I just wanted to let you know that I think you should blog more : ) Your blogs are very "real" & are so cool to read. They are not all about being perfect & decorating which I appreciate. I also appreciate you mentioning stuff about being ex UPC & making major life style changes which myself & several of my friends can identify with & its nice to read that we are not alone in that tough journey. I rarely comment on blogs but I just wanted to let ya know my thoughts from a stanger :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525096578828577523.post-7936206604807784612010-12-16T20:16:58.121-07:002010-12-16T20:16:58.121-07:00Awwww, Sweetheart. I do love you so. Haven't b...Awwww, Sweetheart. I do love you so. Haven't been online for a couple days (other than work where your blog link is blocked) and Dad asked me several times had I read your blog. Now I see why. You touched my heart. I hope it's theraputic for you to share your struggles. I know it touches others and makes them feel like they're not alone. <br /><br />I think I need a refresher on "praying for those that despitefully use you and persecute you" (sorry...my scripture memorization is all KJV). I can think of very specific things I'd like to do to anyone who bullies my grandson -- and all of them have violence associated with them. <br /><br />Have to admit -- can't help you with the Christmas spirit thing. I'm there with you. However, unlike you, I don't have the first Christmas decoration up in my house. However, since I'm hosting dinner on Christmas eve (will be missing you guys SOOOO much), I will force myself to exhibit at least the "physical" signs of the Christmas spirit. Hmmm... after further contemplation, I'm thinking maybe if you listen to my favorite AZ son & his wife sing "Strange Way to Save the World" (and beautifully, BTW), maybe that will help you get into the spirit!!!<br /><br />Love you so much,<br /><br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525096578828577523.post-156413488964014452010-12-16T14:27:18.467-07:002010-12-16T14:27:18.467-07:00Janelle, I've been worried about you since yo...Janelle, I've been worried about you since you haven't written in so long. I was delighted to see a new blog when I logged on this afternoon. YES - even a "whiney" one! :) Thank you for sharing your heart with us and being transparent. Some of the things you wrote indicate that you are a "super mom" even if T had to remind you that he needed clean underwear. LOL ! <br /><br />Yes, I hate bullies also - and you were much nicer than me - I can think of a lot of things that should happen to them - all worse than a "paddle to their behind" ! :)<br /><br />May Jesus continue to give you strength, courage and wisdom for the days of rearing your children. And you will find that you cry, pray and hurt more even as they continue to grow. :)Sullivan'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950307536323012740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525096578828577523.post-6099607991094584592010-12-15T08:39:43.413-07:002010-12-15T08:39:43.413-07:00Aw Janelle...this is a great post!

And if they really send their kids off to do all of those activities and still keep a perfectly clean house, then my guess is that they really don't spend quality time with their children...like having a great talk and prayer about bullies! You are doing a GREAT job! <br /><br />At least you take out your frustration by cleaning. I just make a batch of cookies and eat them all while watching tv. So then I am frustrated because of the weight i've gained and the new mess in my kitchen! :)cheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573039800770245238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525096578828577523.post-75840839905895811452010-12-15T06:10:14.418-07:002010-12-15T06:10:14.418-07:00I love you.

I know we're tight. ;) I love it when you keep it real! I just wrote about how hard it was for the Christmas Spirit to arrive this year, too. Sounds like we're not the only ones either. God has been rocking our boats this year, teaching us to hold on with a fervent grip to Grace. And I'm tired and weary of hanging on, but that's all I can do! <br /><br />If it helps, I spent a good portion of the day yesterday plugging and unplugging the vacuum cleaner in, thanks to the evil amounts of cheerios and raisins I kept finding everywhere. EVERY.WHERE. And then my son decided to get into the rash cream while he was supposed to be napping. Still trying to figure out how I'm going to get it out of the upholstery and curtains. Oh, and my corduroy pants...<br /><br />Hang in there, sister!LeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360378882035668129noreply@blogger.com
