Your willingness unzip the handbag of your soul and dump out it's contents...makes me want to empty my purse onto the table too.

It's like crossing the stream, rock-by-rock, and every rock is a new topic but all the rocks are in the stream so it is all relevant. And we get mashed potatoes with cheese at the end...how delicious! I love this journey-through-life post.

I just wanted to say I have an almost 16 year old daughter and I completely get the "hurting your feelings to the depths of your soul part" of parenting a teenager. When my daughter does that I go out and buy myself a big bouquet of flowers. It helps. A little. Cathy Hi,

I clicked over from Pioneer Woman’s blog. I just wanted to say I have an almost 16 year old daughter and I completely get the “hurting your feelings to the depths of your soul part” of parenting a teenager. When my daughter does that I go out and buy myself a big bouquet of flowers.

It helps. A little.

We were told to introduce ourselves, say something about ourself and then something about having a baby that scared us. There was a woman there with her husband. She was 42. She was pregnant with her first. She said, "I'm afraid this one will die just like the rest." Our instructor said, "Have you lost many?" "Yes." "Not this late, though, right?" "I've lost them at all points, including after they are born but I have a good feeling about this one." The instructor said, "I'm so sorry to hear that. Well, we all wish you the best of luck." I was speechless and of course my mind began to wander, just what happened? How many had she lost? Would this one work out for her? It bugs me to this day that I'll never know. I do hope she ends up (ended up? We're all due any day/minute now) with a son. It broke my heart. It still does. Anyway....

“Yes.”

“I’ve lost them at all points, including after they are born but I have a good feeling about this one.”

I was raised without religion so it was not a major leap for me, but, saying it out loud is very difficult. There is a finality to that. I am so worried about my daughters being teenagers. I hope my heart can handle it. I want a job too. I want recognition, to be somebody, to be excited, to be challenged. I have an idea, but don't know where to begin. This post read like butter to my frazzled brain. A few weeks ago i came to the stumbling conclusion that, for me, there is no God.
