I met my best friend when I was 10 years old. She is loyal, inspiring, smart, beautiful, and kind. I was mean to her in the 5th grade. ME? The bully? But, in 6th grade when I found myself entering band and knowing no one (much less knowing how to play the awkward instrument my […]
Trying Not to Walk in Circles
Because I want to be just like Amber when I grow up, I’m going to take a break. I know I said that the first time, but I really mean it this time. I need some time to think and not write where people misunderstand what is in my heart. Don’t worry, I’ll be taking […]
At Least We Didn’t Blow Up. And Other Positive Thoughts.
So, although I was joking yesterday about my husband’s man trip, I really have had a fabulous 24 hours without him around. It’s not that anything spectacular has happened, but that I’m choosing to make it fabulous despite how much I miss him and want him home. Here are some ways to look at the […]
The Man Trip
I think my husband has had at least one man trip every year since we’ve been married. And, I will emphasize AT LEAST. What do I classify as a “man trip”? 1. They have no responsibilities other than taking care of themselves for any period of time that lasts longer than 12 hours. 2. They […]
Pre-K Graduation: An Un-Necessary, But Enjoyable Activity
Today, we participated in another unnecessary end of the year activity. Preschool graduation. While I do enjoy this activity, the fact that my son still has one more year of preschool left made it a little…well, unnecessary. Why not call it the end of the year program? But, the girl on the end who was […]
Ten Signs That the Last 2 Weeks of School Aren’t Necessary
No disrespect to teachers out there. You have the hardest job in the world. And, I am extremely grateful for all the work you do. Just knowing that there are kids that you are teaching that puke on their desks because their parents send them to school sick and you have to go on with […]
Stop Praying for Patience Right Now
While everyone was celebrating Memorial day, I was stewing with something I didn’t know how to process. My first instinct was to sit down at the computer yesterday and pour my heart out (my usual routine). But, I decided to give it another day and see how I felt. I decided to reflect, and pray, […]
A Whirlwind
The past few days have been a whirlwind of activity. Sometimes I stop and wonder, how did my life get so busy? I thought that wasn’t supposed to happen until your kids are teenagers? It started Thursday with the inspection for our house….all is looking good so far. Fingers crossed. Then, we were off to […]
The Will of a Four Year Old
Four years old. It’s a fun age. So many questions non-stop it will make your head spin. The world is so exciting, and they just want to soak it up 253 questions at a time. It’s lovely because they become more independent. They want to do things themselves, and they can. They (hopefully) are potty […]
