From House Wife To Film Maker

I was at Walmart tonight.  Went in purposefully intending to not rush.  Take my time.  Acutally look around.  Think of and buy the things I keep forgetting, like ground cinnamon, because I’m always moving through with a blue streak trailing behind…
So there I was minding my own business, enjoying the stroll, or should I say [...]

Einstein:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
For years I’ve pretty much been doing the same thing over and over again with my parents and expecting different results.  !BLAM!ming them was doing something different.
By not ever dealing honestly, openly, and calmly with the past and being straight up [...]

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 [...]

“Some things take years to learn, and seconds to understand.” I pulled this quote out of the blog called, “Becoming Jennie”.  Jennie is 26 and on the same path as I: finding herself for the first time and creating a new life.  Transformation is taking place in her life.  I only wish I could have [...]

Today. Great day.  Up at 6…  Again.  I do hope this doesn’t become a pattern…  Off to Gadsen, an hour away, to work a booth.  Back home to have a meeting with John1.  Off to get Zach.  Go to the “Christmas Carol” movie and a lunch of popcorn and Sprite.  The popcorn was terrific.  The [...]

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY…
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 [...]

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.  Left [...]

Con’t from the last post.
As I was saying…
I have a loooooooong history with lying.  Goes back to when I was a kid.  Lying was typically preferred to slaps in the face.  The belt across my legs.  Things like that.  I tried being truthful.  But somehow it just didn’t seem to work as well.  So if [...]

TODAY…
was more of the same.  Locked to my computer, making it happen.  Left around 4:45, got my kids, went to the new Silly Bandz store and got them the Christmas set, went to Barnes and Nobel we all drooled over books, the kids submitted an addendum to their Christmas lists, then to Walmart with just [...]

Had a meeting with John1 today we talked for hours about the “newest addition” that we’ve branched into as a result of working on the Red Book and Cotton project.   This project, like writing a book, is leading us.  Showing us where to go…
About a week or two ago John1 became burdened with what he [...]
