keeping it real
My mind is always running a million miles per hour. I would be horrified if anyone had the ability to listen in. My thoughts can be racing down a path of worry, or charging into a pile of self condemnation faster than I can catch it. But, sometimes God steps in with his big red [...]
There are three things in my life that I will never see as fair. #1 is spending my first 18 years surviving an abusive dad. The second is suddenly losing my beloved mother-in-law a week before my son was born. And lastly, experiencing the joy of new life within me only to have him stolen [...]
Isn’t it funny how even personalities within the same family can be so different and interesting? You never know what “flavor” your going to get when you meet your new baby for the first time. They usually start out pretty much the same. They are cute and scrunchy and crying. You can’t blame them for [...]
For the last 35 years I have wanted long, beautiful nails that I can paint. No matter what I tried, they would break as soon as the were long enough to peek past my finger tip. Maybe 35 is the magical age for nails, because I have stopped trying and yet they are finally growing [...]
I was just listening to an old song called We will Ride. I’ve always loved that song even when I couldn’t grasp it’s meaning. It was popular back in my newly saved days when I thought that everything was going to be great as long as I could stay away from drinking, drugs, and boys. [...]
I know that I have some nice friends that come to look at my blogs just to encourage me, but are probably way to busy to read through them all. Can I just say that my favorites are Wiped Out, The Princess and the Warrior Housewife and I Give Up. I crack myself up every [...]
My countdown to the weekend began last Sunday night. My week has been spent tub dipping my toddler’s chapped butt after every new squirt of whatever he has digested in the last 20minutes to an hour. I have washed more sheets this week than a hotel maid service! Thank goodness for plastic mattresses. Gearing up [...]
Some people surf, others post surveys, but when I am bored, I like to blog. I never knew it would become so addicting, yet here I sit going over the last year of my life trying to think of any interesting stories I have experienced. Usually my life is made up of crazy little tells [...]
This is kind of a Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde story except that it is all about my daily inner struggle. Some mornings I wake up feeling as though I could conquer the world or at least mine. Armed with my cleaning products, spanking spoon and my secret weapon, Starbucks, I start in the kitchen [...]
I have always lived my life highly caffeinated and on an adrenaline rush. Even if I am not running late to start with, I somehow find a little something extra to throw in my my daily routine that sets me back and gets me moving faster. Since having kids, I don’t have to look too [...]
