The Stupid Deployment

Humbled

November 12, 2012

I woke up to several posts on my Facebook wall thanking McDaddy for his service to our country. I was humbled to think that several of those posts came from blog readers I have never met. If you knew McDaddy in real life, you would know that recognition or attention is the last thing that [...]

The Crazy Is About To Get Crazier

October 15, 2012

From Inmates To Playdates went live in November, 2008. With a limited knowledge of HTML (which is code for crazy computer language – so really it should be called CCL) and a flair for the dramatic, I had hoped that I’d be able to make a go of this bloggy thing. With a little bit of luck I [...]

If you’ve spent any amount of time around here this week, you’ve probably noticed a somber tone in my writing.

You Capture – Inspiring

November 18, 2010

What inspires me? I’ve discovered this week that finding things that inspire me isn’t nearly as easy I thought it would be. When I think of the word inspire, I think of three things, really. My hubby and my boys. They inspire me to be a better person. A better wife. A better mom. Instead [...]

365 Days

August 1, 2010

I am sitting in my big, blue, bloggy chair watching Big Brother. It has been a long day spent mostly on the road from South Carolina to our home in West Virginia. I spent the day thinking about what I was doing one year ago today. There was the little matter of deployment and on [...]
