The Awkward Pastor's Wife

           (I don't have a picture of lemons, but don't these cupcakes look delicious? Lol)     It was one of those mornings. I was in a bit of a rush and it was the one time ever that I woke up and my hair was doing amazing things. Yeah, never happens. I needed a shower cap in a really bad way. I started digging through cabinets and bathroom drawers. Hair bands, bobby pins and half empty shampoo bottles were flying all over. I knew that I had seen a shower cap around there somewhere. I just knew. I jogged my memory as quickly as possible and came to the realization that there was a shower cap in the bottom drawer of the kitchen. There it was! With its cute little rubber ducks printed all over it! I grabbed the shower cap, ran to the bathroom, started running the water and proceeded to pull the cap over my hair, only, I couldn't get the cap over my head. I squeezed, I stretched, I grunted, I screamed. I investigated the cap and it appeared to be defective in some wa

      I'm sad. I'm broken. I'm hurting. I'm feeling pain, anger, frustration, guilt, and completely out of control. Im exhausted, overwhelmed, out of sorts, and in a state of shock. Broken hearted, disgusted and flat out mad. I've cried and cried and when I didn't think there were any more tears, I cried some more.       After 2 years of wondering if I'd ever get pregnant again, we found out we were going to have a baby. We were busting at the seams, trying not to let the cat out of the bag until we could go see our families. I'd organized and lined up crib options, pulled out all my maternity clothes, and tried my best to resist the urge to bring all the baby gear up from the basement. I looked at books to read to my son in preparation for a sibling, made my prenatal appointment, and took my first photo to compare as my belly would grow.       A few days later, we learned that we had lost this one.     I laid down that night not knowing how I w

  So it's been quite a while since I've posted. Things have been quite busy in the Wall household. As busy as things were, I did manage to snap a few pictures of the items sent to me from Stitch Fix, however hectic the method was.  I do apologize, I am on the road and don't have my style cards with me. I may have to add those later, if at all.  What was in Stitch Fix #3 1. That Dress! - I loved it but I didn't love the price. Imagine a dress that felt like pajamas. Yup. Amazing!  Status- sent back  2. Tear drop tassle necklace - it was a nice heavy piece. Great quality just not "me". It was a little long on me as well. I just didn't see this necklace surviving motherhood.  Status- sent back  3. Chevron Blouse- I loved it! Again with the pajamas! This shirt was fabulous.  Status- kept  4. Yellow pants and Blouse- I saw this outfit of Pinterest and pinned it to my Stitch Fix board. I love that my stylist took t

  Even as a child, I tried to look my very best when leaving the house. Some people were just naturally blessed with the ability to roll out of bed and look angelic but others, like myself, need a few coats of primer and a lion tamer before heading out the front door. This is especially evident in teenage girls once they realize that they can take control of their hair, face and style.    BUT....   What about those poor defenseless grade schoolers? I know I've mentioned before that my grade school years were THE WORST. It's such an awkward time. Imagine walking around, completely unaware and disconnected from the fact that you have toothpaste around your mouth, gum in your hair, and toilet paper hanging out of your pants. You live in bliss until one day, your classmates begin to develop that self awareness before you do. GREAT.    With that in mind, let's talk about parents. I truly believe that my parents had my best interest at heart but I just don'

 Stitch Fix #2    Things have been wild around here but many of you have been asking to see my latest "fix". So here it is!     I would rather not show you all the pictures but I will, despite my utter displeasure and horror.     My Stitch Fix box arrived 2 days early this time! That's awesome considering how impatient and anxious I become as my "Fix" approaches. I have problems. Lol     FIX # 2 !!!!!  1. Paloma Cutout Jersey Top  I liked the feel of this top but it was ALL WRONG for me. So a huge no.  Status- sent back.  2. Roxanna Chevron Open knit Cardigan.     I really wanted to like this. The color was wonderfully coral and it was very soft. Even though it seemed to overwhelm my short stature I would have kept it, however it had some structural issues. The knitting seemed to be pulling away at the seams. This cardigan would not have a chance in my possession.  Status- sent back  3. Aimes Crochet

   Over the summer, we spent a couple of days with our good friends, Scotty and Kristen. It was truly a wonderful time. They have a son, E.,  who is just a little over a year or so older than my son. It was perfect. They made huge messes together, occupied one another, and it was just all around great for my son, who didn't get a lot of interaction with other children at that time.    They have the sweetest cat named Chin. You know cats and I don't get along very well but Chin is cool. He's different and special.  My son, never being around cats, was fascinated by Chin.    The second night that we were there, I was upstairs getting ready for bed when there was a knock on the bathroom door.  "Nathanael's doing something bad!" Exclaimed E.   "Go tell JD." I answered back.   I listened carefully. I heard his little feet bop down the stairs, followed by his tiny concerned voice exclaiming, "Nathanael's being mean to Chin!"
