Ahhh..peace and quiet. Sort of.

It’s been 7 days since I was here last telling you my tale of woe. Thankfully the only thing that happened after Wednesday was 3 kids came home sick from school. All three of the older ones were home. At the same time. Let that sink in for a minute. I’ll wait.   I know [...]

When bad things happen to good people and why I want to smack it in the face after I throw it down the stairs.

I’m running on about 4 hours of sleep, so forgive me if this post rambles and sounds dumb. I’m not in much of a mood to care. Oh yeah, I went there.   This week Jon is on a business trip. Gone for 5 days and somehow the universe decides to barf all over me [...]

Lelie and Loulou Forever

There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you. ~Author Unknown       Happy Birthday Sister.   I sat here for 30 minutes trying to put into words what you mean to me. It’s not that I can’t come up with a thousand things about you that [...]

Nebermind herself…

When my daughter was about 3 years old she spied her Daddy coming out of the shower. Questions were asked. When an answer was given, she loudly proclaimed, “No, I da peanut!!”  I’m sure you can figure out what question was asked. This same daughter just turned 14 on Sunday. Fourteen!!! Time has flown by [...]

Cuz her birthday is too bootylicious for you, babe.

Being the jealous type, I can’t let my Sister have the only birthday bucket list** for this year (see left sidebar for list and progress). So in honor of my bestest friend and Sister, I am going to list 38 things I’d like to accomplish before I turn 38, which is in 117 days. Read [...]

August: a month in review

  I’ll just do a quick list with the good and not so good things that happened this month. It’s all been a giant jumble of one thing after another. I’m frankly surprised I’m still alive. (Dramatic much? Why yes, thank you.)   Good Stuff: I made the most amazing brownies. They were topped with [...]

It’s a Hard Rock Life

 **Warning** Long post ahead. Lots of pictures and lots of mouse scrolling. **End Warning** I’m sure I’m getting my days mixed up. I didn’t do so well keeping the pictures dated and in folders. I made the mistake of labeling all my downloaded photos each day, “Amsterdam 2010”. My computer, while smart didn’t sort them [...]

What’s that noise in my head?

I was sitting here at my computer this morning and I was musing about a few things.  Like… I can’t wait to see my collarbone. Sooner rather than later. I think I feel it-it’s getting closer to the surface, but still not fully visible. I’m sure Jesus will come before I see my hip bones. [...]

To Amsterdam with Love?

I didn’t think it would be so easy and so hard. I forgot what it was like to say hello to people with a warm smile. I spend a lot of time at home by myself since the all the kids are in school, so I was looking forward to greeting new people everyday, especially [...]

Because I’m unoriginal…

If my Sister can direct her readers here so she doesn’t have to blog about our trip, then I can steal her random confessions and put some of my strange thoughts on “paper”. So here goes…   I really want a pair of cowboy boots. To wear with a cute little dress like this one [...]
