The Master’s Course

June 9, 2010

Last night I missed my husband and began thinking about our marriage.  In two weeks we will be married eight years.  Eight years.  I tried to think how long eight years really is, and my mind wandered to my college days.  I will have been married long enough to get two college degrees. I remember [...]

Sleep

May 18, 2010

“Daddy, the sun’s outside!!!” she hollered in excitement from the top of the stairs.  ”It’s morning!”  Little feet began to scamper down the steps. In fact, it was 7:40 p.m., and yes, outside was still light, but the sun was not shining.  Hannah Grace was doing her best to avoid bedtime.  Her brother and sister [...]

10. During lunch your 4-year-old informs you that the strawberries you are eating are the only fruit that has seeds on the outside, and you realize for the first time that those little things on strawberries are seeds. 9.

The Crazy Old Bat and Football

January 20, 2010

Many people assume the children were to blame for making the old lady crazy, and while they did their part, there were other factors.  Genetics surely came into play, as there were some nuts on both sides of the old woman’s family. However, there was one more culprit that people were quick to overlook–the old [...]

The Haircut

January 6, 2010

I debated whether or not to write this post.  I mean, what’s so interesting about a haircut?  But this event hasn’t left my mind since it happened three nights ago.  When a thought stays with me this long, I know either God is trying to tell me something, or I have another writing topic brewing.

A Romance I Can Live With

November 2, 2009

I had a realization today, the kind of realization that stopped me mid-step and forced me to think about a whole chain of related ideas.  And to be honest, the realization scared me a little. My realization came on the tail-end of all my thoughts relating to why I hate most romance movies.  For one, [...]

Quality of Life 2: In Need of Lighter Fluid

October 15, 2009

It was a typical Friday evening.  I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my husband so we could have our ‘date night.’  I’m not really sure why I had gotten excited every Friday before; we never actually went anywhere and rarely had anything planned for the evening. However, something about the day ‘Friday’ gave me [...]

Quality of Life 1: Calling All Tree-Huggers!

October 8, 2009

I would love to say that my family takes care of the environment, that we are friendly to Mother Earth, but I know the mess I seem to clean in the bathroom every day has to be toxic.  When it comes to the dilemma of whether or not I allow my son to wash his [...]

A Little Drizzle

October 5, 2009

Note to myself:  You actually wrote a good deal of this post last week but were interrupted many times from the kids and life.  Tonight is the first chance you had to finish.  Therefore, the ‘two Sundays ago’ and ‘yesterday’ and all time references aren’t accurate, anymore.  Oh, well.  You weren’t about to do the [...]

Forget the Baby Book

September 24, 2009

I make a lot of good intentions.  One can witness this fact by the three baby books I bought for each child.  I don’t always follow through on these intentions.  One can also witness this fact when noticing Caleb’s baby book stops after one year, Hannah Grace’s is blank except for her birth announcement, and [...]
