The Night We Left the Door Unlocked

My brother and sister-in-law and two kids were getting here at two in the morning.  A big debate ensued:  Would we leave the door unlocked so that they could come in and make themselves at home, or would we lock the door, hide the key, and tell them where it was?  Actually, getting up on… [continue reading]

The Best Laid Plans

My husband makes me laugh.  It’s those little things that can either bring much joy and laughter in a marriage or can drive you crazy.  What is more fun, I ask you? When my in-laws were here, they offered to take the kids swimming and let us go on a date.  If I could have… [continue reading]

I seem to be a little short on humor of late.  I will blame my pregnant condition.  So here are my top ten things that I haven’t found funny. 1. My DH falling asleep at the wheel–on the highway. 2.

Weightlifting, Sore Muscles, and My Crazy Man

My husband finished his last final for his last class toward his master’s degree a couple of weeks ago.  We are all a little dazed.  Is it really over?  All five years of hard work?  Nevertheless it’s true!

The Hardest Year of My Life Part 4

Click here to start at the beginning of my journey. Yet I truly, physically could not handle my responsibilities at this point.  I felt like a person dying of cancer.  Like something was just eating away at me from the inside yet no one had detected it.  And though I felt as if there was… [continue reading]

I’d Be Lost Without You

One night as I was plugging in my laptop, it sparked and I commented something about  it being dangerous.  Jason grabbed the other end and said he wondered what would happen if he stuck it in his mouth.  The humor was lost on me for I was intent on what I was doing.  I just… [continue reading]

How To Choose A Husband

When my eldest daughter Faith was only six she asked me, “Mom what do you want to be when you’re forty-eight?” Without putting much thought into it, obviously, I said, “Well, maybe when I’m forty-eight you’ll be married and have a baby.” Silence.  Finally she said, “Mom, who will I marry?” “I don’t know honey.”… [continue reading]

Toddlers, Cribs, and Scary Noises

The day finally came.  The one I was dreading.  Jason Jr. who is two-and-a-half climbed out of his crib.  The crib that makes mommies’ lives so much easier.  The crib that keeps a child confined and bored long enough to fall asleep.  The crib that insures a child is safely contained so that moms can… [continue reading]
