I Hate This Story

February 19, 2013

It is a treat having two little boys. They are alike in some ways, but for the most part, the two of them are as different as night and day. At their well-visit a few weeks ago, their pediatrician informed me that at Stevie’s current rate of growth, he will be a 5’11″ / 180 pound adult. [...]

Holding On

February 8, 2013

As I sit on the couch, I hear a thud. I am startled. I hear a whimper. And then footsteps. He stumbles through the hall holding his head. When I ask what happened, he mumbles something about hitting his head on the bed. In flannel Diary of a Wimpy Kid pajama pants, he climbs onto the [...]

You Never Go Wrong By Doing Right

July 18, 2012

Every once in a blue moon, something happens to remind me that this parenting thing is no joke, and that maybe just maybe, McDaddy and I are doing something right. Seeing as how I’ve had a kid to fall into a cactus, a kid to swallow a penny, and a kid to inject himself (on [...]

I’m Back!!!

June 17, 2012

Hi there. Remember me? It’s been a few days (okay, a LOT of days) since I’ve checked in here on the blog. First, I’d like to apologize to those who have stopped by here looking for their daily dose of crazy. The crazy was here, I just haven’t had the time to write about it. My house looks [...]

I Spy

April 26, 2012

My boys love to play Spy Games. In fact, they call themselves The Alpha Team. They have no idea that sometimes I spy on them. Crouched down on the back deck, I wait and I watch. And I listen. They laugh. They make plans. They talk spy stuff. They make fart noises. They laugh. They talk about [...]

My Two Cents

March 28, 2012

I typically try to keep things light and fun around here. Well, except maybe for when I write Letters To Crazy People. Believe me when I tell you that I’d much rather write about how much I enjoy this time of year, because there is baseball and Dancing With The Stars/American Idol, cruising around in the [...]

Twenty Years

February 29, 2012

In approximately five weeks, McDaddy and I are scheduled to attend our twentieth reunion. It doesn’t seem possible that we’ve been out of school for twenty L-O-N-G years. That means that this girl is almost forty. Not that there’s anything wrong with being forty, because age is just a number. Mostly. I can’t help but [...]

For This Child I Prayed

February 19, 2012

I have spent many an hour praying for my boys. Even before I ever looked them in the eye, I prayed for their health, their spouses, and their salvation. I have called out to God in the middle of the night when the thermometer read 102. I’ve prayed silently while listening to the hum of [...]

Really Cute Homemade Valentines

February 1, 2012

Last year, I created some great Valentine cards for the boys. I have never been a huge fan of the little character Valentines because the boys end up ripping half of them just trying to get them separated. So when I saw several versions of these cute homemade Valentines in Blogville, I decided to give it a shot even [...]
