Summer Fun Ideas

May 31, 2011

Summer is in my sights and I am happy to say that we are in the home stretch. It cannot get here soon enough for me. The alarm clock and I are not on good terms and I am ready to be done with it. I love summer and look forward to spending all day, everyday [...]

What I Learned This Week

May 30, 2011

I had a hot, relaxing (non cell service), Memorial Day weekend with my people. It’s a miracle I didn’t gnaw my arm off because hello? iAddicted. I love being away and I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, but, sweet Moses, I was glad to cross over to the realm of 3G. I missed all my [...]

Letters To Crazy People

May 27, 2011

It’s been awhile since I’ve done letters to crazy people. Considering my mood, it seemed only fitting…. —– Dear Crazy Honda Civic Guy Who Lives On Our Street: Do you realize, sir, that you act like a jerk every time you pass someone on our road? We are all neighbors here on this one-lane street and 99% [...]

You Capture – Pretty

May 26, 2011

This week’s You Capture challenge is pretty. This will be a fun one. It was a pretty [hot] day for celebrating field day. (And I have a pretty little sunburn to show for it!) The kids had a lot of fun, especially doing the limbo.  It was pretty scary to watch my boy play pitcher during his last baseball game. [...]

American Idol – Finale Thoughts

May 26, 2011

Folks, sadly, it is that time again. The time when all of my favorite television shows finish up for the season. That makes me so sad because the summer line-up, with the exception of Big Brother is so l-a-m-e, the thought of it makes me want to poke my eyeballs out. I’m hoping something comes [...]

American Idol – Final Two

May 25, 2011

I am flying high after an exciting evening at the baseball field. My sweet boy and his team scored nine runs in the sixth inning to tie the game, and then won in the seventh inning after holding the other team to three bats and three outs and then scoring! Oh, and did I mention that my sweet boy [...]

What I Learned This Week

May 24, 2011

My day started out the same as any other. I got the boys up and took Stevie to school. When we returned home, I discovered that McDaddy forgot to take the trash to the road before leaving on his business trip this morning. I don’t necessarily mind taking the trash out, but McDaddy typically does [...]

On That Day

May 23, 2011

Thirteen years ago, on May 23, 1998, at 4:00 PM, I stood at the back of a church waiting to make my way to the front of the church to meet the man that I would soon marry. It was hotter than allgetout thanks to a malfunctioning air conditioner, but I could barely think of anything besides [...]

Cry Baby

May 20, 2011

I am sitting on my big, blue, bloggy couch watching American Idol, excited to hear the news that Golden Boy Scotty McCreery will be singing for the title of American Idol. I am thrilled to have something so important to occupy my mind because today was Alex’s very last day of preschool and if I think [...]
