Not My Own: May 2015
http://notmyownlife.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. I cried a lot today. over a crashed hard drive. My back up system apparently didn't work and it seems that 10 years of photos and documents are gone, just like that. As I got in the car to take my crashed hard drive back to the computer technicians, I cried, just like I had through pieces of the morning. Do you see a lot of people cry? I asked the tech. Yea, about one a day," he said. Well, I cried in the car, so I won't make your quota today! I joked with some hope of truth. The ro...

http://notmyownlife.blogspot.com/2015/04/proverbs-31-how-do-you-measure-up.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Proverbs 31 - How Do You Measure Up? My husband just left for work. It's still dark out. I kissed him goodbye and returned to my bed to read alone before the children wake up. My reading took me to Proverbs 31. As I read this famous and familiar passage, I tried to insert myself and see if I "measure up.". It is hard to find a good wife, because she is worth more than rubies.". My birthstone is a ruby! He does trust me, but not so sure he has all he needs. Now this is just gett...

Monday, May 9, 2011. My little ladies turned 5 in April and we had a magical day celebrating! Warning - there are TONS of photos to follow! The Fairy Garden Party. Tissue Poms were everywhere!

Not My Own: June 2015
http://notmyownlife.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Appendectomy, Road Trip and LEGOLAND. There's been a lot going on around here! My husband was in the hospital again to have his appendix removed! He was just recovering from knee surgery and I guess he needed a little more attention! We wrapped up our homeschool year - praise the LORD! We headed up north to visit with Grandparents for a week and came home for a ballet recital, only to hit the road again and visit LEGOLAND for a few days! Whew, we're wiped out and need a vacation.

Not My Own: March 2015
http://notmyownlife.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Or White and Gold? Do you ever feel like it just can't get any worse? My husband has been awaiting knee surgery for a long, pain filled, sleepless month. That means I've been waiting too, caring for the pain (his pain, not him! And not sleeping for a month. The night before the surgery was the worst. When he wasn't looking, I secretly went in the bathroom and cried. I couldn't stand to see him in severe pain anymore. I have to take care of Daddy. You're fine."). Um, have what?
