I Stopped For A Moment
This morning was a little crazier than usual. It was not a simple "get up and hit the ground running" kind of Monday. We were all moving a little slower than usual. "Christian" was not feeling well in the wee hours so my husband and I were up taking care of him...
I’ve Never Liked Rollercoasters
I am not a fan of rollercoasters. I can still hear the click of the track as the Texas Cyclone crept up the hill. The feeling you get when you go straight down is not something I care to ever experience again. So you will never see me in line at the...
Who Do You Talk To Most Often?
Is it your best friend…your spouse…a family member? When I started to think about this question I realized that the person I talk to most often is..... me! I will admit that more often than not the things I say to myself are not very kind. Doubt creeps in,...
Twenty Days
I never dreamed we would make 20 days of school in a row.But there is something else that is absolutely amazing. "Christian" has been struggling with his fear of needles for quite some time. It was to the point where my husband and I had to take him in to the HTC once...
And Another Week Passed…..
Fifteen days of school in a row! Well, of course that was almost too much to believe. Friday night, as we entered the auditorium to watch my oldest son perform the lead role in "Shrek", my "Christian's" knee started up. I immediately took him...
I Always Thought I’d Be A Band Mom
I remember the day I opened my oboe case when I was in 5th grade. My sister's band director (Mrs. Dempsey) heard I made good grades and she wanted me to play the oboe. I had no idea how that would change my life. I took my first private lesson and I was hooked! My...
10 Days!
Yesterday was by far the best afternoon I have had in months. I had a productive day at work...that is always a positive. But the best part of Friday afternoon was that my "Christian" completed 10 days of school in a row! 10 Days!! The most he...
Lent is Here
I love the Lenten season in the church. It is a time for reflection and reverence and devotion, but the misconception about Lent is that you must suffer and give something up for 40 days or else you are not "doing it right". I believe the season is about remembering...
What is the Week Going to Bring?
A friend of mine asked me if our family had had at least two weeks of "normal" over the past several months. I stopped and thought about and realized that the longest span of time we have been able to count as "normal" (without being in the hospital with my little...
Head in the Sand
"If I don't talk about it surely it will go away!""If still have checks in my checkbook, so surely there must still be money in my account!" :)"If I don't answer the phone I won't hear the bad news on the other end."I admit that I like to put my head in the sand. It's...
