No No NO!

The sinuses are beginning to rupture again. This cannot happen. I do not want to be in bed without energy on my Christmas break! Sigh. Woe is me. 

I also never heard how painful these kicks can get. I know, I know . . . I don't know pain yet. But she is seriously making me uncomfortable with her karate! I'm glad REALLY happy to know she's alive, but I really don't think it's a necessary reminder every second.  If today was a sneak peak into the next 4 months, joy is me. "Oh she's kicking" always sounded so cute. CUTE. mmhm.

Any way. I ate my orange and now I'm hitting the sack. At least I'm hoping I knock myself out.

Mr Smith and I, well, more like Mrs Smith (me) stressed herself out and is probably making herself sick by finding grief and making something stressful. Expectations. They're stupid. Mr Smith half pities my woes. He tried to come home on time like he said he would so we could go to the store. So I end up trying to get there alone before it closes and I can't find the store. Woe Woe Woe. So we go to Walmart for milk and canned soup to add to the food storage so that Mr Smith sleeps a little easier at night.

PPS - the smell in the apartment may be linked to wiring in our water heater. They said they fixed it. But that smell still lurks when you initially walk in. It's a fire hazard. We'll pray extra hard for safety tonight.

    The kicking will start to subside some as baby grows and there is not as much room to wiggle around :) But those feet in your ribs will always be painful. All the way to the end... :)

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

Will We Seek Jesus?

By
God expects us to hold happiness and sorrow at the same time. It’s a beautiful contrary that many of us struggle to understand, but it’s really key to understanding our purpose on earth. We can easily find ourselves in a battle of emotions if we can’t accept that both can exist at the same time; we will falsely accuse ourselves or others as either ungrateful & weak, or overly strong & fake. Perhaps a lot of it is how we speak to the struggle.  Our main purpose is to experience heartache & frustration (one side of the coin), but to overcome it through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which provides everlasting joy (the other side of the coin). In order to really value the Atonement of Jesus Christ, many of us are humbled by the feeling of hopelessness. We will all experience some level of loss & acute awareness of our own weaknesses, usually when things start to feel out of our control. But what does holding both sorrow & joy look like? That is a quest...
