Simply me. (a short update, more later)

I've been missing for quite a while, it seems, from both blogs. Lately my facebook has been missing regular updates from me as well.... I just got too busy and overwhelmed to sit down and write anything. Plus, as I've mentioned elsewhere, uploading pictures has become quite a chore. My wonderful father-in-law was able to fix my computer yet again. I am so grateful that he was able to do so, and that he even WOULD go out of his way to fix it! :) I seriously have the best father-in-law EVER. Must be where DH gets it....
   I have slowly been transferring old blog posts from my original, A Little South of Sanity, to this little piece of web space with intentions of simplifying. I'd like to keep record of my ramblings from what seems like so long ago. That title is an absolutely perfect analysis of happenings at that time in my life. Much the way "Loopy Lorraine" is a terrific way of describing the two years following "A Little South of Sanity". I believe that now, as I near age 27, I am finally finding my way back to me:: simply, Kristiraine. :) A nic-name my dearest cousin gave me so, so long ago when NKOTB was the hottest thing since cinnamon applesauce. ha.

Reviving the Writer

... Deciding to revive a once-lost memory is intimidating. The will to bare your thoughts, sometimes unedited, for public viewing, conjures images of hiding behind my mother's dress at church -just to get a good peek at things before edging into view.  If only writing gave us at least that safety net.  A conversation with a friend inspired this post, a decade after shutting down and retreating to small blurbs on social media.  I asked why she hasn't 'written that book.' You know, when judging others, you're just asking to be judged yourself--and our toughest judge typically is our own inner voice. Henceforth, I have determined that on this day, in order to practice what I speak, in absolute protest against my tendency to imposter syndrome, I'll be writing again.  It isn't that I stopped communicating but I stopped sharing my thoughts so openly.  I'll update the happenings of the past decade and plan a fresh look to this space.  Everchanging, Kristen

Trip called 9-1-1.....

Current mood: shocked Category: Life My son called 9-1-1 today....Yep, he did! I was in my room, on the phone with my mom and Trip runs in with the other line and says "here Momma....." The other line:: "Hello, this is 9-1-1 what is your emergency?" me:: "excuse me?" Trip:: "Genna did it." me:: "What? No way. I'm so sorry. No, there is no emergency....etc....." Turns out, Trip did call.....because Genna-Clair supposedly told him to....I doubt she even knows what 9-1-1 is. Trip does because we studied it in our preschool curriculum. But he also knows when it should be used. I'm pretty sure he didn't think it was real...or that it would go through. Well, the police officer came and asked "who the culprit was"-his words- Trips eyes got watery and he was thoroughly embarrased. We talked about who 9-1-1 is for, how and when it should be used, and why it was not okay for Trip to call today. I think he got it. ~sigh~ T...
