Going On An Adventure - Monday with Mommy

I'm interrupting everything I'm behind on to go on an adventure with Bubba. My days at home with him may come to an end soon, so we aren't taking for granted the days we do have together. I am currently working 20 hours a week, 5 hours Tuesday night, 5 hours Wednesday night, and 10 hours on Saturday. Which means: A) Zachary does not have to go to Day Care B) Saturday is really the only day I have to be away from him C) I have basically the whole week to do things that I WANT to do instead of being consumed by a job that takes up my entire life But my current position is temporary. At the end of March, they may extend it, or they may not. There is also a chance that different positions will become available that I can apply for which means my work schedule would most likely change, drastically. It was never my intention to be a stay-at-home-mom. That was my dream , but not what we had planned. When it came time for me to start thinking about going back to work aft

How to Take a Bathroom Break with a 9 Month Old... and other important lessons

God has been laying this verse on my heart lately: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "Give thanks in all circumstances" This has been increasingly difficult for me. I know that God isn't asking me to give thanks FOR all circumstances, but finding the blessings in Zachary's trial phase is proving to be a difficult task. We were so close to having squash approved, then, out of the blue, he had a reaction. Talk about disappointment. I have read that some babies with protein intolerance can actually tolerate a certain amount of certain proteins. We made it to the 4-Tbsp mark before Zachary reacted, which means maybe that's all he can tolerate. In which case, we'll be able to give him 4 bites on a regular basis of squash, but no more. We won't know if this is what's going on until we let squash clear his system and start over with the trial in a few days. So, we went back down to Children's Hospital last Thursday. The GI believes Zachary is showing many sign

Vacation!

I have decided to take a vacation from Facebook. I recently have had an incident where my feelings were hurt by some close friends through a Facebook post and some comments. I don't know if any of it was MEANT to be hurtful, but they were clearly not thought out before they were typed. I have been praying hard about this situation and strongly feel that God is asking me to let go of Facebook and give Him more of my attention. I am looking forward to the freedom this will provide me. We have enough to worry about with Zachary right now, the last thing I need is hurt feelings over internet posts. I read this on my friend Emily's blog recently and truly think it's a great reminder for everyone: Something to ask yourself: Before you post a Facebook status, before you write a post on Tumblr, before you tell someone about what so and so did to you, before you tweet about how much you hate when people ________, ask yourself: "What is my motivation for doing this? Is it f
