I dare anyone to try and put “everything in its place” in my house.
Without throwing anything necessary away.
Without putting items in inaccessible places.
Without swearing.
I double-dog dare you.
I TRIPLE-dog dare you.
It can’t be done.
Why? Because, much like Aladdin’s lamp pictured above, in Orlando (on our budget), you can have PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER…in an […]

So, I finally got a car.
Well, a minivan, to be exact.
I never…ever…in a million years, thought I would ever be a minivan owner.
I hate minivans. Or so I thought.
Until we started seriously looking for a new-to-me car.
And God got a hold of my heart. Again.
Why did I not want a minivan? Well….Pride.
Yes, that’s right. […]

I’ve been very personally reflective in my blogs lately, and, in retrospection, my writing seems heavy on the hard stuff. So in the spirit of presenting a more complete picture of myself, I thought I’d share the simple pleasures I experienced whilst taking my 2 beautiful, funny, curious daughters to the park.
It began with the […]

My very good friend that nailed me on my Insecurity a few weeks ago has done it again today.
Here’s the short of it. (I’m paraphrasing, mind you.)
“I think blogging is safe for you.”
“What do you mean?” (acting like I didn’t know)
“You know, you can put your heart out there, but you don’t have to worry […]

I was in BJ’s Wholesale Club today, waiting in line to pay for my 3 oversized purchases (a case of cut green beans, an enormous jug of canola oil, and 18 large eggs), when I noticed a woman in the line nearby.
She had 2 boys whose ages I’d put at 2 1/2 and 4; one […]

I was making buttermilk biscuits last night when Jane decided she “NEED to HELP Mommy.”(imagine the loud 2-year-old voice here.) I gave her a small piece of dough to play with, and play she did. She pricked it with a fork, pounded it with her hands, cut it with a biscuit-cutter and rolled it with […]

Paul tagged me with this (hence, the image left) and I don’t feel very creative tonight, so here goes:
4 Jobs I’ve had in my life
>Babysitter. Starting at age 13 and ending (at least for pay!) sometime in college. I loved it and it filled my weekend nights in high school, which was great since I […]

What is it about mice/rats that stirs up the coward in man?
Personally, I don’t know. What I do know is that it does. Pretty predictably, actually.
Consider my friend’s mouse experience this week.
(this is a quote from an email she sent)
1. Our transmission goes out on Sunday of one of our vans.
2. Monday Hubby takes […]

I’ve been spending the last hour reading other people’s blogs which is incredibly enjoyable and informative, and also a major time-killer. As if I had it to kill…
From Karin Tome’s “Googly Eyes” (this blog is HYSTERICAL), I linked to Patricia Williams’ old blog, which led me to Patricia Williams’ new blog, “Patricia’s Place” (a very […]
