An Update, The Short Version

by Alison on December 31, 2009

To say the last few days have been hard is an understatement. To say that I’m doing ok seems generic. It is true though, I’m doing ok. A lot has gone through my mind, a lot has gone through my body, and I am still processing everything, both mentally and physically.
The short version (at least [...]

Multitude Monday 151-175

by Alison on December 29, 2009

 151. the loving embrace of a husband sharing a moment of grief
152. the assurance that “He heals the broken in heart, he bindeth up their wounds”
153. Hershey Kisses to share with my children
154. ’smooth dark chocolate with real coffee’ to share with my husband
155. time to myself to think
156. time to myself to cry
157. time [...]

A Sad Weekend

by Alison on December 27, 2009

It’s been a sad holiday weekend here. After some spotting and then more bleeding, it was confirmed yesterday that I am in the process of miscarrying. I have a heavy heart, but I do know that “He heals the broken in heart, he bindeth up their wounds” Psalm 147:3. It’s going to be ok, we’re [...]

And A Little Croup to Boot

by Alison on December 22, 2009

As long as the asthma’s flaring up, why not make it interesting and throw in a little croup? That’s what the triage nurse thinks is happening here, after describing, and yes, imitating the sounds that I was hearing through the stethoscope placed on Dazzle’s back this morning. While she does have some typical squeaks and [...]

Asthma Again

by Alison on December 21, 2009

Dazzle started to cough a bit Saturday morning. That cough. Not the little tickle in the throat cough that comes with a bit of a ‘common cold’ or a touch of hayfever. She started coughing the cough of another asthma flare-up. It began mild and infrequent, yet she got a neb treatment with albuterol, rather [...]

When 9 Degrees Feels Pretty Good

by Alison on December 17, 2009

Yesterday’s high was supposed to be 3 degrees. At least they meant 3 degrees above zero, it’s rare, but we do get some of those days when the temperature never does make it up to zero… I don’t know what it actually got to, but any low single digit is just cold, and today’s 9 [...]

107. another cup of coffee to wash another cookie down
108. little hands reaching for “one [...]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Winter

by Alison on December 12, 2009

It’s about time. Really. I mean, I’m not even a fan of winter, oh yes, it’s pretty and all, I’d even say beautiful right after a snowfall, but I don’t like being cold, not one little bit. Ever since that time, way back when, that I spun across 3 lanes of 35W in freezing [...]

A Close Call With Hot Cider

by Alison on December 10, 2009

Safety is of the Lord (Proverbs 21:31) I truly believe that. While I don’t understand* why the Lord allows some of the things that he does, I do believe that the safety of my family, safety that I too often take for granted, is truly of the Lord. Accidents happen, we’ve had a few, 2 [...]

A Far From Wordless Wednesday

by Alison on December 9, 2009

Ok, been a bit busy and a tad drained, ready to jump back in with both feet- back into a whole lotta life and a bit of blogging to boot.

I just have to start off by saying that, although Mn/DOT was reporting some 600 accidents in the Frozen Tundra alone, we were not among [...]
