apology.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Reflection on September 19, 2013
for what i’m about to write, i apologize. because some of what i’m going to say, i’m sure i’ve said a million times. probably even devoted blog posts to it. that fact doesn’t make it less true. so. i reiterate. those of you who know me and read my blog probably already know the nitty […]
lazy.

i’m sitting on the couch this morning. i decided today that since i had to be up early to put the finishing touches on a cake to be delivered before 8 am (by my awesome husband, to his cousin), and since i stayed up until 1 am working on said cake…i would turn on the […]

God and i are in a tough spot right now. have you ever had one of those spots? the tough ones? the ones where you are so angry about the direction things have headed in your life, so frustrated that you have made the best choices you felt you could possibly make–confirmed by wisdom from […]

as in -thyroidism. i own that now. i have looked at the symptoms and the treatments and the science behind this for probably two years now, always thinking, “huh. those symptoms sound like me,” but never really admitting that it could warrant testing (and, hello, no health insurance). to be honest, I’ve been saying, “noooo, […]
I can’t write. Again.

There is so much to write about…but nothing to write. Yeah, I know that doesn’t make any sense, but it’s reality. There is stuff…and I don’t want to say it out loud. And writing the words is “out loud.” Teenagers are so hard, friends. They are rocking my world. And yes: they. I have two […]
so irritating.

i have a splinter in the side of my right palm. it freaking hurts. i dug at it with tweezers. picked at it with my nails. poked it with a pin. i proved, once again, that i am NOT ambidextrous. i put triple antibiotic and a bandaid on it last night and went to bed, […]

i had babies once. in my mind, it wasn’t very long ago. in my mind, those babies are all still pretty little. so when i yell up the steps, “OK, small children, it’s time for dinner!” and i get no responses, i quickly remember why. because, duh, mom, we’re so not small children. whatever you’re […]
selfish.

i am selfish. ever noticed something about yourself that sucks…and realized how serious the issue really is because you suddenly realize how it could be affecting the people around you? i take pride in the fact that i give. i work really hard at giving. i work really hard at working. all. the. time. i […]

Apparently, for the rest of my life, I’m going to wake up on this morning and remember. As I walk through the day, I will remember exactly what I went through that morning…every movement…every motion…every fear…every laugh. The trip to Dunkin Donuts sans makeup. The coffee spilled on my perfect tea-dyed shoes. The comb sewed […]
Posted by malindar in Life, Reflection, Song on May 23, 2012
I meet with you and my soul sings out As your word throws doubt far away I sing to you and my heart cries “Holy, Hallelujah, Father you’re near!” My hope is in you Lord all the day long I won’t be shaken by drought or storm The peace that passes understanding is my song […]
