Hiding in a Crowd

Wow, it's been a while since I've stared at a blank page and thought of how to fill it! I've not even been reading too many blogs. I pop on here occasionally to check for comments and I may check in on favorite blogs here or there though.

I do Facebook but I've come to a conclusion. I think blogging to facebooking is as reading books is to watching television. Or at the least, reading classics is to reading People magazine. ;)

It's not that there is anything wrong with it. It's fantastic for finding old friends and just keeping up with people. Some folks think it's good for nothing but gossip. I guess that could be true for some. I enjoy seeing the statuses and staying in touch with friends. I'm horrible with making phone calls and even emails. When I think back to junior high and how I would stay on the phone for hours I have to laugh because that is so not me now! Who has time? Facebook is easier somehow. Write on someone's wall, comment on their status or picture, even talk on chat without them overhearing your barking dog or the toddler "singing" and rocking out on his guitar like his big brother....er, well, I don't guess everyone has that in the background!

But it also allows you to hide away. Facebook lets you cast out a quick status and be done with it. Or no status at all! Blogging demands a bit more thought. Well, at least the way I blog. I just try to be me and have a conversation...sometimes crossing into rambling. :) By the way, am I the only one who hates those blogs that put up like one line or a picture or something and they get like 96 comments? Anyway...;)

I've just noticed that blogging makes you look a little deeper, think a little harder, share a little more of yourself...yet you can also remain somewhat anonymous. Hmmm, come to think of it, Facebook is the opposite...it's not anonymous at all, yet you don't really have to share very much of yourself, the real you.

I haven't been doing too much of that. But maybe time will allow me to start again. I appreciate those of you that have stuck around and continued to check for updates. :)

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
