From House Wife To Film Maker

CONTINUED From yesterday: Yesterday I left off saying that today I would share how I responded when my adult child/ren wanted me to respond to their mini !BLAM!s. Here’s how I went about it:

Tonight there was another step forward healing my relationship with my adult child that said they wanted nothing to do with me.  We spent an evening together, that they initiated, and it was wonderful.  So wonderful that we were supposed to watch a movie but we never got to it because we talked so long.  [...]

I just got in, it’s 12 ish and I have to say it’s with a smile that I’ve come to share with you… I’ve been so focused on where my life and healing has been going for the last month or so and there has been the need to fill my blogs with so many [...]

Yesterday and today I’ve been having fun with my children.  We went to the Dollar Theater to see two movies in a row: G-Force and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.  We had FUN    but I have to say all that food falling from the sky freaked me out    Came home and worked [...]

After posting I’ve decided to add this story.  It happened yesterday.  Since I was on the topic of detecting and overcoming worthlessness I thought I really should begin to include stories regarding this matter.  That will show my struggle.  Show the difficulty I’m having healing a relationship with a child I have hurt and may [...]

I was around five.  It was December.  The light of day was nearly extinguished.  We were in our family car on Main Street.  My mom pulled along side the slushy curb and parked.  She, my grandma, and I pulled on our hats, scarfs, and gloves that were piled in our laps waiting.  We got out [...]

Full day.  Woke to a new set of Christmas lights strung across my walls.   Dan, who typically falls asleep far earlier than Caleb and I, woke much earlier and while we slept he was busy taping lights to a wall to surprise me.   When I came out he didn’t point it out, didn’t say a [...]

When my children were growing I did everything I could that I thought would allow them to grow into strong and sturdy adults. Taught them how to interact with the adult world: how to ask for what they wanted, how to  approach adults with questions or for what they wanted/needed.  How to articulate their thoughts, shop [...]

Con’t From these previous posts: “What’s that you say??  Total honesty??” and “Looooonnnnng history of lying. . .” Lying is insidious.  
Someone that begins to lie for certain reasons, in specific areas over time can’t contain it.  Without noticing it slowly creeps around and sends off shoots like vines on the side of a house.  [...]

The day just finished nine minutes ago!  And I’m here reflecting.  This is where I break my day down and map it out for you in 550-650 words (hopefully ).  Today was mostly typical.  Worked on the business, went to my job.  Both went well.  Made headway on some of those picky icy areas that [...]
