You know, it’s funny. I look back through the photos on my phone and I just have to laugh at the random-ness of my life sometimes. I mean yeah, typical “mom” stuff with pics of my kids, etc. But just like good ole Forest Gump said, “Life IS like a box of chocolates”, especially around…
Off the cuff…
When my alarm went off this (Thursday) morning I thought a police siren woke me up. That’s how out of it I was. SO tired. For a specific reason that I am sure once a month many of you can relate to. Anywho. I got up and made the kids breakfast (popped frozen things in…
LIfe in an iPhone
Once again, I am thankful for the little moments in my life that I can capture with my phone. My big camera has been reserved for photo shoots lately (I do ADORE my little side job!) so it seems that my kids and other life stuff gets recorded on my phone instead. So here’s my…
The Family Bed
I hear the door down the long hallway as it clicks and creaks open. I know he is coming after he stops at the bathroom to tinkle. And he does, his feet literally pitter-pattering down the hall. Next he is right by the bed and my tired ears hear him, “Mommy, can I snuggle?” I…
Taking a Step Back
She sat by the door in her bedroom, “Indian style” with the green shag carpet grazing each of her calves. The full length mirror on the back of the door served as a periscope into her teenage soul. “Who are you, REALLY?” she would ask as she gazed deep and long into her own brown…
F to the L to the U
I hate to have left such a “not so happy” post up on my blog for the last few days but you know, sometimes life is just well… that way. I’ve been in bed since Tuesday morning with the dreaded FLU. Full on fever, body aches cough, horrible, no-good, very bad FLU. And the kids…
This weekend & MEM
Blink, blink, blink goes the cursor. Throb, throb, throb goes my head. But still, I want to put something out there for you all to see and read because I thrive off of it. I want to tell you how busy the weekend was with two photo shoots(!) and preparation for my son’s first communion…
So I guess I can extend our zoo membership…
We are staying. It is a really good thing for my husband and for our family. But part of me wants to go. So badly. It is not that I do not like it here. But I like it at HOME better. Parts of my mind try to tell me to believe this can be…
One Part Glitter, Two Parts Dirt
The too warm water runs over my hands as I scrub another dish and the ketchup remnants fall into the sink. I hear the cardinal in the crepe myrtyle across the way chirping and I see his red feathers flash as he makes his way closer to my window. I think about how I wish…
PT stands for Pretty Tired.
So I started that PT for my ankle and it actually turns out my ENTIRE right side from lower back down is a tad messed up. Who knew? Apparently my right hip sits further forward than my left and that explains a lot of my issues. And this morning this physical therapist/chiropractor dude with big…
