Funny things that kids say

With kids you usually don’t have to wonder what they are thinking, at least not for long!  They tend to just blurt  it out without sifting their thoughts through filters.  Many have been my embarrassing moments when I have heard one of my kids tell someone, “You have a big nose!” or “You’re fat!”  While… [continue reading]

Christian Brothers Automotive

The DVD player in our van has not worked well for two years.  It’s not that it wouldn’t work at all, but it would spit the DVD out three fourths of the time.  I would sit there and have to keep putting it back in until it would cooperate.  Then it would only play short… [continue reading]

Happy Meal

One day I decided to get a break from the school work and took the kids to McDonald’s to eat…but mostly to play.  My oldest is ten and still enjoys it with the rest of them.  I figure I don’t have too much longer that it will work for all of the kids. They had… [continue reading]

Tempted to Lie

We lived in a little East Texas town with a population of about twelve hundred for  a couple of years.  While we were there, my husband let me plant roses to my heart’s content, and I enjoyed taking care of them. We were going to Nebraska for a long weekend, so I made sure to… [continue reading]

A Very Bad Sales Pitch

A couple of years ago we decided to treat the kids at Chick-Fil-A, one of their favorite places.  When we got there, I noticed they had some new milk shakes.  Now I’m not really a huge milk shake fan, but they had a mint  chocolate chip flavor, and it just so happens that I love… [continue reading]

Getting What We Want

One morning Joy woke up early, came down to my room, and shook me awake.  “I want breakfast!” “Does Joy always get what Joy wants?” “No.” “Does Joy always pitch a fit when Joy doesn’t get what she wants.”  There was a short pause as she thought about this. Then sheepishly she replied, “I think… [continue reading]

Honesty. I Come By It Honestly.

Click here for the: Grandfather Edition. Mom Edition. So no one should be surprised that I have inherited this very same trait of unpremeditated honesty.  In college several girls needed a ride to apply for a telemarketing job, and since I had a car (tank is more like it) I offered to drive them. I… [continue reading]

Honesty. I Come By It Honestly. Mom Edition

Look for the beginning of the story in yesterday’s post. My Mom inherited this very same honesty gene.  I’ve never had to wonder what my Mom thinks about things.  A couple of months after the birth of one of my babies she came for a visit.  During her stay I put on a bright blue… [continue reading]

Honesty. I Come By It Honestly. Grandfather Edition.

Truly I believe honesty is a family trait. I’m not sure how far back it goes, but it goes at least three generations back to my Grandpa Etheridge who was a missionary to Central America. He was known for his complete honesty. One of my favorite memories was when we were all visiting my Aunt… [continue reading]

A Bible Study, Agony, and Conveying My Feelings

Years ago a lady in the church that I attended invited me to a women’s Bible study.    I had heard such great things about the study that I could not wait to start.  From the beginning, however, I found that it really was not for me.  The group was very strict.  In fact, they… [continue reading]
