Tonight we will say goodbye to 2015 and welcome 2016. These are the times, like everyone, that I feel like I should look back over the memories from the past year. One problem though, I can’t for the life of me think of the details. Yes, we had plenty of good times this year, but apparentlyContinue reading “Reflections 2015”

I have to say, I hate the stomach bug. I have been through many illnesses with my kids and the one I hate most is the dreadful stomach bug. (Yes, I’m sure there is a real medical name for it but in my house, it’s just the stomach bug) My house has now had theContinue reading “God Always Shows Up (Even in the Midst of Vomit)”

Monday morning Johnny was saying bye to the kids and he said “Love you Logan” as we were walking out the door. Rather than the usual “Love you too”, Logan says “ok” and keeps on walking. What?! When did this happen? When did my baby boy turn into a pre-adolescent who is embarrassed to sayContinue reading “The Day My Son Stopped Saying “I Love You””

Today we are going to my Papa Lee’s 80th birthday party. As I have been making my dish to take to the potluck, I have been thinking about him and remembered a paper I wrote my freshman year of college. Due to my uber-organizational skills that drive my husband crazy at times, I still haveContinue reading “Papa Lee”

In any new situation I am going to be standing back, scoping out the situation, trying to determine where/if I may fit into this circumstance. Second, I’m a very quiet person. If I am not passionate about aContinue reading “Out of My Comfort Zone”

Tonight my family went to the Garland County Fair. We do not go to the fair every year. To be honest, most years I try my best to avoid it. I do not like chasing my kids in crowds, dirt, rickety rides, vendors yelling at me, and over priced games. I know, I know, what kind ofContinue reading “The County Fair…A Love/Hate Relationship”

I’m here to say, the struggle is real. My house is never clean. Would I love to have someone clean it, yes. Have I done that, yes. I just discovered that I was cleaning it before that person arrived because I was so ashamed of how dirty it was.  Now just how ridiculous is that!?!?Continue reading “A Clean House, Yeah Right!”

I know you have all been there. Any mother knows that sometimes you just need a few minutes of peace. Tonight was one of those nights. It’s been a busy, tiring day. It was filled with rearranging rooms, cleaning off porches and cutting down a tree. All of this with my three kids and myContinue reading “Today I Hid in the Bathroom”

I need to explain something, my daughter is a very strong-willed, independent little girl. To top it off she talks like an adult. Now, I do know that I only have myself to blame for this. To start with she is a lot like me. I would describe myself as high-strung, determined and set inContinue reading “My Strong-Willed Little Girl”
