Resurrection | The Blog of a Recovering Sugar Addict
https://sugarfreeforever.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/resurrection
The Blog of a Recovering Sugar Addict. Take that, sugar! So a lot has happened since I last posted in January. None of it is good – at least not as my eating is concerned. That one blackslide turned into a few days of backsliding turned into a few weeks turned into….you get the picture. I have not been sugar free in over 7 months. And in those 7 months:. I learned my son has Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. A devastating genetic condition that his father also has. I found that my job is very, very high stress.

Lavender Essence: I knit, too
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2007/02/i-knit-too.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Sunday, February 11, 2007. I knit, too. I am really not good at taking pictures, and even less good at uploading them to the computer. I guess it's not high on my priority list, for whatever reason. So I finally uploaded a couple pictures of my knitting that I took around Christmas time. Most of the things I knit are given away right away, so I never get around to pictures. This is a hat I knit for my niece. She was SO cute in it! March 5, 2007 at 5:49:00 PM EST.

Lavender Essence: I'm here!
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2007/06/im-here.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Friday, June 15, 2007. I haven't disappeared from the planet. Blogging seems to be something I can't make time for lately! We had the one year anniversary of Marissa's death last June 11. We turned off the phone and nobody got their calls returned. We did get a few messages from people letting us know they love us and were thinking of us and that really truly means the world to me, so THANK YOU to our friends who did that for us. The day before was worse. I th...

Lavender Essence: February 2007
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Thursday, February 22, 2007. This is the whole "Secret" phenomenon. Something I think most people inherently know anyway, but it makes it seem easier somehow. We all know people who are negative about everything and conversations with those people always go in the same direction. We spend lots of time hearing them wonder aloud why these things always happen to them. It is often perfectly clear to the rest of us. What cracks me up about the Secret is how ancient th...

Lavender Essence: November 2006
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. My 24 hour cold. I am consistently astonished and amazed by homeopathy. Soon I expect to have my annual conversation with my mother. It will go something like this:. ME: Mom, are you feeling OK? You sound like you might be sick. MOM: I hab a bad colb. I hab a feber of 103* and I am bery hot and then bery colb. ME: Sounds like it might be the flu. MOM: It is not the flu. I got by shot. ME: Are you sure? Stock up on the Oscillo! I hate ...

Lavender Essence: Those everyday things that go wrong..........and more
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2007/03/those-everyday-things-that-go-wrongand.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Friday, March 9, 2007. Those everyday things that go wrong.and more. I haven't posted for a while. I'm in school! I am totally impressed that you figured out the plumbing problem yourself, and I'm so happy for you that you are enjoying school! March 9, 2007 at 4:48:00 PM EST. Not too impressive, really, it's just motivating when I know we can't afford a plumber and I really want running water in the house :o) And thank you for being happy for me!

Lavender Essence: January 2007
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Friday, January 26, 2007. The baby is learning to crawl, which is really cute. He is taking his sweet time. Pushing up on hands and knees and looking around for approval. Kids #2 through #5 were all zipping around on all fours at 5 months, pulling to stand at 6 months, and taking first steps at 8 months. I am enjoying this slower pace. This is the track Marissa was on. So what the heck am I doing up right now when all the children are sleeping? I watched Marissa a...

Lavender Essence: March 2007
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Friday, March 23, 2007. I love school. I'm doing really well. Marissa led me here. It was so perfectly orchestrated. I was really high on that for a while. Now I'm back to what seems to be my set point. I thought about putting a positive spin on this, and I could, but that would not be the truth, and the truth is what matters most. How do people live with this pain? And the roller coaster? Does it even out eventually? And at what cost? Friday, March 9, 2007. I am ...

Lavender Essence: Done with the Flea
http://barefootmamma1.blogspot.com/2006/12/this-will-be-only-my-third-post.html
My journey through grief and motherhood. Sunday, December 10, 2006. Done with the Flea. This will be only my third post regarding this ridiculous debate over my daughter. I do not know how one becomes a "mega blogstar", but I have neither the desire nor the time to attempt to become one or to argue with one. I have 5 small children still living and who need my care and attention. I may come back later and post some relevant links. Right now I must go so I can take my children to a friend's birthday p...
