Yesterday I acted like a spoiled rotten brat. After a great trip with my mom and the kids I came home expecting a clean house and all the laundry done. When it wasn’t, I was a bit miffed. I had made up in my mind that although the hubs foot the bill for the trip …

Husbands and Wives
The other night the hubs told the kids he was doing laundry. Because my daughter notices everything, she quickly asked why. (I’ve been on laundry duty alone for awhile because he’s working 60+ hours a week). I shouted back, “Because that’s what we do”. To which she replied, “Because you’re his wife and he’s your’re …
#ButGOD Moments
When hashtags started to become popular I jumped on the bandwagon. My husband, who loathes social media, had to explain them to me and then tried to compel me not to use them. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you know I ignored him. I don’t use them too often (I’m sure it’s …
The Heart of a Child
Back in late February Josephine decided she wanted to be baptized. It took me by surprise because at the time she was only five and after talking to her, she eluded to the fact that she wanted to do it so she could be like my niece (who she absolutely adores). Honestly, I was skeptical. I …
Out from Under the Rock
I haven’t written in a while. I lost count of the number of days and stopped checking my stats for fear that I would see nothing. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment where I ‘lost my voice’ but things have been, for a lack of a better word, crazy. Between the sick kid and husband, …
Good Dads – They Do Exist
Earlier this week my daughter had a birthday. She was lucky because we’re off this week so that meant the hubs got to cook breakfast (I order breakfast). She was so excited when she got to the table because he had made a happy face on her plate with bacon, waffles, and strawberries. Her day …
Brother Ben
As if we needed anymore foolishness in the coming election season, Ben Carson recently put his foot in his mouth by eluding to the fact that President Obama hadn’t truly lived the ‘black experience’ because he didn’t grow up living in the projects, going to failing schools. What?! Yes, I have whittled down what he …
The Other Side of the Fence
Those metal poles, my friends, are posts. We are getting the rest of the fence of our backyard completed this week. What’s the big deal? It’s a fence, Corliss. Well to me, as a person who is chronically worried about what could go wrong, who prays daily for her faith in what God can do, …
Raising Little People
It’s 2:45 in the morning. I should be fast asleep, dreaming about our summer beach vacation, resting up for the busy weekend ahead. But instead I’m in bed, rubbing my four year old’s tummy, hoping he’ll fall asleep soon. This isn’t an unusual occurrence. He wakes up most nights around 1:00, runs down the hallway, climbs …
Make it Plain
As I’ve said in the last couple of posts I had been having a bit of trouble talking to God in earnest. However a week or so ago my dog woke me up at 2 in the morning. Fueled by that and my bimonthly dose of Prednisone, I couldn’t go back to sleep. So I decided …
