Keeping Up With the Joneses...: Waaaaaaaah!
http://patrickandreajones.blogspot.com/2015/06/waaaaaaaah.html
Keeping Up With the Joneses. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Let's talk about crying. Because my 2 year old is doing it right now, and I really want to join him. I can't handle my child crying for more than like 30 seconds. My body becomes physically ill when my child cries. It's not quite as strong when it's another child, but still my body reacts-a physical reaction. This is not a statement of judgment, it's just a fact-I can't handle crying in a leave-it-alone kind of way. You know what's really bad? It was i...

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Tuesday, August 25, 2015. Boom Just like that. We've been barely keeping our relationship afloat in these past.6 months, just with all the stress of work, having a new baby, managing two kids (which I swear, I could write a book about now! It's really been a lot for us both. And of course we spend very little time together, alone, without children. But we talked about how much we desire for that to change. And you know what? Thursday, August 20, 2015. I desire nothing more th...

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Thursday, May 14, 2015. Let me set the scene for you. Patrick called around 4pm and said he couldn't pick up Denzel from school, and I had to go get him. There was an emergency at work and he had to stay really late tonight. I picked up Denzel, ordered a pizza, dinner was fabulous, both kids had jammies on. I can totally do this two kid thing. Just wants to suck? Only Lord knows, and Denzel sitting on my left screaming, "Mommy! I want you to hold me!

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Saturday, June 21, 2014. You'll have to excuse me and my poor way with words tonight. I just came from the hotel bar where myself and a BUNCH of others toasted to you. It was kind of weird though without you there, because it was totally your kind of party. A bunch of choral people, drinking, laughing, loving.it was definitely your kind of party. Sunday, June 8, 2014. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense. Student teacher. What a blast we had! Were the one who accepted me as ...

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Saturday, May 17, 2014. Aware of the beauty. Thinking, or this. I heard woman after woman describe their own instance of feeling sub par, less than, or just boring. This morning though, God let me see each of these women through his eyes. I saw beautiful diamonds, and what they saw of themselves was a work in progress, a dull stone. Later this afternoon, Patrick's parents came over to work on our garden and organize our garage. RIGHT? I know you're jealous (and you should be!

Keeping Up With the Joneses...: December 2014
http://patrickandreajones.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With the Joneses. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. I sometimes wonder what a normal life would look like. What's normal you ask? I list this all out and realize that others wish. And sometimes it's just tiring to keep up with life. So for now I'll live with chaos, with stress, with the go go go, and with constant adrenaline running through my veins. And somewhere in the "abnormal" maybe I'll see the waters begin to calm. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Keeping up with the Jones'. Life According to V.

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Friday, January 9, 2015. My sweet boy,. Always your mommy,. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Hormones, chai, and unending love. Some days you just can't move past the emotional stronghold hormones have on the body. At least, when you're pregnant. I don't really remember feeling like that with Denzel. To be honest, I didn't feel much of anything when I was pregnant with Denzel-nothing but joy. But this little one? Would be a parent anyway? How could I possibly give more? But that wa...

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Relationships and New Beginnings. It was devastating, and yet so healthy. Healthy in the sense that I cried harder than I ever cried-but that was exactly what I needed. My body was in so much pain after his memorial service. You know how much your head hurts with a bad /headache? I haven't been the same since then. People matter. They matter a lot. So I take a lot of time to think these days. So what do I do with that? Can have a relationship with him.

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Sunday, July 5, 2015. My life this past week has been crazy. Actually, I take that back. It should. Maternity leave of course! So I did. Spent a few days in AZ. OH! It was amazing. Then I went back to nurse him again. I don't think I'd been away from my kids that long since before E was born. It was exactly what the doctor ordered! Stefani, you get the friend of the year award! Then we rushed home and Patrick headed out to his out of town job. Keeping up with the Jones'.

Keeping Up With the Joneses. Sunday, February 1, 2015. To complicate things even more, I'm having another child. It's really only complicated because I have literally no plan, no idea what's going to happen after the baby comes. Meaning, financially it is OUTRAGEOUS for us to send an infant to full-time childcare on our current take-home. So then maybe I work part time? But then who do we send to school?
