Trying To Sweeten Up

One week left until I begin my second trimester of this pregnancy and I have two words for you, first trimester:

GOOD RIDDANCE.

I have never been a fan of extreme fatigue or nausea not to mention the insecurities that come with the first 12-weeks. I am always glad to kiss it goodbye! The beginning of pregnancy and it's overload of hormones also provide ample opportunity for me to be a tad bit antagonistic and might I say ... snippy?

I have tried to write some things about current events (economy, the American church, modesty, the Twilight series, etc.) but I always end up with some very inappropriate adjectives.

So in an effort to keep my blog family-friendly I will keep these posts in my drafts for another week or so and allow Jesus to edit my thoughts a bit ;)

In the meantime, read what these other folks have to say. They are much better at articulating their thoughts AND they don't call anyone a stupid-head.
