  • A perfect life

    Thursday, March 6, 2008 | A Venting story

    A perfect life - interesting thoughts. I have to say that right now my life seems smooth, there aren't the same bumps and lumps there once were. I am not in a constant haze and I am not juggling all the thoughts and emotions. I am not desperately seeking attention. I am not so needy.
    Because I am not those things NOW I have energy to give. It has to be my response right now. My energy for now...

  • Worry

    Monday, March 31, 2008 | A Venting story

    I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach today. I haven't felt it for a while. It comes from worry. 
    I am worrying - it's something I used to do a great deal and lately have tried not to. I have tried to deal with situations as I can - this one I am worried about.
    It comes from a Mother's heart.  My children are my absolute joy - but also my worry. 
    I have a 2 so...

    Ok, not doing very well with keeping things positive today, it will be back but tonight I am venting and I apologize for that.  Well my uncle has been back in the hospital for about a week & took a turn for the worse.  It is literally just a matter of time he has a saliva problem that means he will have reoccurring pneumonia for ever that cannot be fixed.  One side of his diaph...

    Tuesday, March 17, 2009 | A Venting story

    Hi friends. Lovely to say that - write it and I know those who read this are. 
    It's been an interesting start to my week.
    I have had some disappointment and some lovely times too. Today I will start with the disappointment as I need to write this down to get it clear in my head.
    I went away to NZ recently - while I was there I was able to reconnect with so many of my "oldest" an...

  • Where to even BEGIN!!!!!!!

    Monday, April 27, 2009 | A Venting story

    I should start with some positive and that is that I'm still here, the note has been thrown away and I did not destroy my family. I have to honestly admit I am still afraid to go on but for my family, I will fight. I still believe that God gave me my third child 10 yrs from the other 2 to keep me on this earth. Sometime I curse him for that and I'm so sorry that sounds so sick!!! I&#...
