Thankfulness

January 30, 2010

A year ago today, McDaddy left for a six-month deployment in Cuba. Today, I am thankful for togetherness. … Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.    Colossians 2:7

A Bunch Of Stuff

January 29, 2010

I’m sitting in my BBB chair watching The View on the DVR, and my mind is full of stuff. I know y’all are probably sick to death of hearing about the blood pressure, so I’ll do us all a favor and not mention that today. I will say though, that I am seeing a kidney specialist [...]

Making Things Happen

January 26, 2010

There are three types of people in the world. People that make things happen. People that watch things happen. And people who say, “What just happened?” McDaddy is 100% the kind of person who makes things happen. For instance, this week, we are in the midst of some major basement renovations. Or I guess if I’m being honest, [...]

January 25, 2010

I learned a number of things this week, but sadly, I have a monster headache thanks to my stupid blood pressure and am not sure I can think clearly. And since I’ve spent twelve hours over the course of two days in the ER, most of what I learned this week took place there. I’ll [...]

It’s 9:12 pm and I am sitting in my big, blue, bloggy chair writing my post for tomorrow. McDaddy and I are watching Grey’s Anatomy in live time which is weird because we rarely watch anything in live time anymore. I am doing my best to keep myself stress free because my blood pressure is [...]
