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 [...]
Perhaps it was women’s intuition. Most likely it was God’s nudging.
Duck, Doodle and I went riding again yesterday evening. When Duck had gotten my bike out of the driveway (I have not braved gravel yet), I asked him if he’d checked the gas in my bike lately. See, his big, fancy bike has a gas [...]
Mom IM’s you to make sure you’re still alive — because it’s been for-e-ver since you blogged!
I’ve actually had quite a few people get on me for not blogging lately. So here’s a somewhat update since the last blog post.
Charter School: Well, I went to the lottery. I was really disappointed because Doodle is #31 [...]
Wow, it’s been a hectic week. My buddy Amanda thought I must be riding my bike every afternoon, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. I went and got my official motorcycle endorsement on my license Wednesday, but I didn’t have a chance to ride my bike until last night. And then I was a little [...]
There is a local charter school that just opened for 4th through 8th grades. We’ve only heard good things about the school from other parents and kids who go there, and decided to put in an application for the next school year when Doodle will be entering 4th grade. It is based on a lottery [...]
In the mail today, we got a catalog of classes at the local Art Council. I had to laugh at one of the classes they offer — Belly Dancing for Mothers and Daughters. Since I already know I’m uncool, I could just imagine the horror on Doodle’s face if I told her we’d be taking [...]
I’m really getting a good laugh at some of the things that are coming out of Doodle’s mouth these days. I’m not totally sure when she went from being a little girl to being a know-it-all teenager, but she’s only been alive, breathing on this earth for 8.5 years.
This morning I was helping her brush [...]
It seems Doodle is following in my footsteps. She’s holding on to her teeth a lot longer than she should. I was 12 or 13 and had 6 baby teeth pulled before they put on braces. At her last dental appointment, the dentist said if she did not lose several of her teeth by the [...]
