I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
I left my phone in NY on January 1st. Major bummer. Eventually I got it back, but I spent three phone-less weeks waiting. I’ve always hated (HATED) talking on the phone, but not having one for three weeks was a little lonely.
Anyway, I finally got it back last week, and wouldn’t you know, Jameson gave it a good solid swish in the toilet the next day.
Good grief.
Yup, 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. Read more »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.
Lol!!! Sorry, I know that’s not really and truly funny.
But it is funny to me :-D Since I’m over hear in little-people-ville and also experience similar occurences ;-)

I just read your latest link on the side about how children relate to their divorced parents as they age. Tim’s parents are divorced and we are now in a position of being expected to “fill in” in his mom’s life, taking on tasks that would have been his father’s role, had they stayed married (shoveling, fixing things, getting things out of storage). It baffles me that many so-called “experts” claim that the children of divorce are better off than if the parents had stayed in an “unhappy marriage”. I can’t help but wonder if they ever actually spoke to any of those children. I’m glad there is someone out there who is acknowledging the difficulties it divorce presents for children later on in life.

We’ve lost two phones to that sad sad fate.
So sorry.
