A little blog of Catholic wifehood, motherhood & dreams
Hello dear long-neglected blog! It's refreshing to be back.
I'm happy to report that the house is in reasonable order and routine, I know what's for dinner, Adrian is napping on the couch, and I've finally resumed more work on the magnum opus this past week and it's been gloriously inspiring. Rose ... I haven't written anything about her here. It's been quite the half-year of not blogging, not on purpose naturally but you know ... anyways, we are more than halfway through the journey of waiting to meet our sweet daughter after losing Stephen-Mary. So much could be written here but I don't have time and my eyes are dry and tired from being on a screen too long and wearing embarrassingly old contacts. It's enough to write her name alongside ours. Husband, myself, Adrian and Rose. It has a good ring to it. I found a coffee table last weekend for $25 at the thrift store and I told my husband it makes me feel like an adult. Whatever that means. But it is marvelously large without being too large and really expands our living room somehow. I put some blue-painted vases (also collected at said thrift store on same said day) with some artificial greens as a centerpiece and am a very happy woman. Waiting on curtains for our living room and kitchen to arrive! We've only lived here a year!! Yes, I have been rather frantically nesting in some places and fluff the couch pillows three times a day. Well, every time someone sits on the couch. We went to the beach with my family right after Easter and it was just lovely. Hence the beautiful shoreline image adorning this post. Stock, of course- I hardly ever take pictures. I leave that to gifted siblings. Husband's precious grandfather passed away the Sunday after Easter and we'll be making the cross-country trip to his home state in two weeks for the funeral. I have been embarrassingly emotional and hormonal this pregnancy and in many ways feel like I'm pregnant for the first time all over again, so strange and new a territory this is. All shall be well eventually. She's worth it. Did I mention I've resumed work on the magnum opus? Of course I did. But saying it twice pleases me twice as much as saying it once! I shall finish this work before I die!!!
