On Things I Miss

June 17, 2014 Katy Leave a Comment

I want to write. I used to write all the time (being an English minor-almost-major in college will do that). I miss writing. Being back in my college town, back at my alma mater for convention this week, has me looking back and pondering all the things I miss.  Going to the morning chapel service yesterday, listening to the crowd swell with the four-part harmony of one of my favorite hymns, brought me to tears.

Yell! Yell! Yell!

photo credit "I do not like this one so well.  All he does is yell yell yell!" --Dr. Suess, One Fish, Two Fish Yelling.  This is something I have been struggling with lately in parenting.  Some days we get to bedtime, and I feel like I've spent my entire day yelling at Jonah and Matthew.  I hate that. There are moments when yelling is appropriate.  Like when the boys wake up from their naps, and I'm in the middle of feeding Hannah in the other room, I'll yell "Sure! Get out of bed!" or when … [Read more...]
