Humbled Again – He Provides

When Joshua was just a baby, I started going through a very trying time in regards to my faith.  I questioned whether God was real and as a result of that question, I fumbled through a hundred more questions that I could not answer.  The funny thing is, I never stopped to question whether or not [...]

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!”  [...]

Little Things From The Heart

Even though we spent about 5 hours driving home from Tennessee, yesterday was a wonderful Mother’s Day.  We were there visiting family over the weekend and planned on getting up, loading up the car, and going out to eat to celebrate before heading home.  Scott said he wanted to get his sister over to the computer [...]

3rd Trimester Already? (And Things My Kids Say)

I can’t believe it’s already here.  As of Monday (two days ago), I am officially in the third trimester.  When I figure out the weeks, I literally lose my breath for a second.  Especially when I factor in that I went into labor a week early with Madison.  If I did the same thing, that [...]

Sick, Sick, Sick!

Joshua took a day off school today.  He’s had a fever (on and off) since last Wednesday.  He did so good all day long, but when I woke up from my nap this afternoon, it popped pack up.  Grrrrrrrr!  I was up til 2 a.m. taking care of him last night.  This is getting exhausting!  [...]

If I Believed In Karma…

I don’t.  I joke about it, but really, I believe God is in control and He allows things to happen in our daily lives for a reason.  I believe we reap what we sow.  I guess my way of thinking is, Karma follows the rules of God without including God, and that’s why I don’t [...]

Sometimes A Mom’s Gotta Do

what a mom’s gotta do. It’s been such a battle, trying to get Patrick to get ready for bed on time.  He RARELY, and I mean rarely gets ready by his bedtime.  In fact, lately, things have only gotten worse.  He took 2 hours to get ready for school yesterday morning, and still didn’t get everything [...]

My Little Romeo

Patrick had a little girl call him tonight.  Only, she called him, ON MY CELL PHONE!  What the heck?  See, I missed the phone call, and since I didn’t recognize the number, I called it back and said, “I just got a call from this number…” A little girl said, “Oh.  Is this your cell number?” [...]
