musings of a bean: Is so much whining normal?
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2012/11/is-so-much-whining-normal.html
Musings of a bean. Friday, November 30, 2012. Is so much whining normal? Often in this house it feels like all I'm listening to is a constant stream of toddler whines. Sure, there are happy moments and times of laughter, but those fussy, whiney cries of discontent can so quickly drown out all the happy noises. It's exhausting. Can't we communicate and instruct our children without barking orders all day long? Does any of this make sense? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

musings of a bean: February 2014

Musings of a bean. Friday, February 21, 2014. Roscoe, there is nothing about you that isn't strong willed or passionate or determined. And sometimes (even though you are just a three-year-old), that is just the recipe for a brokenhearted mama. I want so desperately to point you to Christ, but I feel like every day I am a failure. I love you, Roscoe. I pray you know this. I pray that despite my shortcomings as a mom, as a human, that you know my deep and undying love for you, my boy, the one I lon...It hu...

musings of a bean: Don't fear the normal
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2013/01/dont-fear-normal.html
Musings of a bean. Monday, January 21, 2013. Don't fear the normal. This time, however. I have a totally different approach. There are so many women who fear birth. I did at one time. And I honestly feel that our culture is to blame for that. We've taken something so natural to the essence of women and created a monster out of it. A big, ugly looking, scary, "it's-gonna-eat-me-if-i-get-near-it" monster. It shouldn't be that way! So the one time I've given birth? What if that happens again? So in the comi...

musings of a bean: July 2012
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Musings of a bean. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Catch up and announcement. It's been so long since I've updated because I don't know how to blog without including a big part of what's going on in my life. I guess if I'm going to write about my life here, and I've got something I'm not ready to share yet, it's hard to write anything at all. So with that said, if you don't know this already, baby #2 is on the way! Are we wanting a girl? Roscoe is being my little sweetheart these days. I often get a few vi...

musings of a bean: April 2012
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Musings of a bean. Sunday, April 22, 2012. Mark just called me about an hour ago to let me know he was driving home. Rarely does he get to start his 10 hour drive home before noon, and most commonly it's about 2 or 3 pm. What a nice surprise! The only problem is I thought I had all day to get the house cleaned to my "Mark's-homecoming-specifications." In reality I have about 3.5 hours. Good thing we have a less than 900 sq ft home! Friday, April 20, 2012. Things I love about right now.this moment. Once I...

Musings of a bean. Thursday, January 31, 2013. A summary of the past 2 weeks. I had said in my last post that I would keep updates coming. My bad for not actually POSTING the updates. I have kept a somewhat ongoing diary of each day on my phone though. And here it is. Clearly, you can see how each day is a battle. physically and mentally. January 23rd- Felt like today was it.

musings of a bean: March 2012
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Musings of a bean. Monday, March 26, 2012. For the love of reading. I don't just read a book. I become a character in the book. So as I journey through the pages, I'm feeling what the characters feel, thinking what they think, experiencing what they experience. There's just something about them that affect me deeply. To be honest, I sometimes have a difficult time coping with reality in the hours/ days after finishing a good read. Does anyone else feel the same way about reading? Friday, March 23, 2012.

musings of a bean: August 2013
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Musings of a bean. Sunday, August 11, 2013. When imagination and reality disagree. Now I tend to 2 children and attempt to make coming home a desirable thing for my husband. And sometimes I feel that a successful day is being able to say I got the laundry from the washer to the dryer before the mildew sets in. That's about 10th in the list of things I feel the need or desire to get around to. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. When imagination and reality disagree. Follow me by Email.

musings of a bean: Roscoe's birth story
http://seriousbean.blogspot.com/2011/02/roscoes-birth-story.html
Musings of a bean. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Saturday morning, the 12th, at 1:30am a contraction woke me up. It was more intense than the others. Mine and Mark's dads had gone up Friday night to retrieve the 4runner, and Andy and Ben drove up separately to get Mark. I tried to go back to sleep after the contraction faded, but they kept coming and I decided to get up at 3am. So when I say that I was in labor for 23 hours, the start time I'm talking about is that 1:30am contraction. This is where thing...
