Stuck

I find I just can't blog.

It's a rare thing for me to not be able to put words to my feelings. Usually I can write my struggles and find definition and clarity through my pen.

Lately though, there are no words.

And with the blog, there is the added pressure of trying to 'entertain' you.

And I just can't do it.

I cannot define my heart right now.

And I cannot continue to start, only to delete because I fear I sound whiny or repetitive.

So I just will not write.

For now.

Because my heart is so broken.

I just don't have it in me to pretend to be okay right now.

I think I expected to be 'okay' by now.

And I'm so not. Okay.

I really don't know who I am anymore.

My frame of reference has shifted completely.

And I think I just need to 'be' here for awhile. I just need to listen. And stop trying to sum it up with words.

I cannot post pretty pictures and wax eloquent about lessons learned...

I just need to be.

Quiet.

Broken.

Tired.

So I will be... for awhile.

I truly do love you all for your support and encouragement and your prayers.

So I trust you will wait this out with me.

And maybe say a prayer or two.

For clarity. And understanding.

I need to learn how to live with this heavy heavy heart.

"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
Psalm 27: 13 & 14

    You have put yourself out there so much you deserve to feel how you feel and live it out how you need to live it out.

    I know many of us enjoy your blog but don't want you to feel any pressure. That is not what this is suppose to be about. Take the time you need. We will be here when you get back.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
