Who takes their phone EVERYWHERE? Oh you do too? Good to know. Mine is kinda like a 4th child. When I first got an iPhone Tim said to me, “I want you to have this with you all the time so will answer your calls and texts, k? If you do not have it with…
Snowy Wishes
When I was in the fourth grade it snowed in Austin, Texas, where I grew up. I remember it well because we got a day or two off from school and I was 9, the prime age for playing in the snow. However, being a southern girl, I did not having proper snow-weather attire and…

My Day. How Was Yours?
“Would you please not do that?” “Why did you do that?” “Really?!” “Tell your brother you are sorry.” “Well then, we’ll just go home!” “Mom does not respond to whining.” “You want another snack? But you JUST ate.” “No, you may not have another piece of candy.” “Please, just get in the bathroom.” “IF YOU…
