While Abbie was in the hospital, I had a rare opportunity to catch up on reading stuff other than "Cat in the Hat" and other kid-friendly fare (I can't ever get used to not saying toddler!). I got several magazines, including this month's copy of O Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and Redbook. There were some very good articles I may talk about later.
I haven't gone back to reading the magazines because they were in the bag that also had a can of formula that got crushed in transit. So, we have a duffle bag that is covered with gritty powder. Everything else in that bag is also covered with gritty powder. Rookie mistake. Next time, I'll have gallon bags in which to put the cans of formula.
As for books, the ones I had been wanting to read for a really, really, really long time and got to do so are: Ava's Man by Rick Bragg, The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, and One Writer's Beginning by Eudora Welty.
I'm over halfway through with Didion's book and can't decide between the remaining to which to tackle first. Any input from anyone out there?

About Me
- Aimee
- Imperfect Child of God who daily needs His grace and mercy because without Him, I am completely broken ~*~ Wife of a wonderful Man of God who is an incredible help mate and father. ~*~ Mother of two of the most beautiful little girls in the world. My children have taught me more about God, His love for us and more than I can write here. ~*~ Clumsy, unorganized, a hot-head at times, and my house is a mess more often than not, but I’m loved by a very big God who gave me the Ultimate Gift in His Son, Jesus. It’s a “big thought,” as my friend Angie used to say. So big, my mind can’t wrap itself around it. But I am ever thankful for and humbled by that Gift.

Hey there. I commented on your blog a long time ago, and kept you in my prayers during your wait for Abbie to get here and then after she was born. I always get to you through OTRGirl's website. And then one day, I discovered you had made the blog private. For some reason today, it let me in. I don't know if that's a fluke, or if you made this public once again. In any case, I'm glad to know what's happening with you (even if it has been really rough and crazy), and how I can be praying for you. I'm sorry you had to go through some craziness with people's reactions to your blog. While I cannot imagine what it must have been like to get that mess while you were focusing on your daughter's surgery, I can relate to people reacting in ways most unpleasant to the way we just share our hearts. The thing I really appreciate about you is that you are real, you share your heart, you share with humility, and you openly admit that you're learning and figuring things out on this journey. You don't put a veneer on the truth, nor do you pretend that you have everything figured out and perfectly done. (Those kinds of blogs are always boring, for it's obvious they are not being honest.) So keep on being brave in your authenticity, and thank you for letting me peek back into where God has you at this stage of the journey.
