Me, My Boy, and The Girls

January 9, 2012

I remember the night well. It was a Sunday, and it was approximately 7:30 P.M. when we walked through the door with him. I remember looking at him, and then back at McDaddy and asking, “Well, now what do we do?” Our household had just grown by two feet, and we were the proud [inexperienced] [...]

Letting Your Life Speak

January 2, 2012

Everyday Is Payday

October 21, 2011

Before we got pregnant (and by we, I totally mean ME, except that it was a decision we made together), McDaddy and I decided that I would quit work once our baby was born. It was an easy decision, still, I knew it would take some getting used to. When I worked at the jail, I shared an office [...]

Learning As I Go

April 12, 2011

McDaddy and I attend a lovely little church. It is a small Bible believing, God fearing, non-denominational church. In our Sunday school class (Foundations) this past week, our Pastor’s wife (Susie) taught a wonderful lesson on parenting. She is a licensed [middle school] counselor and mother of four boys. She gave some really good parenting tips and at times [...]

The Joy Of My Life

March 8, 2011

I spent most of the day sitting at my dining room table with three other PTA mothers processing cookie dough orders. It was the second fund-raiser of the year for Stevie’s school and was necessary because the budget for this school year has not been met. After processing 168 orders ($23,000) I am pleased to say our fund-raising [...]

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 [...]

Potty Talk

April 8, 2010

For some unknown reason, my boys have business to tend to within minutes of returning home from school. And by business, I mean business. It tickles me that everyday after school, my sweet Alex yells at the top of his little lungs, “Can someone please come wipe my bottom?” It tickles me because 97.9% of the time, I [...]
