We’re Only Human
Time defeats me. I mean to blog and to blog well, but time gets away from me. Tonight, I’ve been watching a random movie chosen by my hubby, “chatting” electronically with a dear friend who had one of those kinds of days that turns your yellow green and has you questioning things in life you […]
Angel of Mine
The past couple of days have been busy enough that I am just now getting around to blogging. My beautiful Lily was marvelous on Sunday for her First Communion. It’s hard to imagine having such elegance at age 8. It was a special day for the whole family. I was pleased to get a family […]
Don’t Miss Your Life
Last night while driving home from the lake by myself after dark, I heard Phil Vassar’s new song. “Don’t Miss Your Life.” Best thing about the song? I could hear every word on the first listen. This is rare for me. I have marked hearing loss in my left ear. If I turn to my […]
Tired Hamster on a Wheel
That’s me! I’m running on fumes this week, but running, nonetheless. Everyday feels like Groundhog Day. Wake up with headache, scramble around like a crazy woman, drop off kids in various places, go to work where I’m really productive, but stressed, come home, hang with kids, eat, clean, crash, repeat. And to make it even […]
The Driver’s Seat
I often think about how “real” it would be if a reality show film crew would follow me around as I attempt to get myself and my four children out of the house to our various locations on the mornings that I work. Right now, that’s four days a week. And yesterday would have been […]
Everyday Rockstars
While I’d like to think I’m a superstar mother for rushing to Aldi after work, gathering, purchasing and bagging $145 of much-needed groceries, and then loading them in the trunk, ALL IN LESS THAN 25 minutes, so I could hit the road to meet Lily at the end of her 4-H meeting, I know I’m […]
In Every Moment
I’ve finally recovered my photos of this year’s hike to “Jess’s,” a section of my grandpa’s old farm that blooms with wild daffodils every March or April. Two Sundays ago, I had the awesome opportunity to hike there with my “aunt” Megan, a few years my senior. We both had babies strapped to our abdomens […]
Sunday Night Clean
It’s that time of year. We spent most of the afternoon at the lake. I came home with four muddy kiddos, one of them in their underwear, and more than a load of laundry. Within an hour, I found a tick. Some pink cheeks and noses. Yep. It’s summer. (Practically!) I am bone tired. A […]
