Today was my first day back at work for the 2015-2016 school year. People who know me well know that I have a love-hate relationship with work. I love being productive and pouring myself into projects and people; I hate having a schedule and deadlines. In usual Bunkley Compound fashion my first day back was …

Doing the Most
A few years ago my women’s group read the book ‘Having a Mary Heart, In a Martha World’ by Joanna Weaver. The book is essentially about how we get so busy doing other stuff that we fail to take the time to set at Jesus’ feet. (See Luke 10:38-42). Of course after I left every …
Things I Cannot Say
This summer I have gotten to spend a lot of time with my kiddos. There’s been lots of giggles, hugs, kisses, yelling, and tears. But there’s also been lots of conversations about being kind to one another and the importance of vegetables. Unfortunately there were some things I wanted to tell them that I couldn’t, …
Personal Space
Anybody who has spent more than 10 minutes with a child under the age of 5 knows that they have no idea what personal space is. You know what I’m talking about! They have to sit right next to you, sleep right next to you, and when they say hello it’s two inches from your …
After the Fall
The other day I decided to take the kids to the park. While walking through the mulch I stepped the wrong way and fell…flat on my face. I laid there for about ten seconds and realized that I had two options: lay there or hoist all these thighs and ample bottom up off the ground. …
Net Worth
My husband and I use an app to track our finances. They send what seems like a gazillion emails a day, most of which I delete. Recently I decided to read one and at the bottom it listed our net worth. With a mortgage and student loans that number wasn’t very big…ha! Here’s the thing …
Transparent
My husband says I’m an over-sharer. It drives him absolutely crazy that I don’t mind telling people ‘personal’ information about myself. I always laugh at him when he says it because he’s the type of person who wouldn’t share anything with even me if he could get away with it. But I’ve come to learn …
Restless Spirits
A couple of days before we left for our trip I got sick. Leave it up to me to come down with an ear and sinus infection that required a steroid shot, antibiotics, and a six day dose of steroids. Now don’t get me wrong, I felt better; but, the problem with steroids is they …
Wherever You Go
While on our trip we had to chance to check out a comedian by the name of Mutzie. The night before his show he did a preview and he was hilarious. We decided to check him out and he delivered. He started out with the usual comedic fare, moved on to the audience, and then …
Cruising Together
For our 10 year anniversary Jacob and I decided we should take a trip…alone. It isn’t our first long trip without the kids and it definitely won’t be our last. Why? Because marriage is hard, and takes work, and when you add kids to the equation it gets harder. Statistically, the odds aren’t necessarily forever …
