I had one of those eye-opening experiences yesterday. Â You know the ones, where you suddenly realize that either you’ve changed or things around you have changed without you noticing. Â It happened while I was at church. Â I went through the meeting like I normally do – I bowed my head during the opening prayer and [...]

There are some things that we just don’t say around children. Â Words of anger or disagreement or worry. Â Curse words, of course, and sometimes words of sadness or gossip. Â I think it’s safe to say that most of us would classify such discussions as “adult talk only.” Â The reason is obvious, we don’t want our [...]

Mother’s Day is always a special event. Â It’s a day to celebrate all the things that mothers have done for us. Â All the little things like when they sang us to sleep at night, or calmed us during a thunderstorm, or kissed us goodbye on the first day of school. Â Or the big things such [...]

Â But I am going to talk about something that is somewhat controversial just because I’m curious what others think. Â See, I grew up around guns – [...]

It was cold outside. Â That was to be expected though, as it was well past 7:00 pm. Â The parking lot was rather full considering the amount of rain coming down. Â I parked several feet from the front of the store and grabbed my bag as I slammed the car door shut. Â I ducked my head [...]

With the CPA out-of-town this weekend, it seemed like the perfect time to get a lot of stuff checked off the old “to do” list. Â I planned on giving the upstairs a complete overhaul: the bathroom, the living room, the kitchen and the bedroom all needed a little TLC. Â Okay, a lot of TLC. Â I [...]

I came home from church Sunday morning expecting to find my poor, sick husband sprawled out on the bed, where he had been resting all morning. Â Instead, I found this: Apparently while I was gone, the CPA had decided that it was time for an intervention on behalf of our furry little friends – Sophie and [...]

I had a perfect weekend. Perfect in a birds chirping, flowers blooming, kind-of way. From Friday (when I left work early) to last night when we watched Desperate Housewives (doesn’t Edie’s husband just give you the creeps?) everything was perfect. My weekend began on Friday when my mom and stepdad flew into town. Even though they [...]
