh boy, I have a lot to do! A friend asked me the other day: what is my primary emotion when I think of leaving so soon. I said my primary emotion is nervousness […]
Oh, people. You are so kind to me. I should publicly document my emotional breakdowns more often, b/c ya’ll rose to the task of talking this mama down from the ledge. Seriously, thank you for all your comments, both here and on Facebook, the hugs in real life, and also the many private texts and messages […]
I hinted in the last post that my emotional state has not been uber-peachy lately. I think each of us in our family is dealing with the wait and the looming transition in different ways. Unfortunately, each of my kids is going through some really difficult behavioral seasons. I know this in and of itself […]
