catch up

Lots of things to catch up on :)


Sethie went to the doctor for shots and a checkup--he is now 5 months old...weighs 17 lbs and is 26 inches tall!! The doctor is happy with his growth. He has met all of his developmental milestones so far like rolling over some, grasping things with 2 hands, babbling, etc. She said that we are in the clear to start baby food !! So, the first thing we tried was today...SWEET TATERS!! (That's sweet potatoes to all my Northern friends!)... He absolutely LOVES his bouncer and will spend mucho time in it and wears himself out. *See pic below. I've got more pics to post from my phone. They should be updating now.

I've been working on a few crafts from home that I'm really proud of am I think I'll be able to sell to some little boutiques in the area. Hopefully, make a dollar or two ! I'm reading Elizabeth Edwards' first book now called Saving Graces...and it's good but not as good as her second one. I already have "The Politician" waiting on my bookshelf to read. It's kindof a sad little saga...but interesting. I sent her a card, did I tell you guys. Just thanking her for writing a powerful and empowering book. Andrew Young's wife works at UNC hospital...the same place I work. It's kindof crazy. But, I don 't know her.

I'm still waiting to hear back from some job apps. The economy seems to be even hurting RN jobs. Last year this time there seemed to be so many more vacancies. I think most places are just short-staffing their nurses and hoping nothing dangerous happens. NOT OKAY.

Jay is just about finished with the movie room. He's mounting speakers and such as I type. He's so handy. I don't know what I'd do without him. He's so goofy. Today he stuck two screws up his nose and I caught it on camera.  I plan on posting it for ya. He hasn't shaved his beard in a LONG time...and could use a haircut. But let me tell you. This picture you see, it sums up my days and nights. Who thought 1 pic could do that?! I mean...I laugh at him EVERYDAY..and hope you get a laugh out of it too.

I've been ordering things on ebay like crazy. I've decided that getting packages in the mail is my anti-drug. LOL. It's so fun. Try it.

I guess that's about it.
Just wanted to say hi to my loyal 2 followers~~
Hang in there, spring is a comin!

Words From One Squishy Broken Heart

Image
2/12/2025 When I was 14, my mom made me volunteer all summer at the hospital. Most kids volunteered 1 day/week. We couldn't afford summer camp or family vacations and she worked all week. I was too young for a job. She signed me up to volunteer at the hospital 5 days/week all day. All summer long.  I delivered flowers and cards to patients. I sat with patients in the cancer center and kept them company while they were getting chemo. I helped people sit up to eat, and I took family members from the lobby to patient rooms and back again.  It was the summer between middle school and high school for me. I was overweight, lacked self-confidence, didn't play sports, read a lot of books, and spent a lot of time in my room by myself drawing, reading, listening to music, and dreaming.  I came home crying every day about the patients I saw. Every single day broke my heart. I will always remember what my mom said to me one day after being a little annoyed with me for crying again. S...

Love Lessons

 2/14/2025 Today the world seems to be on fire with love. Commercialized, dipped in chocolate, flowery, and fragrant love. Loud and noisy love. On fire love. Shiny. Polished. Expensive. Calculated.   I'm thankful for the love that is none of those things. Because I stopped settling for that top and most outer layer of it, the love from a distance kind of love.  Instead, I look to the love of the friends I'm so fortunate to have. The ones who show up for me when things are messy, emotional, tired, sweaty, stinky, sticky, unprepared, scared, and brave.  The friends who can get sassy and dressy and go out to a nice ticketed event but know the real me is happy in jeans and a t-shirt, with fake pearls and mismatched ribbon shoelaces. The ones who love me and show up for me despite what an inconvenience it is for them to do so. For friends who have shown me what it means to show up. To be present. The ones who make me feel like my broken heart is perfect in a world he...

What does it take to write?

As you can tell, it's been so long since I've posted. For some reason, it always takes something pretty big or eye-opening to get me still enough to write. The stars all lined up tonight and I decided to login and post again. Have any of you started email accounts for your children? I have about 3 journals upstairs, tattered and torn, exhausted from moving around from box to box. In them, I have letters to the kids. I was really good about writing to the twins when I was pregnant with them. I wrote about the things that scared me and the things I hoped for them. I wrote about how I felt, what I ate, and even ordinary things that being pregnant with them changed. I told them about how it felt to tie my shoes sideways and how I required pretzel nests of pillows in order to sleep. I even kept up with writing to each of them for awhile after they were born. But, as luck and life would have it, sleep became harder and harder to come by and my priorities shifted. The other night, I...
