You know what I just did?
Wait for it……
I lay on my bed and read a book. For a whole hour. While the kids were napping. (They’re still asleep)
I rested. I closed my eyes. I listened to the silence. It was heavenly.
Normally, I’m rushing around….working, writing, calling, cleaning, organizing, putting toys away, emptying the dishwasher….blah, blah, [...]

Crabby is as crabby gets

Let’s be clear. I am NOT A MORNING PERSON.
In fact, I think my facial muscles are frozen in a permament sleep mask for the first hour (or more) that I am awake. It is close to impossible for me to smile.
And I hate, detest, abhor being startled awake (this does not include hearing my children [...]

I have to tell you about a 10 year old girl who is amazing.
Her name is Emily Berry. In January of this year, she was diagnosed with an inopearable brain tumor. Rather than bursting into tears, instead of yelling, “Why me?” this little girl waited until the neurologist left the room, she looked at her [...]

The BIG KID success!
Posted in A little piece of Heaven, Am I lucky or what?, Gratitude, Parenting, tagged Blogging, Children, Family, Kids, Love, Mommy, Motherhood, Parenting, Success on May 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Look at this…. This is the little monster who started to climb out of his crib last week.
So…now, the little climber has a big-kid bed (which he is currently in…napping away!)
And this means…the other big kid in the house moves from a twin bed to a FULL SIZE….
Heavenly!
Jump! Jump! Clap! Clap! Spin around! Mommy is [...]
Son of a….

Gosh darn it! (That is the PG version of how I feel right now!)
Just got a speeding ticket. 70 in a 60. Came around a curve…and there he was…police officer, just camped out. Very nice man. I contemplated lying (I’m hurrying home because I just got my period)…crying (I can produce tears on command)….using my [...]

This is what friendship looks like when you are three
And friendship in your 30’s….
Joy when you are 2….
And joy when you are 32…..
Simple love when you are 4 and 2….
And a little big kid love too….
Because I said so….

I used to be afraid of the phrase ‘Because I said so’. It may be number one on the list of things I had no intention of saying to my children. It was a phrase I detested hearing when I was young and I was determined it would NEVER, EVER, EVER come out of my [...]

Posted in Are you kidding me?, One of the many things I don't understand, Parenting, tagged Blogging, Children, Family, Kids, Life, Love, Moms, Motherhood, Parenting, Work on May 23, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Here’s a story that gets me a little fired up. A friend of a friend has a new baby. Baby’s Mommy was on maternity leave….and apparently wanting to head back to work after only a few days. The question constantly coming from her mouth: “Just what do stay at home moms do all day anyway? I would be [...]
The men in my life

These are the men in my life.
One has had my heart for 7 years now…the other for only 718 days, but it feel like a lifetime. One has brown hair and hazel eyes…the other, a little blondie with blue eyes, but they both have my heart.
They both love baseball, especially the Cardinals. They could eat [...]
