So the Drama

I don’t know how this happens.  Do I have a big sign on my forehead, advertising a need to have friends with drama?  I think I have an eye twitch.  Or some kind of a twitch.  It’s actually under my eye.  Twitching away.  Twitch.  Twitch.  Twitch.  It’s rather annoying.
I have become friendly with another girl [...]

Going Through the Motions

 So… Any “Buffy” fans out there?  I’m a huge fan.  I have every season on DVD (thanks Aunt Marisa!!) and the soundtrack from the musical episode on CD (thanks, Lura!!).  Last Friday I was driving out to Ches’ football game and I realized I was in the car all by myself and I didn’t have [...]

A Cool 97, Sweaters, My Civic Duty

It’s time to share my 3 Beautiful Things for this week:
1.  The weather has finally cooled down considerably.  Granted, today’s high was still 97, but when we woke up this morning it was quite cool.  It’s bearable enough that I can have the kids go outside and play before their morning snack.  I like waking [...]

Children’s Song

Hits a little too close to home, don’t’cha think?  Awww, who cares.  It’s hilarious. 

La La La La La La Laaaaaa

I love the weekend.  Ches is at home.  I get to sleep in.  The kids aren’t being rushed to get Aiden to school.  We all stay in our pajamas as long as possible.  We get to run errands as a family.  We get to attend church and worship as a family (even if it turns [...]

A Guide on How To Seriously Damage Your Child For Life

I am such a bad mommy.  Really and truely.  I’ve been having a hard time of late, and I don’t really know why.  Everything has been getting to me, and Ches’ long hours at school haven’t helped.  I told him the other day that I’m going to need “a night off” where I can do [...]

Shiver Me Timbers!

Ahoy there, me hearties! Today be “Talk Like a Pirate Day“.  Have some fun ye lubbers, or ye be walkin’ the plank to Davy Jones’ locker.  (If ye be talkin’ like a pirate, I won’t be callin’ ye a lubber for long!)  Shine ye boots and put on ye eye patch smartly… me hornpipe be [...]

A Guide on How to Give Whiplash to Complete Strangers While Shopping

I did the funniest thing Friday!  I was babysitting two little boys, Carter (4 yrs) and Gage (18 months).  We went to pick Aiden up from school (which makes for one full minivan), and I didn’t have any other time to go but then, so I took all five kids to Sam’s Club to buy [...]

Whodunit?

I had a lovely surprise in my mailbox today.  A book!!  Someone bought me Twilight by Stefanie Meyer through Amazon.com and had it sent here.  There is no receipt in the package for me to figure out who was kind enough to buy this for me.  All I know is that I am in need [...]

Why Alyson Rocks

Earlier this week, and again last night, I got a phone call from Alyson (who, if you didn’t know, is my sister-in-law), just out of the blue.  There was no reason for it, she just called to talk.  It was really great… something I needed.  She listened to me complain and made me laugh.  Alyson has [...]
