figuring it out.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection on April 4, 2015
i saw this posted the other day, and it got me thinking. i’m sure the thoughtfulness had something to do with the fact that “we’ll figure it out” has been something of a hated family motto over the past seven or eight years, and that, recently, it has renewed vigor. and actually, more than getting […]
all i can do

i was slammed this week with several things i just can’t handle. and, you know, i’ve been slammed with a lot of things in my life i was pretty sure i couldn’t handle. none of them even came close to this week. not one. i sat in that counselor’s office on two different occasions and simply […]

Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Cake, Life, Reflection on January 24, 2015
lately, Saturdays have been completely out-of-my-ordinary. generally they make me crazy…two or three stressful cakes, running errands, catching up… the recent change is hard to get used to, actually. last week, i sat on the couch the ENTIRE DAY (after an hour and a half delivering a cake) and watched movie after movie. i don’t know what […]
failed.

about a year ago, after realizing the depths to which a father can sink, my then-14-year-old daughter blamed God. for everything. everything bad that ever happened in her life, every question she could come up with that flew in the face of everything she had been taught for 14 years, every single, solitary questionable thing. […]
mothers
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Reflection on May 9, 2014
this Sunday is Mother’s Day. yep, two days from now. it will be my 16th as an actual, bonafide Mom. something about that number freaks me out a little. maybe because it’s so freaking close to 20. i don’t know. it struck me this morning that next year will be my twentieth college reunion. good […]
thinking.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection, Writing on January 31, 2014
have you ever noticed that when you sit down to write something which will eventually receive a) a grade or b)a potential critique…you write more intently and more intentionally than you would if you were sitting down to write yourself a note? think back to college. high school, even. you write yourself a note–something you […]
control.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection on January 23, 2014
i don’t really think of myself as a control freak. i like to know what’s going on, i like to have a firm grasp on my reality. but i don’t think i’m a control freak. (my children would disagree, i’m sure.) (and maybe a few other people.) (i digress.) things have felt pretty seriously out […]
so far.

so. we’re a week and a half in. we are still alive. i feel this, in itself, is an accomplishment. here is what my kids are doing: Bryson is spending a lot of time building. and, umm, building some more. yesterday, he found the supplies on Garry’s Mod to build a hovercraft, figured out […]
question.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection on January 21, 2014
i have a question for you: when someone presents information to someone you love that flies in the face of what you believe and makes your heart race…what do YOU do?? and just for kicks, what do you do when, after deciding to move on and let it go because it’s not worth your stress, […]
enough.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, Reflection on January 20, 2014
lest anyone think that because i’ve been posting so often lately, i must always have deep, deep thoughts which may eventually become blog posts… …i am not thinking deeply today. actually, i’m maybe not thinking at all. (yeah, right.) i need days like that, though. and those days… they are few and far between. have […]
