Feeling like a failure and I feel helpless against it.
Why is this? You are certainly not a failure in God's eyes and also in the eyes of those that love you. I will say a little prayer for God to give your self-esteem a much needed boost.

I don't even know where to start. I'm a 31 weeks pregnant stay at home wife and mom with 2 toddler girls and my house and kids' diet looks like all I do is sit on my rump all day. In fact, lately, I can't seem to get done what I want to.
Just today, all I did was scrub the bathtub and that was difficult, and I broke down and cried in front of my 4 year old and told her that she made me sad because she peed on the floor instead of using the potty.
I feel like I'm not doing what I need to be.

we have pink dogwoods too, some of them almost red :)

i've always lived with cats, and also always with these trees - which were endangered for a while in the Appalachians. all my cats have always loved to climb on them, moreso than most other trees. i think their size and the way their branches spread makes them good cat-scale trees. but never once have i ever seen a dog even remotely interested in them. so i don't know why people call them dogwoods -- catwoods, more like it, and i'm sticking to my story :D

trilliums aren't easy to find, even in the thick woods here they are semi-rare. post's wife and he spent friday at a botanical garden in Clemson taking photos, and that's where the trillium picture i posted came from
I am not sure I would recognize a dogwood tree as a dogwood tree if the flowers were pink :eek: I did see some just as I was looking for dogwood trees to post an image... I could not find a good representation of the sort I see the most. One street I used to drive along when I would go to visit my daughter, was completely dogwood lined, and the flowers were all a very greenish yellow paling into whites as they aged, branches very spread out as you say, very much like the ornamental cherry trees; it is so easy to see how they grow splayed that way to maximize sun absorption :)

Thank you for sharing your lovely purple trillium :):):)

I got to ride the bus for free today. The fare box wouldn't take my dollar. Apparently the bus company has a new rule regarding the fare boxes. If they don't take your dollar, you ride for free. :)

Did you save that dollar? I would keep it and always use it when I took the bus.

Tried out my new Keurig today. It makes an awesome cup of coffee and takes like 2 seconds to brew.. LOL.. AND it's quiet.. :)

Gonna do a couple magazine orders today. There is a blue comforter with orange kitties :eek: on it, and it's on clearance so there's only FIVE left in stock. And in another magazine, there is a black-cat-shaped coffee pod holder, and a cat-shaped wire fruit basket that I want to get. The pod holder only holds 8 pods, but that's okay. :) This morning I had hot mocha coffee with peppermint mocha creamer in it. :)

Well, this sucks. :/ I just went to do that blanket order, and even though it says 5 left in stock, they're all sold out. :(

1 Corinthians 15:12) Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 .) But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 .) And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 .) Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 .) For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 .) And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 .) Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 .) If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 .) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
