Snuggled next to my little buddy, he leaned in towards me. I smiled thinking he was about to say something sweet. He looked up and mischievously said, “Whatchagonnadowithdatfatbutt? Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle.” I stared at him. Hard. “What did you just … [Read more...]
Football…another language…
Football season is here again. Many people assume because I am a football coach’s wife that I understand “football.” Coach comes home from a game, and starts speaking “football” rapidly...passionately explaining every hit, every play of the game. He might as well be … [Read more...]
Petey, the Terrible…
Peter Parker. The dog that is not supposed to be my dog. He’s supposed to be the kids’ dog. The dog that has caused me much headache, yet has staked his claim on me as “his person” whether I want to be or not. The same dog that is my foot prop while I am working, my floor … [Read more...]

Two are Better Than One…or, as in Our Case, Four is Best!
This morning I woke up…nose stuffy, throat sore, head hurting. I unfolded myself from my cocoon and slowly trudged out of bed…. Coach had film study and “See you at the Pole” early this morning, so he had already left for work. Half asleep, I headed down the hall to my … [Read more...]
Lego Shelves
With 4 Lego-loving kids, the Lego madness around my house gets a bit overwhelming. We needed a spot to put all of their “amazing creations.” So I told Coach my idea… Puzzled, he reminded me that the area I was talking about was very small, and “what exactly do you … [Read more...]
Rule#1…Let’s not shoot the Sunday School teacher…
I picked Bryce up from church preschool Sunday morning. His teacher looked at me and smiled, “I might just have to keep that sweet boy.” I beamed…a proud mama. She continued, “I usually say that I will give them back around 16, but this one…I would keep forever. I just … [Read more...]
