Things That May Help You Put This Nonsense in Context:
1. When I started this blog in 2008, we had lived in Mississippi for three years. Our third child was seven months old, and we'd already converted to Catholicism. In other words, all the back story had happened before the blog started. Some day I may write about our conversion, but every time I think about how many words that would take, even I get overwhelmed.
2. We moved from Mississippi to Connecticut in February 2010. I was almost seven months pregnant with our fifth child, and the move was extremely emotional. This explains the giant gap in blogging from January 14th, 2010 to April 5th, 2010- I was busy pouting. But I got over myself and started plugging away at the blog- if only to try and find my sense of humor again.
3. Life is beautiful. All life, all the time, because all life is a gift from God who is Beauty itself. But life isn't perfect. It is messy, and chaotic, and painful, and heartbreaking, and breathless too. Also, it generates a lot of laundry. The purpose of this blog is to praise God for the gift of my life, my husband, our children, and all of you. The purpose of this blog is to share this life with all my far-flung family and friends. The purpose of this blog is to give me a creative outlet so that I do not run screaming down the street.
4. If you want to contact me, you can email me at clan_donaldson(at)yahoo(dot)com. Or you can call my mother who is better at listening to her voice mail than I am about mine.
Thank you for visiting. And remember, it's a fool what looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
