Our tree is not real. You may wonder why someone who puts up a full Nativity and lights their porch and puts up Nativities around the house would go for the fake tree.
Well let me tell you about Christmas 1997:
#3 had just been born and we had an ice storm here in the Deep [...]

The girls worked all day today but our tree is up and ready for decorations. I cooked Thanksgiving Dinner for Mom and the kids today and we ate a nice dinner. Afterwards, the girls put the tree up while I put out the decorations and the guys watched football. The tree is up, [...]

What is it about this house? I clean and dust all the time, but we are over run with dust bunnies. Our fridge has been on the blink and I swear the compressor hasn’t run all day. Took two days to get the delivery guy out here and all he did was clean [...]

The bone doctor gave me a steroid and it has done it’s job. I feel like a new woman! It’s amazing! Now I see why athletes do these things. I will no longer judge. I swear. Of course, I have no idea if the ones I got as a prescription are the [...]

It’s been in the 70s here lately and I have been doing some fall cleaning. You know window washing, pulling out furniture and cleaning behind it, etc. But got up this morning to take #3 to school, pulled back the covers, and pulled them right back. High today is supposed to be 57.

write letters, tramp through cemeteries, crank microfilm, or now when you type in a name and 40,000,000 hits come up?
Personally, at times, I miss the old days. I miss writing a letter and waiting so long for the reply that you forgot you’d sent it and one day you’d get a letter in [...]

It was a simple statement really. You see, if you are new, we don’t have cable. We only get four channels, so we don’t watch a lot of TV. We’ve lived here almost 15 years. We put our entertainment center on the most inconvenient wall of the living room 15 years ago, because that is [...]

Yup, that’s me…Just a regular mom living a life of Momdom, which according to my spellchecker is not a word, yet all you mom’s know what I mean. I spend most of my day doing the following:
Carpool
Laundry
Dishes
Laundry
Wishing I could nap
Laundry
Lunch
Laundry
When what I wish my life was more like that of a soap opera mom [...]

Okay, maybe I underestimated how much Hubby and the kids were missing the dog…
Our screened in porch has three sides that are the outside of the house. The fourth wall is screen that Hubby covers in heavy plastic in winter to make a snug warm house for our one remaining kitty. Occasionally she gets visitors, [...]
