Figuring Me Out

Figuring Me Out

Sometimes, as women we get lost in our relationships... lost in all the roles we assume on a daily basis. I know I've posted a couple of times recently about who I am and perhaps you all are getting tired of reading about my process of figuring me out, but ...

Potty Training? Um, No.

Potty Training? Um, No.

Zoe has developed a nasty little habit. She will "boo boo" and then decide immediately that she wants nothing to do with her diaper. So she takes it off. Imagine a 20 month old professional climber making her way up the side of my executive desk with a huge grin ...

There Snow Place Like Home

There Snow Place Like Home

Yesterday morning, it started snowing... well flurry-ing... In Louisiana, that's a major deal. We can just about run around in shorts all winter. It gets cold for about 10 minutes and then it's summer all of a sudden. There's no fall and no spring. LOL Here is a photo of ...

My Girls :)

When the kids miss the bus, I often use our time stuck in the car line to snap a few shots of them before school. Here are a few of Avalyn, Talia, and Briyana from a few days ago:

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

Fibromyalgia, Tumors, and Me

I've had a surprising amount of dialog lately about Fibromyalgia. I have to say it's refreshing to have so many people know what it is... and relate to me. Being diagnosed 18 years ago, I grew up accepting that I had a disorder that no one understood - that many ...

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

Jealousy and Dreams {Life}

I can't honestly say I don't get knots in my stomach when I listen to some of the newest music artists. Having a singing career has always been my dream, but as life would have it - I've had no real opportunities to pursue it... I sometimes am jealous that ...

The Me That I Am

The Me That I Am

With life as busy as it is, I admit there normally aren't many chances throughout the weeks to stop and seriously consider who I am... or what I am doing. I'm one of those people who - no matter how much I try to plan and schedule - typically ends ...

Girly Gazette, Challenge 1: What Makes YOU Feel Fabulous?

The challenge  for Monday, March 1, 2010 from the Girly Gazette was to make a list of things (both minor and major) that make you feel fabulous. They can be physical, mental, or emotional.
I am LATE, LATE, LATE publishing this challenge but I didn’t want to miss out on it. As someone who is habitually anti-punctual, my motto is BETTER LATE THAN NEVER and I …

Just One of Those Days

Today has been one of “those” days. You know… the one where the kids don’t listen, the house seems to vomit messes (since none of the kids have any idea how these things keep getting strown across the floor), and I just can’t get “it” together no matter how hard I try. Normally I can take just about anything in stride, deal with it, and …

Going Back To College

I remember the day my husband and I graduated from Pearl River Community College in Poplarville, MS. It was May 18, 2004 and I could not stop smiling. I was so proud of him. I was so proud of me. It was one of the greatest days of our life together. My husband and I both started almost immediately at Louisiana Tech University but after …

Make Up? For WHAT?!

Talia just walked up to my desk and gave me a very confused look. She cocked her head to the side, appearing extremely perplexed and just stared at me. I gave her the side-eye-glance, asking myself if I really wanted to know what was on her mind. Talia is the child that has no filter between her brain and her mouth. You never know what …
