Have you seen me?

If I believed in karma, I’d say we were getting a good dose of it.  If I believed in fate, I’d say she was out to get us.  But I don’t believe in those things.  I do, however, believe that our dog sensed the fact that we were thinking about finding her a new home.  […]

The screaming – Oh my the screaming…

Yesterday was Tia’s long-anticipated visit to the ENT. Well, long-anticipated for me. She didn’t know we were going until about an hour before the appointment. Because I believe in the element of surprise. And because I believe in not listening to the fearful cries of my daughter for any longer than necessary. Actually, she handled […]

Re-Post: Literal Art and the Worst Toy Ever Created

I’m exhausted today and I have mountains of laundry chasing me through the house like a really, really bad horror film. So I’m not going to even try to be original this morning. I’m just going to repost one of my favorites. The reason I pulled this one out is because my kids are marching […]

Girl’s Nite

Don’t you hate it when people misspell a word just because they think it amkes the event sound more catchy?  I mean, really, what’s the purpose of spelling night, NITE? Anyway, moving on…I had the privilege of joining my lovely neighbors for a girl’s NIGHT out last night.  I had been looking forward to this […]

I’m sorry but it’s all I’ve got today…

My friend Nicole got me started on this train of thought.  So you can thank her for the sad glimpse you’re about to get into my life… I recently got some new tea.  It’s fabulous, as this tea tends to be.  Given that my throat is enflamed and my tonsils are kind of tap dancing […]

Mini S’Mores Cheesecakes

Mmmmm…mouthwatering. We’re having friends over tonight for dinner.  It will be simple – grilled chicken, salad, bread – maybe grilled vegetables – I haven’t decided yet.  But the delight will come at dessert.  *UPDATE- So our friends had something come up and had to cancel so I’m not going to make these tonight – but […]

The good of blogging

Blogging is a great thing.  It is a powerful tool to reach numerous people with one minor strike of a key.  It does, of course, hold some negative effects, one of those being the addictive power it can hold.   There are days when I find myself sucked into the blogosphere as a means of procrastination.  […]

The one with all the vomit – and other funny stuff…

It is amazing to me how two children from the same two parents can be so very different.  Sloan has a penchant for melodrama.  He gets that from me.  I know you’re shocked.  I’ll give you a minute to let that bit of information sink in before we move on…  Better?  Yes, as a child […]

A Man and His Dog

When I returned home from Florida Tuesday night, the first thing I thought as I walked through the door was NOT, thank God I’m home. Instead I thought, What the *BLEEP* is that smell? Ahem. You see, the kids and I were gone for 14 days.  For 5 of the 14 days, Lee was also […]

Nine Years

To a man who constantly makes me laugh, makes me wonder, loves me well and is making all my dreams come true, I say Happy Anniversary. This was us then:   And here we are now: It hasn’t always been easy, but truth be told, it hasn’t been that hard.  God has blessed our marriage […]
