The card read, addressed to Matt from Trey. Yes, today it was Matt’s bither day. And, as I am wont to do on bither days and anniversaries (we haven’t yet broached independent spellings on THAT one yet), I wax nostalgic reminiscing of the man whose life we celebrate: Matt. On Matt’s last bither day, I… Continue reading Happy bither day!
A winning weekend
Well, on the homefront, I can honestly say it wasn’t the most productive of weekends. The lawn didn’t get mowed. The laundry didn’t get finished. The house didn’t get vacuumed. The dishes didn’t get washed…heck, I didn’t even turn on the dishwasher. But, really, none of that mattered. It’s time for FOOTBALL!!
Dealing with Stress
I really wanted to post this yesterday, but it was so late by the time I got home from church & choir that I just gave up. Yesterday was the annual David L. Edwards Faculty Award for Service and Leadership presentation at DTS. This year marked the award’s 10th recipient, and on September 20 we… Continue reading Dealing with Stress
Fulfill your destiny – NOT!
The best laid plans…are the ones most likely to go wrong. Or something like that. I think Murphy stinks. And his whole law should be thrown out the window. A SECOND STORY window, at that. Okay, let me explain. Today being Labor Day and all, we decided to do some family bonding. A little road… Continue reading Fulfill your destiny – NOT!
The First Week
I didn’t have my blog up and running in time to document the first day of school for either of my children, so I’m doing an end-of-Trey’s-first week blog instead! The Texas legislature finally had the hoo-hah to enforce a policy they passed years ago – that no school in Texas would start prior to… Continue reading The First Week
Look, Ma! I’m on TV!
To be honest, Iwasn’t exactly on TV, but the entrance to our neighborhood was. And the old railroad trestle next to our development was. And the “Dead Man’s Curve” under the bridge was. So there. It was quite an interesting day, to say the least. My first day of my “new” normal was definitely…not.
The end of an Era
Or at least 13 months. I can assure you, there were days it FELT like an era. And I did enough work in those 13 months to FILL an era. But enough about that. On to the important stuff: As of today at 2:00, I am officially unemployed!
Love in 5 Languages
This fall, I have the privilege of leading a parenting class on Wednesday nights through our DiscipleLife program. I’ll be teaching The 5 Love Languages of Children. Tonight was the overview, where each teacher had the opportunity to present their class and share a little bit about it. For my class, I had found a… Continue reading Love in 5 Languages
As ready as a lever bee
Ah, the nuances of the English language. So hard to decipher. Especially when you’re 7. Or 4. As a former English minor in college, I cannot let these miscues go unnoticed. No, I must sit there and laugh myself silly, because after all, my kids are so darn cute. In that spirit, I offer you… Continue reading As ready as a lever bee
The birth of a blog
After a year of sharing a family blog with my dear husband, I’ve decided it’s time. Time to grow up and have my own blog. This will be my space to share my thoughts, my cbd products my funny moments…my LIFE. It’ll be time for girl chat and hanging out. For letting my hair down… Continue reading The birth of a blog
