We have some friends in town, so I’m late getting this post up. You’ll forgive me right? I felt like I had to get something up because next Monday, I may not be able to post either. Whoever came up with this idea to have a Monday link up was crazy. Oh yeah. That was […]
My big dream as a child was to be the person who bagged groceries. For the life of me I can’t fathom the draw of that job but it had my attention. Was it the long hours on my feet or the gathering of endless carts in the parking lot? I don’t know, but I […]
Are you afraid to say out loud that motherhood is hard? I used to be. I felt like other Moms didn’t feel the same way, or that I would be judged. In fact, I have been judged for that fact, but it made me realize something about myself….for me, it is a GOOD thing. To […]
My child has friends, but no best friend. When my daughter was eight years old, I had one of those parenting days where I felt like I got punched in the gut. My daughter usually comes home happy from school. I greeted her with a big hug and said, “How was your day?” “Not that good” […]

I frequently have big plans to accomplish all kinds of crazy things. And, they are frequently shattered by tiny little cute people. For example, this morning, I had big plans to organize my kids’ drawers/closets. So, after doing a few things not the computer, I settled the 2 year old down in front of the […]
One of my earliest childhood memories is when I was about 10 or 11 years old. We went to Six Flags in Arlington,Texas. I remember being old enough to ride the big rides, but not wanting to go anywhere near them. But, my Dad had other plans. He basically carried me, crying, onto the Judge […]
I started a painting project last week, and it is still not finished this week. The pre-kids me would have killed herself for two solid days painting that tiny 12×12 playroom (but it would have been some other room since I was pre-kids), but the “I have 3 kids” me can’t possibly do that. And, […]
