It's just a season. . .: October 2009
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
It's just a season. . . Wednesday, October 21, 2009. The beginning. . . So, I said I'd never start a blog (to myself, that is) but here I am. That is how it usually works with me- part of me wanted to do it- but stubbornly, I didn't want to be one of "those people". Anyway, here I am. Really this is for me- to quiet the constant dialog in my head. Really that's a lie. So, we will see. I am anxious to get out these thoughts that at times drive me crazy- if only for me.

It's just a season. . .: The Truth About Me
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2009/12/truth-about-me.html
It's just a season. . . Friday, December 11, 2009. The Truth About Me. It is easy to judge someone's spirituality from the outside- I know, 'cause I've done it. I did it a lot, especially when I was doing all the things "good Christians" are supposed to do. Now I am that. Don't misunderstand me. I am not saying "doing things" or being involved at church is bad. ( Judging those who are involved is just as bad as judging those who aren't! I am just sharing something God showed me about myself. Just for Him...

It's just a season. . .: November 2009
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
It's just a season. . . Thursday, November 5, 2009. That was ten years ago- she died right after my son was born- and still I am left feeling that we should have done something. My kids rabbit died and we had a funeral in the backyard-. And even saying that I realize it wouldn't be for her- but for me. To say goodbye. I put on great performances for her and her friends (I would never do this at home in front of my brother) and she helped me set up a "restaurant" complete with menus in her kitchen. Really...

It's just a season. . .: December 2009
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
It's just a season. . . Sunday, December 13, 2009. Continued from part 1 (November). Maybe she thought she didn't do anything special enough to need a funeral. Maybe she didn't want my mom to have to go to the expense. Or maybe because she'd lived long enough to see all her sisters, brother, parents and two loves die- she had just accepted that this was the next phase of her life and like she'd said, she was ready. Seriously. It was too much for me. And there was my Baba. Just another old per...I was des...

It's just a season. . .: up to the sprinkle donut
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2010/05/up-to-sprinkle-donut.html
It's just a season. . . Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Up to the sprinkle donut. Lucy and i have this sweet saying between us. it goes, "i love you up to the sprinkle donut." lately, it has turned into, "i love you up to a thousand sprinkle donuts, up to all the sprinkle donuts in the whole world.". We have a thing for sprinkle donuts. Really, i don't even remember when we first started it. i know it evolved out of the book Guess How Much I Love You. Believe me, me too. I kept imagining my life as a board game...

It's just a season. . .: Splashin' Water Park
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2010/01/blog-post.html
It's just a season. . . Thursday, January 7, 2010. Today it was a water park- complete with a concession stand, first aid supplies, and work shifts for each of the kids. They all fell in line. She can be quite bossy (who knows where that came from). But they all love to be a part of the magical places she creates. I am talking from experience, of course. And I am married to a guy who didn't have any sisters. He pokes fun, pushes my buttons, "splashes" me so to speak. All in fun, he says. ...Watching Nate...

It's just a season. . .: Treasures
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2010/01/treasures.html
It's just a season. . . Tuesday, January 5, 2010. You can't make a three-year old be in a hurry. I started wondering how many things I miss being in such a hurry through life and a bit annoyed with myself that I was trying to hurry her along with me. Had I lost the ability to appreciate the little details or was I just choosing to ignore them? I decided it was the latter. Who knows what treasures I might find. Wow I LOVED this post! Great reminder Erin. Thanks for writing :). January 6, 2010 at 5:24 PM.

It's just a season. . .: March 2010
http://itsjustaseason.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
It's just a season. . . Monday, March 22, 2010. I entered a contest this week to win a beautiful necklace. The entry was, "what is your favorite Jane Austen novel? I have thought about it and I realize that I love these kinds of novels because they let me experience, vicariously, what I, as a married woman can only reminisce about- that time when I first fell in love- before anything was certain, before I knew he felt the same and just the sight of him made my heart pound and my hands shake. And if the b...
