Are You Laughing At The Point I’m Trying To Make?

Scott headed out for Arkansas earlier this week, and one thing I’m sure of, I am SO thankful for that man.  I honestly do not know how single moms do it!  Tuesday night I was dealing with Dwight and boy, does he know how to push my buttons sometimes!  We’ve had to keep the house [...]

Hilariosity

I got a few good laughs yesterday and just had to share.  1.  I saw hubby whack his face into his car door.  It knocked his hat sideways and everything.  You know I had to open the door and yell, “I saw that!”  It was so cute.  Kind of reminded me of our so-called “first [...]

Yes, I have been a little busy!

My husband left me a question on my last post, and there is my answer.  I have been so busy lately.  So busy that I haven’t taken time out to do the things I enjoy.  But there’s always an adjustment period after bringing home a baby.  I remember when I had Madison, my blogging decreased quite a [...]

It’s a long story…

and I have gone back and forth on whether or not to post anything on this, but I feel like perhaps sharing our experience on my blog will one day help someone else (I hope).   I don’t have the energy to get into all the details right now, but please pray for us if you think about [...]

Determination

You know those motivational posters providing a picture and definition for motivational words such as the one in the title?  Here’s a mental picture for you: Lock on the pantry door.

Thanks and Giving

Life has been rough the last year.  Real rough.  I’m not even going to pretend it has been easy!  Life with Dwight has been SO HARD.   He has really been struggling and there are days I think that he’s pushed me past my limits.  Maybe that’s why I finally got him enrolled in some counseling! [...]

If you have boys…

get ready.  This is the kind of stuff they’ll do! See how the door is sticking out more on top than on bottom?  That’s because Dwight and Patrick pulled the door off its hinges.  Yup.  Dwight thought it would be funny to shut the laundry room door on Patrick while he was in there, so [...]

Dwight Doesn’t Get It

You’d think by now I’d be used to it.  I mean, it happens about every other week.  (Read my post: The Death of Me and you’ll understand what I’m talking about!)  But I still get worked up when Dwight pulls his stunts.  Like yesterday. I got a real thrill out of Dwight’s little explanation as to [...]

Hidden Notes

Joshua came home from school Wednesday and said, “Mom?  I have lots of friends who bring their lunch to school, and their moms write them notes because they really miss them!”  He looked like he was about to tear up.  Enter mommy guilt! “Joshua, do you want me to make your lunch for tomorrow?”  I asked.  “Yes!”  [...]

The Call

Friday night Dwight popped the question.  It was the question we figured he’d ask eventually, but of course, how can you ever be truly prepared for it when it happens?  “Can I call my grandma?”  He really wants to reconnect with the family he left behind when he was four years old.  Of course, he [...]
