It's 11:13 on a Sunday night and I should be asleep. My hopes for a blizzard didn't come to fruition so at 6:30 my Mom is going to give me my morning wake up call (at which point I will lie and say I'm about to get up...I have good intentions but it always ends …
Go Shawty, It’s Your Birthday
I absolutely love birthdays. I celebrated my 18th birthday not long after my husband and I started dating and he thought it was crazy that I got so excited. When he turned 18 the following April I threw him a party and have made every birthday special for him since...and it's been 17 years. As …
Closing Out
These last twelve months have run together. . I've filled buckets with my laughter, heartaches, tears, prayers asked, and prayers answered. And while I've grown a little older and things have changed around me, God hasn't. And for the first time I'm REALLY realizing that the fact the He is the same is what I …
Where a Kid can be a Kid!
Today my dad decided he wanted to take my kids and my niece and nephew to Chuck E. Cheese's. Most of my friends know that I refer to Chuck's as 'Adult Hell' and the only time my children go is if someone else takes them. I reluctantly agreed to take the munchkins because they would've …
Long Hair, Don’t Care
I know you're totally confused right now. If you've seen any pictures of me in the last 14 years you know that my hair is anything but long. I have recently however started letting it 'grow out' but my husband's hair is often still longer than mine. When I was growing up I was one of the …
Happy Holidays
Christmas is upon us! As we wind up our Christmas 2015 shopping and prepare for food, fun, and gifts, I've started to do some thinking. For a good portion of my childhood Christmas was about one thing...gifts...and lots of them. For as long as I can remember I always had two Christmases. Christmas in Tennessee …
Winter Wind Down
The recent warm temperatures have ticked me off which is hilarious because I am a walking contradiction...I hate being cold but I love the cold weather. The seasons and what they bring have done their Jedi mind tricks on me for years and this year especially I've been affected. My life is somewhat chaotic. Not in …
Lose Control
I'm a recovering Control Freak. As I lay in my bed one night, eight months pregnant with my daughter lamenting about how she must be born at a certain time, my husband kindly told me that I didn't control anything. I wanted to punch him in the face. Not because he wasn't right, but because …
Writer’s Block
In case you hadn't noticed I haven't blogged in awhile. My original goal in blogging was to clear my head; get things off my chest; and maybe even help someone. But I've been hesitant to write because I didn't know what to say or exactly how I was feeling. My aunt Ruby has cancer. There …
All the Little Children
At least once a week I find out somebody I know is having a baby. Either it's their first or not. There's nothing quite like the flutter of a tiny baby growing in your stomach. As you anxiously await your baby's arrival, let me drop a little knowledge on the moms-to-be and maybe even some …
