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 [...]

Private Business

August 1, 2012

Once upon a time there were two little boys. The boys, while different as night and day, were the best of the friends. They were also, without doubt, the most accident-prone boys on the planet. And by some sort of crazy twist of fate, all of it has happened right under their mama’s nose. Don’t ask me how that happens. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

My favorite thing about the start of a new year, is a brand spankin’ new, fresh calendar. A new year also seems like a perfect time to START anew, though, do we really NEED a brand new year to do that? Of course, we don’t NEED a new year to start new, but I suppose a [...]

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 [...]
