http://biggreenhappyfamily5.blogspot.com/2009/09/9-on-9-9-09.html
Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Today is Stephen's 9th birthday. It is also 9-9-09, which makes this day extra special for him! A few things about Stephen-. He loves to read. He wants to be a marine biologist when he grows up, and he is so smart that he might just be. His favorite bands are The Beatles, Anti Flag, Dropkick Murpheys and Flogging Mollys. He's a pretty cool kid, huh? He's in 3rd grade. He loves video games, computer games, wants a cellphone and a facebook. To which I replied, " of course, it'...

Sunday, April 25, 2010. Hey Y'all, I'm starting a new blog project, so be sure to follow me on this new journey! Http:/ lifewithoutdaisies.blogspot.com/. Saturday, April 3, 2010. Friday, April 2, 2010. For the past couple of months, I have been reading a chapter of proverbs per night. I will have to be honest, here, and admit that. I haven't put a proverbs entry in my journal in probably two weeks. Most of my entries of late have been plagued by a repeated theme of ". I want to get out of here. So, last ...

Green Family Blog: June 2009
http://biggreenhappyfamily5.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. It will never change. What can I do God, to help them? To make anything easier for them. That's where I have been today. In the middle of cleaning house and running errands, I have been on my knees, pleading for God to show me how to help my family. And then, I got up, and I went to my piano, and. God poured a song out to me. And when I was writing it down (. In sharpie on the back of unopened mail. Heart As it was coming from ME. So, naturally, each line began with " I. I don't ...

Wednesday, July 15, 2009. What gets me writing. There's been one clearly defined reason for why I'm writing in my novel more this year than in all the 10 years past. I'm not writing as much. I am writing more because I'm not writing more. Yup, you're not seeing things incorrectly. Nope, you don't have to read between the lines. Not even here. I spent 10 years as a journalist - writing. I spent two years home, as a freelancer - writing. I spent those same two years blogging - which meant more writing.

Monday, January 18, 2010. Joy is hard when insanely busy. It's a three-day weekend, so I have some "extra" time. Since I began working full-time a little more than a year ago I have struggled more with the issue of time than ever. Mostly because of the "time lost" with my girls. And yet I spend every second with them - when I'm not working. When I was home all the time, I felt no guilt leaving a few hours on the weekends or missing a bedtime here and there. Now Oh, now. Is it guilt? Is it an emptiness?

Monday, April 27, 2009. As my little babies turn, gradually, into little girls, my helicopter parenting skillz are apparent. They've always been exaggerated. We got to the part of the bike trail that overlooks a lovely, but roaring creek and I cringed telling them not to climb on the very large, very high metal fence. A foot could get stuck. They might fit through the two-inch slats. What if they do fall? They'll drown in the knee-deep water. (It was easily a 20-foot drop, by the way). Links to this post.

Sunday, May 17, 2009. How Daring Can you be? My last post was a true confession about how hard it is for me to let go of the girls and start letting them learn for themselves the consequences of life's challenges. I am committed to doing that. But, I'm equally attracted to offering them as many educational and cultural experiences as possible. Just yesterday I was telling them hello in six different languages and playing Spanish music. I want, for them, many of the things I didn't have as a kid. Then we ...

Friday, April 16, 2010. Things I love . I have virtually no readers left here, which leaves me in a strange place of writing mostly for myself for the first time in a really long time. Perhaps, ever? Nonetheless, it's still my home and I do plan to redecorate this summer and turn this into something a bit different - more like a retreat than a blog. If you are here, thank you. Truly. Thank you for sticking with me all these years. Here's a list of things I'm loving right now:. My new turquoise coffee mugs.

Monday, November 23, 2009. In an effort to revive my blog, my writing self and my soul, I'm participating in Menu Planning Monday today. It's a small step to mixing my busy life with blogging. We've moved into a new house less than a month ago and while we're feeling settled, there's still a lot of unpacking and organizing going on. That means I'm still not writing like I would like. The Dad is cooking since I have a meeting). Wednesday: Perhaps dinner out with visiting family. Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes.
