Welcome back, but hey nothing wrong with taking time out from here for all the fulltime giving you been doing for your new baby! Hope your return brings the fulfilment you seek :)
Wow, I have been out of the blogging community for WAY too long. I fell off the wagon so bad that I think the wagon just ran me over and left me for dead. I'm not even sure what round I was on when it happened. I need to start fresh. Not worry abo...
Don't give up. Remember to enjoy each moment even when it's the most difficult. Go to your happy place.
It's been a long time, but I still remember how exhausting pregnancy can be. Especially when you are caring for a toddler too. I don't think your sense of giving is gone, or you wouldn't be feeling sad. Every minute of everyday you are actually gi...
It has been so long since I feel like I've done anything of value to add to this blog. Sure, I've given little things here and there, but I've truly lost something in my sense of giving. Maybe its the exhaustion of being pregnant. Then I thought, ...

Resurfacing
Wow, I have been out of the blogging community for WAY too long. I fell off the wagon so bad that I think the wagon just ran me over and left me for dead. I'm not even sure what round I was on when it happened. I need to start fresh. Not worry about rounds or numbers.
Anyway, I'm back. I need to be back. There is such a hole inside of me. This is what is missing. I have been a part of this community, watching it grow for over a year now. But I have spent way too much time on the outside. I blam… Continue

Where am I???
It has been so long since I feel like I've done anything of value to add to this blog. Sure, I've given little things here and there, but I've truly lost something in my sense of giving. Maybe its the exhaustion of being pregnant. Then I thought, "maybe I'm done?" But really, how can one be done with helping others???? What a sad, sad, thought. I need the fire within me again, and I'm not sure where it went.

Sharing Give
Not that I'm really counting it as a "give" but I thought I'd share my good news with you all - my giving family. I'm pregnant!!!!! 13 Weeks. Went to the doctors today and all is well. So far its been smooth sailing. I'm very excited. My little guy just turned 3 and it's time to add to our family.... so happy day....

What happend?
Ugh... I don't know what has happened to me in the last couple of weeks, but I've been so wrapped up in the me of things that I've fallen off my giving wagon. I'm sure I've done some little things, but sitting here I can't recall one. This is terrible....
But alas, beating myself up over it only causes me to dwell in what I'm not doing, so I will stop. Tomorrow I will start anew..... round 6.2 .... better late than never, right?

Round 6 beginnings
So round 6 has started, but I'm not sure that I have. I went away on vacation, only to get incredibly ill with asthma and have to come home early so I could go to the hospital. This last week I've been home and have only been slightly better (with another trip to the ER) but am feeling a bit better now (gotta love modern medicine) so I'm trying to remember some of the things I've done this week.

Ruth said… - That was great to hear back from you, Cheryl. I hope that the exhaustion of new motherhood is easing and that you've found time to enjoy the blaze of autumn leaves once in a while. I know you said winter's hard with you so enjoy cuddling up with the family and looking out at those winter days.
