McResidence

Wall Words

March 3, 2010

Weeks before McDaddy left for his six month sentence deployment to Guantanamo Bay, we  made some plans involving  our basement which included some major renovations we wanted to complete. I had some grandiose idea that heading up the construction of the basement would help pass the time and that somehow, I could have it all completed before he returned. Ahem. [...]

March 2, 2010

I am a happy girl tonight. The folks from Slowes, er, I mean Lowes showed up here at the McResidence with two ginormous rolls of carpet for our new playroom/rec room. Remember this red and yellow walls I showed you a few weeks ago? Well, I learned that while the red and yellow paint does [...]

What I Learned This Week [About Painting]

February 9, 2010

I have been a paintin’ fool the past three weeks. I’ve painted eight walls and a set of cabinets. I don’t so much mind painting, but I’ve learned that I may not be cut out for a career in painting. I’m a messy painter, and I’m a perfectionist, so you can understand why I have such a hard time when [...]

A Fly On The Wall

January 24, 2010

Our home is a joyful place. Except when two of its members are squabbling over the same version of Lightning McQueen. Or the youngest of its members forgets that his teeth are only for chewing food. Even then, the McResidence is a great place to be. Things seldomgo awry. The situation rarely escalates to a point where an [...]

You Capture – Favorite Pictures

January 7, 2010

2009 was a tough year for me. Ten days into the year, a good friend of mine lost his life in a head-on collision. Three weeks later, the McFamily embarked on a six-month journey that would test my emotional stability limits. So yeah, it started out rough. In fact, just thinking about it is making [...]

Some Things On My Agenda

December 29, 2009

I was totally prepared to compile an extremely long list of things I learned this week. Then, I visited Jo-Lynne to grab her link and discovered that she will not be doing a Things I Learned This Week post. I thought I might still post my own Things I Learned This Week because? Did you [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Ornaments

December 24, 2009

It is almost midnight. We had an impromptu Christmas get-together after church. And by impromptu, I mean we had about twelve minutes between the time we walked through the door until our first set of friends showed up. Which meant that objects were thrown willy nilly into our bedroom, baskets of laundry were shoved in [...]

Thursday Thirteen – 13 Questions You Might Ask Me Today

December 16, 2009

For the past six days, at least one of us here at the McResidence has been battling something. The poops. The pukes. The snots. And the fever. Gross? Maybe. But I try to keep things real around here. Because of the aforementioned nuisences, I need a break today. I had thought about telling you 13 things [...]

Lines, Lines Everywhere there’s Lines

December 10, 2009

Lines. Lines. And more lines. I wait in my share of them. Lucky for y’all I decided not to bore you with pictures of the car-pool line at school, the line at the Doctor’s office, or the line of children waiting to check out at Santa’s Workshop this week. Santa’s workshop warrants a whole blog [...]

Much Ado About Clutter

December 4, 2009

Even though I am a princess, I am easily overwhelmed! The paper piles on our kitchen counter continue to grow, the bathroom needs cleaning, the laundry is piling up, my inbox is bursting, my DVR is full and the green bench in our bedroom is once again covered in a mountain of clothes. And instead of [...]
