I’ve been thinking about this a lot, but of course, she says it better than I could:
We like things to go smoothly and as planned. Very often unexpected things intervene, and our plans go awry. We think we’ve got “problems.” There is another level at which everything that happens is being engineered. “God has no [...]
:. It’s been a nice, relaxing week for Jameson and me. He’s happily accompanied me on errands and visits to Mom and Dad’s — my little buddy. We have so much fun being together (at least, I hope he shares that sentiment!) I’ve not gotten all the projects done that I’d hopes to accomplish, largely [...]
The plan has been to shop today.
But the longer I sit inside, listening to rain on the roof, watching rain out my window, the louder a certain song plays in my head:
“Can’t you see that it’s just raining?/Ain’t no need to go outside…”
Jameson’s sleeping. We’ll see if, when he wakes up, that song has [...]
So, whose blog is this, anyway? It's mine, and here are few tidbits about me: My name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley.My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.
The first of a week-long series on mothering without fear. Encouraging!
GOOD read.
I LOVE money-back guarantees for stuff like this. (Of course, I can't imagine anyone returning an Ergo!) If you're thinking about purchasing an Ergo carrier, maybe you'll appreciate these 90 days of flexibility.
