McDaddy

Birthday Boy

November 11, 2011

In honor of McDaddy’s 38th birthday (which was actually on November 7th, which just so happened to be the same day as the big blog crash of 2011, where my blog went hay-wire and I lost six posts, this one included, but you already knew all of that), I had planned to present to you [...]

He Is….

September 30, 2011

He is… – loving – full of integrity – methodical – a seasoned traveller – wonderfully equipped to handle my crazy (especially with 19 years experience) – a self-taught drummer – responsible – usually right in his assesment that I am over-reacting to any given situation – hard-working – ridiculously funny (which probably comes as [...]

His Hands

July 26, 2011

His hand rests comfortably on the back of the church pew. Carefully, I slide my hand under his and our fingers become a tangled mess as they have done thousands of times. My hand is happy there. As I run my thumb along the the edge of his thumb I think back to all of the times that those hands [...]

The Way They Play

July 18, 2011

Here’s a little tale about some big boys, And the fun they have with their big Jeeps toys. They like to offroad and they love their Jeeps, I must admit they are cool even though I call them heaps. Laughter and teasing, there is lots of fun on the trails,  And dragging against stuff, it’s good to have rock rails,  The kids shoot sling [...]

It’s Just What We Do

June 16, 2011

When McDaddy and I first got married, we both had eight hour jobs that brought us back together each evening at 4:30 PM, with the exception of the two weeks each year he was away for military service, and an out-of-town training session once or twice a year. About who can even remember now four or ten years ago, [...]

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 [...]

X — Marks the Spot

February 25, 2011

McDaddy is out of town again this week and it is quiet in our house. The boys are asleep and I’m doing my nightly blog post from the couch while watching American Idol. A week like this one is not rare for us, but it never gets easier. McDaddy is no doubt saving the world one control system at [...]

I Have A Confession

February 14, 2011

Dr. McDaddy, I have a confession. And before you ask, no, I did not max out the credit card. While the girls and I were in North Carolina over the weekend, we stopped at the Concord Mills Mall. There, we enjoyed four glorious uninterrupted hours of shopping. There was A LOT of mall and not A LOT of time, so [...]
