My Sacred Spot

The description of the Geography essay my junior year was to illustrate a place that is most sacred to you, where you go and seek refuge, where you go to escape and think……

When I finished the assignment, I handed it over to my brother with the title My Sacred Spot and asked him to proofread it. He looked at it, looked back at me, and said “You wrote an essay about your SACRED SPOT? And you want ME to read it????”

It was about the top of Thunderbird Mountain. It was not about a body part.

My sacred spot has changed. It is now the shower. I never realized how wonderful a shower could be, and how much I took the time it takes to take a shower for granted. Never again. If I get one in a day, its not without some serious planning….our little angel hates a clean momma, I’m sure of it.

Speaking of…..I LOVE BEING A MOMMA! Its the b.e.s.t., even with momentary lapses of insanity due to lack of sleep, body aches, and crying because I don’t know why he won’t stop screaming, I love every minute of it, and stare at him often and think of how precious this time is, and how it won’t last.

And as promised, pictures of our unfinished nursery (notice the frames….still in plastic, no photos yet), and our little man, cuddling with his dad.

After much thought, we have decided to go private. Its too bad one creepo has to ruin it for the rest of us, huh? Anyway, send me your email addresses, and I am HAPPY for you to follow us in the private blog world…..where I am happy to disclose our little boy’s name. If you don’t have my personal email or facebook, you can email your address to my work email, remi@atoneyoga.com. And don’t worry, even if I don’t know you very well (or at all!) I’m happy to have you keep up with us….unless you are said creepo.

You're mom just told me that you three are planning on Powell and it MADE MY DAY.

Please don't change your minds.

We miss you and can't wait to meet the little Mr.

Lately all of Lili's baby dolls have become boys. Like "Emmy's baby boy".

That should be enough to keep you motivated for Powell.

I'll gladly take the night shift with the little Mr.

Julie said...

When you said creepo were you referring to me? No seriously, is there an actual creepo out there? Or are you just saying, in general?

Of course I want to still view your blog. Especially if you include more pics of the baby boy.
