I honestly couldn’t tell you what my answer to that question was when I was little. I lived in the country — mountain country at that. Yes, there’s a difference. If you don’t know it, you aren’t very familiar with country. Anyway, since Doodle started school this past week, she was asked what she wanted [...]
We interrupt this fashion posts for an update on vacation. We (well, I) survived the parks.
I was born in West Virginia (save all the WV jokes, I know them ALL). We used to go to my Mammaw’s deeper in the mountains. I would always have to take a Dramamine before we went because I get [...]
Nine years ago today about 8 am, we had a big scare. Monitors started blaring and beeping. People rushed in. My family was rushed out. I had no idea what was happening. All I knew was I needed to remain calm because it was not going to help the situation if I panicked.
The nurse threw [...]
Yesterday was the last day of school for Doodle, and I didn’t send her. They weren’t doing anything — they’d already had their end of the year party Wednesday. I was amazed at how much pizza a third grade boy can put away. Seriously, Doodle doesn’t eat anything compared to some of those kids. She’s [...]
I just got back from a field trip to a big garden with a bunch of 3rd graders. It was definitely educational to say the least. The highlight of this field trip (besides walking around for 3 hours with nothing specific to do or learn) was the ducks at the pond. All of the kids [...]
Soliloquy had a birthday last Friday and came here to ask what I got for my birthday.
When I was little, I loved celebrating birthdays. I got to choose what I wanted for dinner (most of the time Mom’s spaghetti) and I got a chocolate pound cake. Oh yeah, and tons of presents As I’ve [...]
Conversation before school this morning.
Me {yelling down the hall}: Are you ready yet?
Doodle: No!
Me: Why not?
Doodle: It’s none of your business.
Me: Oh yes it is! Everything is my business!
Doodle: No. My business is my business and your business is your business.
Me {walking into her room}: That is so not the way it works. Why are [...]
12 years ago today, my Genius Better Half proposed to me and oh, he got me good! I never saw it coming!
We had been dating for about a year and half at this time. He sent me a dozen red roses at work that Friday with a note saying something to the effect of “you [...]
I assume God knew what He was doing when He gave me a girl. Honestly I thought I wanted a boy, because I’m not good at all that girlie stuff. But I know I would not do well with broken bones, scrapes and bruises. Well, I probably could do ok with minor scrapes — just [...]
aren’t always God’s plans.
I had a renewed sense of purpose for today. I was going to get up early, read my Bible, have quiet time, pray and after taking Doodle to school, I was going to just write. Well, I got up early. That’s about it.
Doodle got up early and went to the bathroom for [...]
