I am not traditionally a “morning person”. Morning means getting out of bed and I’m a HUGE fan of lying in bed, even if I’m not sleeping. Thankfully, I have a husband who is much more “morning person”esque than myself. Many mornings he gets up and feeds the kids and even makes The B Man’s…
Time flies, but as long as I’m flying with him, it’s all good.
When I think about November of 1995 I recall how I was happy with my life as it was. I was in my Junior year of college, living with one of my best friends, having a good time and loving life as a twenty-year old. I was still “talking to” a boy I’d dated over…
Where I am From
A couple of my favorite fellow bloggers did posts like this not too long ago and I was inspired by them to write this… I am from cotton farmers and people who speak “Czech”. I am from Summer nights catching fireflies and Fourth of Julys sitting on top of my Dad’s old Chevy watching the…
Reflections of Me
I look at myself anywhere from 5-25 times a day in a mirror. Usually to put in my contact lenses or do my hair or to put make-up on my face. And of course to see how I look in the clothes I put on for any given day. When I was a teenager I…
I’ve Done VERY Little to Support the Sugar Industry These Last Three Months and Zumba is My New Best Friend
When I was a little girl I was pretty chunky. I always had to have the biggest soccer shorts and sometimes even those didn’t fit me. But I still wore them. Ugh. I was the ‘biggest’ girl in dance class (not the tallest, but widest) and I was teased a lot. One time while riding…
You Capture – Every Day Things
Or in this case, things I see Every Day. As I wandered around my house wondering what “every day” things to capture I realized that one of my favorite aspects about our rental is the fact that I’ve put my own stamp on it with the pretty items that I like and have in this…
In Control?
As I was driving back from picking up The B Man’s school supplies the other day, it struck me. “Tim would never do this.” And I don’t mean that in a negative or mean or bitter way. I just mean he wouldn’t. School supplies are my ‘job’. Partly because I don’t work so, uh yeah….
Tweet Week
So apparently you really CAN keep up with my life if you follow me on twitter. This may be a re-run for some of you that do, but I just thought it was interesting to document a week just from my ‘tweets’… First of all, you can know my daily schedule of events:So far today…
Imperfect
On the outset my life looks perfect. Right? A wonderful husband who loves and respects me. Three beautiful children, in some people’s ideal order, two boys and a girl. We are surrounded by “stuff,” have a nice home, plenty of food to eat and probably too many clothes to wear. I can take decent pictures…
Weighty Issues
It’s a capped sleeve that no longer fits your arm… It’s a picture of yourself that you don’t want to see… It’s a number on the scale that makes you cry… Last night I cried myself to sleep because I feel SO ungodly fat right now. I know I’m not THAT big, but I’m big…
