Taking a Break

So the impending move is on.  We have 5 1/2 weeks left in Ohio and needless to say, I have been running around like a crazy woman trying to get our house “show-ready” and up for sale, as well as doing all the other crazy things required when moving to another state.  But it’s happening, [...]

Push Presents

If you’ve visited Suzy’s site at Gainesville Moms recently, you might have seen the thread on “Push Presents.”  A push present is a gift for the Mom after her baby is born, and it is becoming a big trend.  Personally, I think “push presents” are a great idea.  After all, I can’t tell you how many [...]

Just Close Your Eyes And…

Breathe.  In, then out.  Get control of yourself!

Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations  
Smothering or shortness of breath sensations
Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort
Dizziness or unsteadiness
Feeling light-headed
Derealisation (feeling unreal or dreamy)

My Birthday, The Day After, And The Day After That

Okay, so my birthday was great.  I guess when you dream the night before that you are sitting in the middle of a playground with your best friend and you’re both teenagers again, it puts 30 years into perspective!  I woke up thinking, “I’m SO glad I’m not a teenager anymore!”  I’d much rather be 30 than [...]

Crying Like A Baby

I was driving Dwight to a “Back To School Bash” this evening.  The entire day last two days seem to be throwing frustrating situations in our direction.  I guess by the time I started heading in the right direction for Dwight’s bash, I lost it.

“Mom!”  She yelled [...]

You Can Stop Being A Teenager Now!

About a year and a half ago, the Lord gave me a word for my oldest.  He told me that Satan was going to tempt him, and that the things he would tempt him with would seem like such little things, but that he would use those “little things” to try to trap him into the same [...]

Thoughts On Death

I have tons to blog about, tons of pictures to post, but tonight I just have to get this off my chest.  I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately.  It’s like the reality of death is hovering over me.  It seems so unnatural – the idea of saying goodbye to someone I love and never [...]

The Day I Wished I Had A Penis

So I have issues. I think that’s pretty obvious anyway. But I have an over-active imagination and that means as a child, I really had issues.
