My mother, whom I referred to Leilani's Blog to see the most amazing little ultrasound picture, said I should go read it and be encouraged. Ha!
Today, in case you missed it, is NOT a good day. I feel incompetent in every aspect of my life. This is a tad unusual because usually I feel inadequate in several areas, but at least somewhat competent in one or two. (Yes, the lot of a melancholy, perfectionist.) But today I am acutely aware that I am not competent in any area. I recognize that this is probably not reality, but it doesn't help me FEEL any better.
I've yelled at my children (I hate this.)
Couldn't pull my act together at work (Pray Kids Church actually happens this weekend.)
The list goes on and on to bad friend, lousy wife, and stinky sister/sister-in-law.
Add to that - really whiny blogger who only shows up to vent and you have a "perfect" incompetent. Yay!
Oh well, the good thing is that I'm pregnant. Hormones fluctuate and I am unlikely to wake up feeling quite as miserable as I am right now. So, we'll look forward to a new day and better choices.
A word to the wise - if you're feeling like you don't accomplish enough in a day - don't read Leilani's Blog!
If you need inspiration to be a better person and more considerate of how you use your resources; space, time, money, etc. by all means stop by and relish in her industry~!
Ahh, my friend, you make the second trimester look like bliss!
P.S. Kate, the pie turned out great. Hubby said it's the best he's ever had. Of course, that's probably because he disinfected it with Caramel. (I bought it just in case it needed it.) But it made Kiddo and I feel great anyway! We might actually try it again.
Happy weekend, everyone!

Hey--I didn't notice the industry--I noticed the tiredness and feeling like crying syndrome! Perspectives, perspectives!
:D That's great (about the pie)
I'm not going through the same Hormones thing as you, but definitely having hormone fluctuation because of a new treatment I'm getting for that lovely little endometriosis thing . . . so the feeling inadequate and all that . . . yesterday, I was there, and MORE.
So I just heard you are actually going to be out east over Christmas. HMPH!
Don't be so hard on yourself! You do way too much! I admire your ability to be a Pastor, wife, mommy and friend...wow! God bless and hopefully you are feeling better today.
Thank you, loved ones, for your words of compassion and encouragment. It helps to have friends like you in my corner. :)
I commented right away and apparently lost it in cyber space...probably forgot to hit 'publish'. Figures.
But what I said more profoundly on Thursday night was that (a) I don't know who you're being a bad friend to, but it definitely isn't me! (And you can treat me even better by doing that biscotti swap. HAha. (b) There was one little girl who's day was made supremely happy by getting to go to Kid's Church. (c) Tbbbbbth. That's a raspberry. You know I only blog about the things I actually do. The rest is a great big silence...silent for a reason! (d) I think the hormonal fluctuations have been going around. Maybe it would pass us by if we would paint our lintels. Do you think red paint would work for vegetarians? Let's blame it on the weather. XOXO.
You're sweet, Leilani. And I am supremely happy that one little girl enjoyed Kids' Church. I think painting the lintels would help and I agree whole-heartedly - I blame the weather!
