Get Your Head In The Game

I’ve been struggling the last few weeks.  I guess the reality of the move has settled in finally!  I do this.  I go through the emotions of saying goodbye to friends I had and having to start over again.  I feel lonely, I whine and complain, and cry.  I struggle to keep a good attitude, [...]

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 [...]

Emotions Are Flying High!

and low.  This move feels like too much on some days. 
Scott just got off the phone with me.  He’s in Fayetteville right now and found a note in the door of our new house from the water company.  They are refusing to turn on the water until numbers are screwed into the stone on our [...]

Taking a Break

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.”  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 [...]

What Do I Love To Do?

Tonight my husband asked me what is it that I love to do. Since Maddison was acting up, fighting sleep and I just wanted her to go to bed so I could have a break, I didn’t get to answer him. I told him I’d tell him after she fell asleep, but he [...]

Thunderstorms & Neighbors

(This post was written with many many distractions coming from some very high-maintenance and needy kids…please excuse any typos or inconsistencies that may exist therein!)
Last night the coolest thunderstorm rolled through. I’m thankful we have storms here in Ohio. That is one thing I missed when Scott and I first got married and I moved [...]
