http://callmecrazycbus.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Crazy: Are We There Yet? Sunday, March 29, 2015. So in observance of Endometriosis Awareness Month (March), I'd like to use this post as a little bit of a Q and A. Anything you've ever wanted to ask but you felt like it was prying, too personal, or a 'silly' question? There are no silly questions (although when I'm involved there are silly answers! So here's my sort of AMA. Ask me anything about endometriosis, about life with endo, anything along those lines! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Story of Us.

Crazy: Are We There Yet? Thursday, March 27, 2014. I Have A Problem With This. In the recent days, I read about a series of events that made me happy - and then sad - and then sadder. These concerned the activities of Christian children's charity World Vision, and many of you may be familiar with the events to which I am referring. For those who are not, you may find some information here. Or just continue reading and I will briefly summarize the events. Their decision to allow even those whose doctrinal...

Call Me Crazy: April 2015
http://callmecrazycbus.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Crazy: Are We There Yet? Monday, April 27, 2015. I went through a few more stages. Military, lawyer, military lawyer (what? Teacher, run my own daycare, own my own baby supply store, and ultimately I even went to college and got a degree in public health, as I liked to put it, "because I want to get paid to play with car seats when I grow up.". A job all along, and I hadn't been doing it. So why, then, was I expecting that of myself? There were so many days when I felt useless and broken. There still...

Call Me Crazy: Defective
http://callmecrazycbus.blogspot.com/2015/04/defective.html
Crazy: Are We There Yet? Monday, April 13, 2015. When I sat down in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) session a year ago, I was asked to identify the thoughts I had about myself, the core beliefs I held about who I was. I selected a few things. I'm a failure.". I don't matter.". Sometimes I still think that. I'd heard "defective" used to describe human beings before, somewhere else. Or how about Brett? All of these precious children were declared "defective" by doctors. Of course not, not for a second.

Crazy: Are We There Yet? Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Surgery. and a plea. Tomorrow I go in for surgery to excise the endometriosis that causes me such extreme pain each month. This is the same type of surgery that almost killed me two years ago. but the same type that was successful three years before that. It is a new doctor. a man of God who has helped a dear friend of mine get her life back. I come to you humbly asking for prayer. That I will get through this surgery without complications. Just $5 earns...

Call Me Crazy: November 2013
http://callmecrazycbus.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Crazy: Are We There Yet? Friday, November 15, 2013. Auto Manufacturers Must Not Have Kids. This is the conclusion I have come to this week. Well remember riding in, say, your grandma's car in the 1990's? And how she didn't have a nifty button to push to roll the windows down, you had to use that horrible crank thing? Yeah, that was no fun, right? Boy, it sure is a good thing they developed those nice little switches that make the windows go up and down BY THEMSELVES! One of the best features, by far, abo...

Crazy: Are We There Yet? Wednesday, January 1, 2014. The Year With No Hugs. I want to preface this by saying that I do recognize and appreciate and love the friends and family who are still in my life. I give thanks for every one of you, because without you, this would all be so much harder. My Year With No Hugs wasn't truly hug-free because of you. After exhausting all possibilities of bringing them home, I rang in 2013 with a heavy heart. hurting, because I knew I wouldn't be spending the new year ...

Call Me Crazy: July 2014

Crazy: Are We There Yet? Thursday, July 10, 2014. It Really Is That Black And White. I've learned a lot about black, white, and grey in the last few months. I have a tendancy to think in black and white. Things are good or bad, right or wrong; there is no in between. I am slowly learning to notice the 'grey areas' - the 'just okay' or 'not the best' or 'it was fun except'. But sometimes there are no gray areas. How do I know? It's only 81 degrees outside today. The day that little boy died, it was 92...
