In the blink of an eye

Some days I sit and look at my boys and I can’t believe how fast they’re growing up. It seems like just yesterday Kel was crawling around and before I know it, he’ll be asking me to pick him up some acne treatment. Okay, so he’s not quite ready for that, but he […]

Make mine hot please

We’re only a family of four, but honestly, we are ALWAYS running out of hot water. We’ve constantly got people over to the house and I’m forever washing clothes or running the dishwasher and combine that with showers for all of us and there goes the hot water! I’d like to invest in […]

Tortured is right…

You Are 59% Tortured Genius

You are very smart and a little bit tortured. Like a tortured genius in training.
You’re brilliant enough to see how screwed up the world is. Just don’t let it screw you up!

Double vision means double work

I’m going to have to go and get another pair of eyeglasses. I keep misplacing mine. I don’t wear them all the time so it’s not like they are constantly on my face. When I do find them, it’s as though I’ve laid them down in the most obscure of places. […]

Something to ponder

I’ve thought about trying to get the boys another pet. They want an inside pet. I’m not so sure about that. I definitely don’t want a dog in the house and I’m not certain about a cat either. Plus, with a cat, you’ve got to have all of those cat supplies. […]

If wishes were fishes…

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time for me to start leaving hints all around the house so my husband knows what to go out and buy for me. I mean, I’m not the type of woman who is wanting diamonds or luxury watches. I’d settle for some accessories for my […]

Service with a frown

I hate going to Wal-Mart. Every single time I go in there, it’s an ordeal of some sorts. Today the cashier that I had looked as though she should be in some sort of drug treatment. She looked as though she hadn’t brushed her hair in a week and she obviously was […]

Inside versus Outside

I’ve never been one to watch a lot of movies. I don’t know what it is. I guess I’d rather just be outside with my boys or taking pictures. I like being out with nature and experiencing all that it has to offer. I might watch a few more movies if […]

You Should Be a Politician

Confident, assertive, and dedicated - you know what you want in life and how to get it.
Stubborn and opinionated, you can stand your ground… even if it’s unpopular.
And while you have strong views, you never overwhelm people with your opinions.
A true charmer, you subtly influence people into seeing things your way.
You […]

A frightening thought

All of this talk recently about tornadoes makes me nervous. I know that were we live, we’re prime to get one without much notice. It just seems that this spring, there has been an abundance of them all over the place. They’re even having tornadoes in places that rarely see them. […]

Something to think about

I saw something neat in a magazine and I’m thinking of getting one for Jesse. I’d never thought about how he could benefit from something such as shower chairs. With just looking at it, it seems as though it’d be a great help to him being a little more independent with his bathing. […]

Budget me this!

Keith and I are always trying to put ourselves on a budget. It’s not an easy thing to do, to be honest with you. I know it’s necessary, but frankly, I don’t like budgeting. I’m thinking of getting some budget software and maybe that will help us stay on track. If […]

I don’t wanna

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to have a man around the house. It seems like I have to do just as much of the “man” stuff around here as the actual Man! He needs to bulk up and get some muscle growth happening really soon here! I’m tired of being the manual labor […]

Fancy That

With all of the remodeling we’ve done around the house lately, it’s a wonder that I still like to think of things to change about the house. That’s how I am though. I’m not ever really satisfied until everything is just the way I envision it in my mind. And well, ya’ll […]

Shhh

I’m bored. I’ve nothing really to write about but yet I feel compelled to at least write something. Everyone is sleeping so it’s peaceful and quiet. Ahh…silence. I don’t get a lot of that around here lately. There is always someone making a ruckus and 9 times out of 10, […]

A friendly reminder

Just a reminder, that Mother’s Day is right around the corner. No, I don’t have a gift for my Mamma yet. I have no idea what to get her anymore than I have an idea of what to get my Daddy. It’ll come to me at the last minute. It always […]

Just call me Flash!

I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off lately. I seriously have been going 90 to none. It’s good though. I like this rate of activity that I’m at right now. Between Jesse and his therapy appointments and chasing after Kel as well as everything else I […]

Wanna tell me why?

Honestly, it’s as though every single day I come across an individual who is just a zit on the face of society! Seriously…why do people like this exist? They’re ignorant, intolerant, rude and frankly I’m looking for the best acne treatment possible to abolish them from the face of the earth as well […]

Hold up, wait a minute…or better yet, a month

We haven’t even hit Mother’s Day and I’m already seeing ads to remind me about Father’s Day. Give me a chance to conquer one before you hit me with another, will ya? I have no idea what to get my Daddy. He’s a tough man to buy for. It’s not as […]

Changed Back

I am currently going back to using my old theme, because I just realized that when you click to see an individual post, it’s showing Google ads. That’s pretty sneaky… Hiding something like that in there so that you can make money from it being shown on my site. Well, I hope you choke on […]

Daisy (Mae)

My sister gave our Mama a puppy last Christmas. If she’d have known how bad that puppy would have grown up to stink, I think she would have changed her mind. She may be cute, but don’t let it fool you. She gets bathed all the time, and yet, still stinks. She likes long walks […]

T.I.R.E.D.

I am seriously sleepy, but can’t sleep yet because I still have stuff to do. I spent the weekend with my parents and I won’t go into details about that other than to say that it was a nice weekend filled with lots of talking. I’m not sure why I’m so tired because I slept […]

Proud Mama

I’ve been homeschooling Jesse for quite a while now, and it’s been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. He’s unbelievably smart, he was born like that, it’s not from me. Teaching him requires little effort, because he just seems to “get it”. The only problem that we’ve encountered is his handwriting. […]

Need Something To Do?

If so, you should join an online community. We all need more friends and online is the easiest place to make them. You can join 3gb community www.3gb.biz, I was just there and have already seen a few profiles of people that I already know, so I should fit right in, or as well as […]

Shimmy

Have yall seen/heard of that show? It’s an exercise program that teaches belly dancing. I’ve always thought that I could dance, but quickly found out that I really can’t. Well, not like that. I think I’ll try to stick with it though, might be able to learn a few new tricks… Me… A belly dancer… […]

I hate it

I really hate driving. Not only because of it making me extremely tired, but I’m nervous the entire time. I drive down the same highway almost every Thursday to take Jesse to and from therapy, and normally see a wreck along the way. That’s what makes me so nervous. People tend to not stop at […]

Cold

I’m not liking this weather at all. We were in the 80’s last week and now we’re barely making it into the 60’s. I know, I shouldn’t be complaining because it isn’t THAT cold, but it’s windy and that makes it that much cooler. I was about ready to jump into the pool last week […]

My/His Laptop

It seems that Keith has taken a liking to my laptop. Every time I turn around, he’s sitting there with it on his lap. I didn’t mind it at first, until I realized that he’s downloading music onto it. I use it very little and don’t download anything onto it because it doesn’t have as […]

Looking Up

Although my life isn’t at it’s greatest moment right now, I’m trying to stay positive and enjoy what I do have. I received an email from a sister of mine this week that really shocked me. It was from the same sister that I had problems with a while back over her thinking that my […]

Where I’ve Been

Well, I’ve been here, just not actually here. I’ve started doing yoga. I’ve wanted to do it for a long time, but was never motivated. Some time Saturday night, that motivation found me and I’ve been enjoying it. I really thought it was just calming and relaxing, but I was a little wrong. I’ve ended […]

Darkness

Have you ever felt like you were surrounded by darkness? You never get to actually feel the sunlight, even though you’re sitting directly in it? You take deep breaths, and still feel suffocated? You want to cry, but have no tears? I feel like I’ve lost everything, and yet, nothing has changed.

Long Time Coming

We are finally all insured. It wasn’t cheap, but it needed to be done. It’s kind of a nice feeling to know that if something were to happen, that we’ll be covered. We now have medical and life insurance. At least, I think we do. It turned out that after almost 10 years of marriage, […]

Crash & Burn

I’ve been doing good lately. I’ve been in a really good mood lately, life’s been going well, but it seemed to end yesterday. I’m not sure what caused it, I think it was a mixture of things. I’d like to write out all of the thoughts in my head, but I’d rather keep it to […]

Wanna Get Naked?

I know, I should use titles like that with some of you out there, but it was too cute to pass up. I’m not really getting naked over here, just telling you about a great natural shampoo called Naked Naturals. The one I tried is lavender scented and smelled really good. It left my hair […]

Boo!

I was so ready for winter to be over, but now I’m beginning to dread summer. I can take the heat better than I can the cold, but let’s face it, it gets too hot down here. I wish it could be fall all year long, but I can’t have it all. I don’t even […]

Is it you?

I got the glasses a few months ago, I think, and I think I’m already needing new ones. I can tell that I’m not seeing nearly as well as I should, but I’m putting off going and getting new ones because they’re so expensive. I should start buying cheap eyeglasses and saving me a bit […]

Behind

Can you tell that I’m behind on things around here? Well, yeah, I am. I really haven’t spent much time around a computer lately. I spend most of my days sitting outside with my boys. I could take the laptop out, but the battery dies so quickly in it, and I probably wouldn’t pay much […]

Not Good Enough

Kel has became obsessed with tractors. He will be sound asleep, wake up and whisper the word “tractor…” and drift back off to sleep. I bought him several toys that are tractors or dump trucks, or something of that nature, and now it’s not good enough. He wants a real tractor. Now, I may not […]

Must Buy

I guess I am going to have to break down and buy a new chair. This one is starting to fall apart. It had a little snag on the arm, and Kel decided to play with it and has now torn it badly. I’m not sure how the snag got there, probably from someone climbing […]

Hobbies

I seem to bounce from one hobby to the next. I’ve started bird watching and am loving it. I’ve taken several pictures and identified the birds and am now making an album of all the birds I’ve found. Jesse is getting into this with me. Wanna see a few of our finds? I know you […]

I’m sitting outside on my NEW back porch and am loving it… We’ve had a lot of wind lately and it makes me feel like I’m at the ocean, which is one place I love to be. The frogs are going crazy and it reminds me of my childhood, which took place across the road, […]

Finished

My sister came down yesterday afternoon to let me know that her divorce was finally finished. I don’t think she’s very happy about it, but it really is the best thing for her. He was never good to her, and was even worse to her girls. I couldn’t put up with someone mistreating my kids. […]

Since we’ve been spending so much time outdoors lately, the boys have been spending some much needed time playing out there as well. Did you know that a trampoline makes a great babysitter?

You’re often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.

Everyone that comes to my home knows that if you see something you want, I’ll give it to you. In my opinion, the emptier my house is, the better. It makes it a lot easier for Jesse to move around as well. When I find something that gets in his way, I tend to move […]
