............... I dream in fuchsia ...............: A test of my patience
http://fuchsiadreams.blogspot.com/2009/02/test-of-my-patience.html
I dream in fuchsia . Black and white is never enough . A test of my patience. I've been working on a postage stamp quilt for years. I've been cutting 1.5" squares out of any quilting fabric I get my hands on. I've been trying to make it a true charm quilt, where my goal is to use only one square of each fabric. Working on this project is definitely a labor of love; it's taking FOREVER. Here are what a few look like:. So now I'm cutting again. I'm also cutting 2.5" squares of all the fabrics that ...I sti...

Comparative Childhood: June 2010

A mother's reflection of her own childhood. Monday, June 21, 2010. It's a pity Freud and I never met. Which was having pulled pork at the dining hall and then kissing them goodbye as they left for the airport. Back to real life. Am I spending time thinking about Grace's future? Like, what she will do once she graduates from high school? That's a big deal. It's bad enough when it's you, but your kid? She's never had surgery of any kind before. I'm not sure how to breathe through this experience. This past...

Comparative Childhood: August 2010

A mother's reflection of her own childhood. Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Meddling, being honest, and how to keep friendships. Grace was at music camp last week. Choir concert, Grace looked and sounded great, I loved seeing her enjoy herself. Last night she told me that there was some drama during her week away. You know, the kind where the girls all talk late at night in their cabin and one girl confesses her undying love for a boy? Cause their communication is breaking down? I do I seem to also recall st...

Comparative Childhood: November 2009
http://www.comparativechildhood.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A mother's reflection of her own childhood. Monday, November 30, 2009. New Hair, Thanksgiving, and movies. I dyed my hair. It wasn't a dramatic change or anything. I only dyed it like 3 shades a darker brown. I have found 3 things. First, hair dye smells horrible. Second, it takes FOREVER! And lastly, people DO notice. I don't mind that people notice. I actually like it; it gives me attention. I know that sounded very conceded, but it's true. Mom: Gracie are you planning on running the 5K this year?

Comparative Childhood: October 2010
http://www.comparativechildhood.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
A mother's reflection of her own childhood. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. A few weeks back, I wrote about my relative callous towards breast cancer awareness. About how easy it was to look at pink stuff in the store and buy a pink piece of jewelry or a pink silicone mixing bowl and feel good about myself even though I hadn't done anything to really become more "aware" of breast cancer. Or to help people who are suffering. Or to stop and think at all. What is going on? Wrote last year about her husband get...

A mother's reflection of her own childhood. Sunday, March 21, 2010. Hey all, I'm posting over at Midwest Parents. This week.

I made the bed...is that enough?: There is one missing
http://sarahspurgeon.blogspot.com/2010/08/there-is-one-missing.html
I made the bed.is that enough? Monday, August 2, 2010. There is one missing. Lately, I'm constantly looking around for my 4th baby. I get everyone to the dinner table (including Baby A) and I look around like, "Okay, where's the other one? It is so odd. And I get this feeling ALL THE TIME now. Which is making things difficult for me since I've basically decided that we will stop with 3 babies. Either way, it is the oddest sensation/feeling to look at my 3 babies and say, "Wait, where did the other one go?

I made the bed.is that enough? Friday, April 30, 2010. Baby A's Birth Story. Let me preface with saying this is (once again) a long birth story. I just can't help myself! Read at your leisure and peril (may contain TMI. At 12:01 am, Friday, April 23rd (2010), I woke up to Baby R creeping into my room. I decided to make a bathroom trip and then put him back in his bed (thank you Supernanny! As I sat down, I felt a pop and I immediately knew my water was broken. You can't leave until Daddy gets here! I got...

I made the bed...is that enough?: December 2010
http://sarahspurgeon.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
I made the bed.is that enough? Friday, December 31, 2010. We're having a nice dinner! So, I busted my ass for 10 days, cooking 3 meals a day for roughly 9 people. Don't let me fool you, I really liked doing it! I love to feed people; especially when they like it. However, my kids basically complained the entire time and didn't eat a thing. Baby D and Baby R ran screaming from the dinner table, and even yelled "Yuck! Quite a few times. Nice, huh? Dinners of takeout pizza, Taco Bell, and Chinese food.
