Kaps Kids: When Mothering is Made Ugly
http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2015/04/when-mothering-is-made-ugly.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. When Mothering is Made Ugly. There are days when mothering is the picture of what you dreamed it would be:. Bare toes dangling above the floor, messed hair, sleepy eyes, rosy cheeks that smile at you from behind fork-fulls of pancakes. A couch full of littles all snuggled up against you, reading stories full of adventure. Listening to their giggles. Sweet conversations about grace and forgiveness and the fresh snow all over the steam of hot cocoa. Lies of the enemy poured out fro...

Kaps Kids: January 2013
http://kapskids.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 01, 2013. An End and A Beginning. It moves, swings, never stops. A year closes and ends, another begins. A life ends, a new one begins. Yet the world, this world, it never stops spinning. Pain comes, knocks us over, leaves us breathless and we're left to keep going. What we wouldn't give to just pause the rush of water around us. Twice this year I found myself opening myself up to incredible joy, irresistible joy. We open ourselves up to joy and that opens us up to pain. Dishes, diapers,.

Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Personal confessions of a stay-at-home-mother:. The television was on too much today. I fed my children corn dogs for lunch because I didn't know what else to make. I am in desperate need of a shower but was too busy picking up, doing dishes, and editing to take one. Thankfully, my husband thinks I'm sexy still. My house is a mess. Yep, a big fat ugly mess. I have fallen into a habit of threatening instead of acting when it comes to discipline and first-time obedience. Life i...

Monday, March 28, 2011. So this is life . Da de da daaaaaa. M hmm m hmmm). It is what runs through my head as I take in the scene around me:. The water running in the sink, washing out a jar;. A piece of French toast cooking on the stove, with 3 more on the plate;. 2 tuna sandwiches on one counter;. 4 sippy cups lined up on the other counter;. I laugh at myself and hum. So this is liiiiiiiiiiiiiife". To the tune of that Cinderella song. I don't even know why that is the song running through my mind,.

Kaps Kids: July 2012

Monday, July 30, 2012. Goodbye, sweet baby. Only a few short hours passed after my last words here before change knocked at our door. I answered, pain walked in. Pain laced black and red. Pain wrought in tears. Tears of thousands, millions of women. Saturday writhed with the ugliness of this world. When all feels broken. But the broken was preceded with grace. Grace in little blips on a black and white screen. Grace in a slow, steady beat. And when grace precedes the pain, we see the love of the Creator.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Mothering Moments: "I wanta be a friends mama". Those were the words thrown out by my 3 year old this morning after I somewhat harshly told him to stop jumping on me while I vacuumed. Eluwhoo was busy doing dishes, Gman was busy picking up books, and Cbelle was . hmmm, playing in her room? Wyatt was without a job and therefore, wanted to "play" with me while I finished the vacuuming. Is what I'm thinking. I said a few:. So then there was:. Stop jumping on me! I responded with,.
