I've had a couple of complaints, and concerns, about my not posting in a while. I really do apologize. Writing things out makes me realize that I really have a pretty boring life...
You know what is hard? I read blogs of parents all the time. While I love reading the stories and laughing at all the good times that were shared, it really does make me feel as though I don't fit in here in blogging world...I realize that not everyone that has a blog also has kids, but it seems like all the ones I read are that way. I don't have any fun stories to share, or cute pics of beautiful kids to boast about, and it makes me feel like an outsider (I've brought that on myself).
Anyway, I have found that I've felt much less motivated over the last few weeks than I did when I wrote things out in this blog. Maybe, just maybe, there really is something to this. At least it is a way to get some things off my mind.
My fear, sometimes, in writing on this blog is how some people may end up taking what I am writing. I don't want to worry anyone, or scare anyone, or upset anyone. However, I guess some things that I say/write may just not come out correctly for each and every person. As a disclaimer here: I'm fine, really. And, I apologize if I offend.
As with the rest of the world, things are tight right now. However, my hubby and I have turned to rely on the strength of our relationship and God's grace to get us through this tough time. We have some great friends that are helping us in the journey and eventually things will not be so tough. These friends know who you are, so a BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
So, for all of you who have expressed a concern, or asked why I don't update anymore, here is my response. I'm fine, just a little lost and still finding my way. I'll get there, and get into a routine someday. But, thanks so much for all the thoughts and concerns...maybe I'll have a few stories shortly.

Hang in there...
Enjoy your weekend away!
Hey there...it's nice to see you writing something...ANYTHING!! Cuz, you've always enjoyed writing and are very creative at it. You always have been. I remember your 2nd grade teacher recognizing your writing talents all those years ago. Sometimes it's easier to put words on paper than to say them in person, one on one. Sometimes the written word is like therapy..it lets all those thoughts, ideas, concerns...you name it...come out rather than fester. So keep writing..even if it's a small thing that happened that day...regardless of how unimportant you may think it is. It just may be a big thing to someone else. Besides, I like hearing from you. Dad
Even though we have one child, he is older than all the other kids that are coming along now. And I feel kind of out of place not having another one to keep up with everyone else. But financially it's not possible. I know what it's like to be tight, Mike & I have been in that position for quite a while. Sometimes the only food in the house we have to save for Cody. So I understand that. I love reading your blog, and hearing about how you & Ben are doing, simply because I consider you two my friends. I kind of feel the same way about my blog because most of the time I only get 1, maybe 2 comments. And that makes me think most people are not reading my blog anyway, so what's the point? But I keep doing it just because I don't do the scrapbook thing! Anyway, you two take care, and remember you two are always in my prayers! ;0)
