After coming back to work this past week from my hiatus, a coworker asked me if I’d lost some weight. I laughed and said I had, thanks to the Prednisone Diet. For me, depending on the dosage, Prednisone makes me lose a lot of water weight. And while I love that I can breath and …

Wake.Pray.Live.Pray.Eat.Pray.Sleep.Repeat.
About three weeks ago I was telling my husband that I needed a break from life. Not an eternal break…I just needed things to slow down. Things seemed like a whirlwind on all levels and I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath. As is my typical fashion during these times in life, I lay in …

Politics As Usual
Lately I’ve been engaging in Facebook ‘discussions’ with people about various issues that ultimately boil down to politics. I don’t often speak up on social media about these issues but I’ve been feeling feisty lately. As we come upon a new presidential election season, which has so far been a bunch of foolishness from some who aim …
Talk is Cheap
Education Reform. Those two words are thrown around like Pumpkin Spice Latte is from September to December. Neither is cheap and everbody seems to have a different view on them…I’m not a fan of pumpkin. As an educator I’m always interested in what’s being said about how to make education better. From vouchers, to standardized …
Pity, Party of 1
I’ve been partying alone lately. The menu is always the same, whine and cheese, and the music is always played on the world’s smallest violin. Every time I attempt to get someone to join me they shut me down. And they should. Things have been a little crazy lately and I’ve found myself being less …
Attack of the Mama Bear
Mama Bear…we all know her. She had the cold pudding, soft bed, and uncomfortable chair in that story about the little blond thief. But I’m not talking about that Mama Bear. I’m talking about the one that EVERY mother becomes when somebody messes with their kid(s) – or at least thinks someone did. Both of …
Running on Empty
I am notorious for driving my car until I absolutely have to fill it up. Even though the indicator late warns me that I’m getting dangerously close to being stranded on the side of the road, I always push it to the limit. Unfortunately I am the same way with my spiritual tank at times. …
Follow Me
The other day I decided to grab lunch from Chick-Fil-A. I love the place but the one I went to is built on a tiny parcel of land and the line was wrapped around the building. Because of my fondness for those blasted waffle fries I decided to battle the drive-thru traffic and stay. As …
Lest We Forget
SHENANIGANS. That is the absolute best word I can use to describe this past week in my life. Between not feeling well, a million loads of laundry, and pure, unadulterated foolishness at work, it was shenanigans. At one point I texted one of my sisters and asked her to pray for me…as I often do when …
Mama Said…
In the 16 years Jacob and I have been together, we have spent a lot of time with our families, especially my Mama. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken on a LOT of her ways, and I often find myself saying things that Jacob says, ‘sounds like something yo’ Mama would say’. Of all the …
