Sitting at dinner last night my 6-year-old piped up, ‘Hey Mom, you need to sing on TV.” I looked over at her confused, “What?” She smiled and repeated herself, ‘You need to sing on the TV.” The boys chimed in, ‘Yeah mom!” One of the boys added, “Yeah! You’d be like Dolly … [Read more...]
Wicked!!!
I’m currently listening to the Wicked soundtrack on repeat…and singing all the parts at the top of my lungs. All. Day. Long. I mean in my head I’m both Elphaba AND Galinda. Equally. At the same time. Because. It’s WICKED! And I can’t help geeking out! Wonder where my oldest … [Read more...]
Love me Like you Love Deer Season
Coach walked in as I was working on my laptop, “OK, I know you’re busy, but just one quick story. You know how bucks…” Um…stop right there. No, I don’t know how bucks do anything. I don’t like hunting stories. I don’t want to hear about how their nasty glands do whatever they … [Read more...]

Coach, I’m Moving in with my Mom…
As my oldest and I walked out the door to do a little dorm shopping this summer, she said, “Mom, It smells like a giant fart in here!” I laughed and replied, “Well, we do live with 4 boys, so…” As we walked back in the door a few hours later, an awful smell overtook me and I … [Read more...]
College and Kindergarten
We moved our oldest into College a few weeks ago, and my heart just hurts. I tear up at the chiropractor. I tear up at church. I tear up in the grocery store. At Wal-Mart? Yep. Doing laundry? Tears. Doing dishes? Tears. Driving down the road? I can’t see. Because … [Read more...]
Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant…
Today, we buried my Grandmother… I’ve been thinking a lot this week about funerals and the strangeness of it all…like for instance… Why is it that when someone we love passes away that we stop everything…Many times our bosses allow us to take off work to drive long … [Read more...]
