I’ve often heard the phrase “I need another hand” or something along those lines when someone refers to a specific task. Well, I’ve thought that before, but never truly, TRULY ached with the feeling until recently in my life. I’ve run it by a few other moms of toddlers, and they too feel my pain. […]
For those of you who dabble in country music stations, have you heard a song by Martina McBride that has a lyric about “waking up laughing”? I’ve heard it a few times, and although it is a nice, feel-good song, that line always ruins the song for me. I can think of a few (could […]
Have you heard of that disturbing fad where humdrum suburbanites learn how to dance around a pole like exotic dancers for exercise? Well, unfortunately, the pole dancing trend hit our town last night. Please excuse the shakey camera and laughing camerawoman…
…to my friend Kelli. I think she reads this blog occasionally. God dropped Kellianne into my life about 2 days after I moved into my college dorm. She had been a last minute student coming to PCC, and didn’t have a dorm assignment yet. My two original roommates and I had been excited that we […]

Several weeks, er, probably months ago, dearest JJ “tagged” me in this millenium update version of chain mail, called Meme. I’m assuming as in “It’s all about Me…Me.” Probably because people who have blogs are usually the type that don’t mind talking about themselves, you are supposed to, well, keep reading and you’ll see.

We have now entered the stage where Carson wants his “boods” on almost all the time. Also, the chalkboard easel (YEAH IKEA!) is a great project for him at this age and height, and has already been worth the $20. This particular day, he wanted/needed to go outside early in the morning, so we not […]
