Hold Me

When I was a young teenager, my mom was very good about allowing me to get involved in sports.  She took me to practices, volunteered as the Team Mom, and travelled for hours to watch me play ball.  She was my biggest fan.  Through all the sporting events, I learned a lot about myself and [...]

Vertigo?

I was sitting at the table, eating lunch with Dwight, Joshua, Kelly, and Madison.  As I looked at the table to grab my sandwich, I saw it (the table) start to spin sideways.  I didn’t know what to think, and as I tried to look up, I saw the entire room flipping sideways with the table, as [...]

Please Pray For Madison

She’s had diarrea since Saturday.  I wasn’t too concerned until last night when I noticed her diapers are dry and she won’t drink anything (other than nurse), but I’m afraid I’m not making enough milk for her right now since I started supplementing with formula during the day.  (Boy am I regretting that now!)
I’m doing [...]

Dwight And The Summer Geese

Dear Dwight,
Sometimes I get so frustrated with you.  Yesterday I told your dad that I am too young to be the mom of a teenager.  I know there are other moms who are only 15 years older than their child, but to me, I seemed worlds older than you until you hit 13.  Now it’s [...]

 ”Mom.”  Kelly called from the back of the Expedition.
“Mom!”  She yelled [...]

Making My Soul Ache

We got back from the Carolinas yesterday afternoon.  Honestly, I think it would have been easier if I hadn’t gone!  But in many ways I feel like we were supposed to go.  NEVER in my life have I felt like I feel about that place.  I just feel like we belong there.
The moment we started [...]

Hello Carolina

We’re heading back to the Carolinas today, if only for a few days.  It will be a nice vacation.  Scott told me he had to work there for a couple days and I said, “What?!  You can’t go back there without us!”  So we are loading up the car and heading out for the 8 [...]

What NOT To Say To A Tired Woman

Note:  I came across this draft this morning.  I guess I wrote it back in May (May 18th) but never posted it.  I read it and had to laugh.  I  SO  LOVE my husband!   
The packers came today and I have to say it went fairly well. The kids’ rooms are packed, as well as the [...]

Why Do I Care?

I took a break from blogging yesterday so that I could have some time to think about the last week.  I wanted to process the situation with Patrick in my mind thoroughly so I could figure out some things.  I found myself getting really upset by a couple of comments on a couple of my [...]
