Sleep Study

Mr. Blessing and I had a huge fight! AND I snore. In fact, I think that might be why we had a big fight. Sometimes I find him sleeping in other rooms... and it makes me mad! He says he doesn't want to disturb my sleep... but it still makes me mad. Victorian ladies - even ones that wear blue jeans & live in farmhouses - are not supposed to snore!

We made up, of course. Because he's too "McWonderful" for me to stay mad at him. But still! We have 4 kids and have been married more than a decade. How long has he been sneaking around, sleeping without me and being so stinking considerate? And what reasonable explanation is there that THIS is what pushes my button? None I tell you. It's not reasonable to be mad at someone for being considerate. Darn it.

Mr Blessing Pursues Romance

So here's a funny story...

Last March my husband intercepted an email from one of the editors at Romantic Homes asking about my website. Apparently Mr. Blessing thought that if they liked the website, surely they would love to hear more about me. So he told them more. Imagine the all scary things that could've come up! He emailed back and forth with one of editors and then came to me one day saying, "Romantic Homes is sending some questions over. You need to reply..."

I'm so honored to be part of the Christmas issue! It's due to hit the shelves a week from today.

And if, like me, you're wondering what manner of bizarre conversation it took to convince the editor, I've pasted a bit of his email (I found it in my archives):

Polly is a true and real person of lovliness, graciousness, passion and is very talented in all that she touches. She is humble and grateful for all that she has and does. Her life story is amazing and I have asked her when she will write her story but she is not at that point in life yet for that to happen. I believe that if you take a look at the things she has created and nurtured, you will see that this is a person that would be a wonderful addition to Romantic Homes.
