On The Lookout

May 31, 2012

For five long years, I’ve waited. I’ve dreamed I’ve wished And I’ve begged I’ve been on the lookout. I’ve pulled over to snap pictures. I’ve researched online. I’ve aggravated the daylights out of McDaddy. Somewhere out there, a bright, beautiful baby is waiting to come home. And I think she will make a beautiful addition [...]

What I Learned This Week

May 29, 2012

I spent the afternoon at the pool with the boys. They were both in bed by 10:30 PM without any urging or insistence from me. I’d say this is shaping up to be a great summer. I’ve learned a lot of things this week, some of which are not suitable for the blog, mostly because I [...]

My Favorite Day Of The Year

May 25, 2012

Today is my favorite day of the year. It is the day that I say goodbye alarm clock and HELLO lover summer. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been emotional today thinking that I am old enough to have a fourth (4th!) grader. But, at the end of the day (like RIGHT now), all I can [...]

Living Our Happily Ever After

May 24, 2012

Twenty years ago, that poofy-headed, bedazzled girl pined away for that boy when he spent weeks at boot camp, and then tech school. She knew he was the boy for her, the question was how would she convince him of such craziness? He was the nicest boy she had ever met, and she was sure [...]

American Idol Final 2

May 23, 2012

Somehow I missed that American Idol would be on tonight. I was on Facebook when I saw all the Idol hoopla. I switched my TiVo over to my daily docket and sure enough, there it was. Sheesh. McDaddy even asked me earlier in the evening if Idol was on. I was all wrapped up in Dancing With [...]

What I Learned This Week

May 22, 2012

There are only three days of school left. I am ready for summer, but SO sad that this school year is over. It has flown by and it’s hard to believe that it’s just about over. This has been a great year for both boys, as they have been blessed with wonderful teachers who really [...]

American Idol – Top 3

May 17, 2012

It is 11:00 PM and I just spent the last twenty minutes crying my eyes out. For days (weeks even) I’ve been working on memory books for every single child in Alex’s Kindergarten class. I have spent quite a bit of time volunteering in his classroom, so I know each of the kids personally. It has been so [...]
