How Are You Feeling?

By
Everyone: "how are you feeling?"
Me: "fat & tired"

In all reality, I've gained 30 lbs so far
and they expect me to gain 5 more.

I haven't been this exhausted in awhile:


indigestion. sore ribs. shortness of breath. sore feet. sore back.
you'd think I do more than sit at a desk all day with those symptoms.
or you might think that's exactly what I do.
but granted, I am carrying a 5+ pound child - in my stomach.

And I think I have everything I need for the said princess (?!)
Well, everything that can't wait until she comes {there is always more I could want/need}
So here comes the waiting period

35 weeks is definitely the point where you hit the wall.
It's where I hit the wall & just want-to-be-done

Mr Smith still wants attention and deserves all I can muster.
But we also still need to finish our taxes. whyyyy is everything so hard to do.
Mr Smith just wants to snuggle and that's waaay more inviting.

Sorry I'm still whining and not telling you anything inspirational.
Children are a gift. I'm soooo excited to meet this angel.
But we do have to work hard for great things.

    I can relate. Eli was a week late. I thought it would never end. The doctor told me a few weeks ago that women usually--not always, but usually--follow patterns and to expect this and future babies to be late also! Great. haha. But even though you might not be feeling wonderful, you look fantastic! That's always a good thing. :)

    haha! I didn't realize this computer was signed into Jet's email address. This is Megan. He would probably die if he saw this and I didn't clarify.

      LOL I figured as much. Awesome. Eric loves when I comment as him on fb. And thanks! I will just take your word for it cause I don't think I look fantastic, but it's funny how you begin to care less & less about that. My mind is elsewhere, basically tapping toes. I can't believe you're going through this again! props to you. I hope you're feeling well. I wish we lived closer!

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

By
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...
