McDaddy

Thirty-Seven

November 7, 2010

Today was an ordinary drill weekend at the McResidence. McDaddy got up well before the rest of us and made his way to the West Virginia Air National Guard. He no doubt got dressed in the dark so as not to wake me. The boys and I got up, got dressed, and headed to church. [...]

He Says, She Says.

October 24, 2010

  He says, Chocolate chip cookies, please. She says, Chocolate cake with lots of icing, please. He says not very much at all. She says a lot more than she should most of the time. He says, keeping the front door open allows the heat out and the cold in (or the cold out and [...]

The One

September 23, 2010

Love. It means a lot of things to a lot of people, but for me, it is more than just a word. Back in the day when I was an awkward mouthy teenager, I remember well writing Julie K. loves [insert boy's name here] all over notebooks and diaries. At that time, I thought I knew [...]

Another Post About The Heap, er, I Mean Jeep

August 31, 2010

It’s back to school around here and that means we are back to answering to that darn alarm clock. I hate my alarm clock and I hate the back-to-the-grind schedule. We lay out clothes, pack snacks, and place the backpack right next to the door so that our morning routine goes smoothly. I am counting [...]

Summertime

August 19, 2010

Summer is winding down and I am so sad. We’ve had a great summer and we’ve made lots of memories. In a matter of four days, I will be answering to my stupid Homemedics alarm clock every morning and the thought of that makes me want to stick my fingers in my ears and say [...]

Driving McDaddy Batty

July 25, 2010

That title cracks me up! I am live blogging from the passenger seat of my Dodge Ghettovan Caravan as we make our way out of South Carolina and into Georgia. Only, I’m not actually live blogging because well, live blogging requires an internet connection. Which I do not have. Nor does my beloved iPhone have [...]

40 Things Before 40

July 2, 2010

While sitting around the campfire tonight, we talked briefly about the bucket list. I don’t really have a bucket list, but I do spend a fair amount of time thinking of things I would like to do before I um, you know, pass. This isn’t necessarily a bucket list, because? Hello? I’m already 36 and these are [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Things I Love About Staying In A Hotel

June 23, 2010

McDaddy’s civilian job requires him to travel. A lot. Before Stevie started school, we travelled with him quite a bit. At the drop of a hat he’d find out his expertise was needed in another state and we’d pack our bags and head out with him not knowing what day we’d return. We travelled to [...]
