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 ...

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 ...

Zoe’s On the Move!

BIG Mistake:
Leaving a very inviting plate of spaghetti on my filing cabinet…
Once Zoe caught sight of it, she began her *climby* plight :)
{and yes, that is a toothbrush in her mouth… don’t ask…}

Almost there!!!

I made it… with a toothbrush AND a drink… and didn’t waste a drop!

Now, it’s time to turn on the charm…

She’s gotten Briyana involved now :)

Yep… works every time!

Zoe + Blood = :(

A couple of nights ago, I was sitting here working on a graphic and my husband was laying on the couch watching a movie. The kids were in their rooms doing whatever kids do in their rooms… Zoe was in Briyana’s room watching her put up posters out of her Hannah Montana book. All of a sudden, we heard this loud BOOM followed by a …

It’s that time again – FAMILY UPDATE!

First of all, the question I find myself asking more and more frequently as the months WHIZ by me:

WHO IN THE HECK TOLD THESE KIDS
THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GROW UP!?

And, no – I don’t consider me whispering a silent, “Lord I can’t wait until they turn 18 so I can send them to COLLEGE!” to be expressed permission for them to grow up. I mean, …
