There's a couple of blogs I read regularly that do weekly links to other interesting blogs. I thought maybe if I did one I won't always be starting conversations with "I was reading this blog the other day...."
A pastor's wife's view on Respecting Your Husband
I really enjoyed this list the first time around, so here's the review of 50 Ways to Streamline Your Life

maybe I'm doing something right
You know those cute posts everybody does where they ask their kids questions and we all get a glimpse into how much they apparently love cleaning and what-not. Ya, I tried it with Josh - we got 3 questions in before I called it quits, because, well, read it for yourself...
Me: What's mommy's favorite thing?
Josh: I don't know
Me: Well, what do I love the most?
Josh: Me.
Me: Okay, right, but what else do I like?
Josh: You just love me. That's all.
This little discussion reveals 3 fundamental truths about yours truly.
1) My self-absorbedness is hereditary
2) I have no hobbies
and
3) I've done a pretty good job of ensuring my kids know they rank above dishes, laundry, dirty toilets and all of my other favorite activies. Hey, what more could a kid need?

one week - a retraction
So, only because there are friends with whom I am only in touch via blog posts and because I opened the subject a while back - I'm putting this post out there so I can move on. Y'know with all those cute stories and witty observations you all love so much. Here it is...
No new Crosby baby in September. I went in for a regular appointment last week and we couldn't find a heartbeat (we had heard it the appointment previous), subsequent hours in the ER and two ultrasounds later I learned that the baby had stopped developing only days earlier. No obvious reason, just one of those things.
Mostly, we're okay. Sad, but okay. I can see God's hand in the experience - so much so in the timing; my mom was here when I found out, Trevor started a unusually long weekend off the next day, and I had an amazing nurse during the difficult hours at the hospital.
So that's it, that's all. You can ask me about it if you want - I probably won't cry on you, in fact, really like to talk about my little guy. I think maybe it helped that I knew of so many women who had lost pregnancies, so that I was able to be accepting of our loss. But mostly it was because I know I have a loving Heavenly Father who always does what's best for me - even if I don't understand why, or it feels like the worst thing in the world.
"I know in whom I have trusted. My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep. He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consumming of my flesh. " [2 Nephi 4: 19-21]
