Those who follow me on Twitter are probably familiar with the situation I’ve been having with my washing machine for the last couple of weeks. It has alternated between the water deciding to run freely without ceasing and the drum not spinning after the water drains. This means that for almost every load I’ve washed during this time period, I’d either had to stop the …

My husband’s mom just called to tell him that his Dad’s mom died. She’s been in the hospital for over a week now… they had already kind of “given up” and accepted that this was inevitable. It’s still rough. His grandmother was one of the few people in his family that always loved and accepted me… always treated me like family instead of some outsider. …

I think we’ve all experienced some degree of depression … some type of extreme hardship … some immense pressure … something that made us want to click our heels and wake up in another place… in another life.
We’ve had had those times in our lives when we wished we had never been born … or prayed for God to just take our life back.
Or, maybe …

Tonight, I found out that a few hours ago one of my really good friends from college and her son were in a bad car accident. I haven’t received any word about Charmayne, but her son, Cinsere, was on life support the last I heard… he’s only four. Charmayne is such a sweetie. I went to college with her and her son’s …

My heart is breaking for the two families who lost a child within the last few days… just the thought of Cinsere not making it was heart wrenching enough… but as soon as the relief of knowing his condition was improving began to resonate, I learned of two other families who weren’t quite so lucky. On December 6, Kristine Brite {@kristinebrite} lost her 5 day …

Today has been one of those relentless, unrewarding parenting days… you know, the day when all of your children make a secret, unspoken pact to push their powers to the limit so that they can test you under pressure and see just exactly how much disobedience, disrespect, and mayhem you can tolerate before you completely crack? … The day when NOTHING they do is cute …

I admit it. I was dumb-dumb-dumb enough to actually BE at WalMart at 5am on Black Friday. Let me first say that this is the first time I’ve ever actually participated in the whole race-to-get-there-first part of Black Friday. Normally, I go around 10:15am and pick through whatever happens to be left of the after-Thanksgiving sales. This year, however, there were two electronic items that …

I am a writer.
Sometimes that’s a good thing. Sometimes, not so much. The good thing is that I’ve never been at a loss for words… never really experienced any type of writer’s block. The downside of that is that all to often, I find myself with TOO much to say. To my friends, I am notorious for being extremely long-winded. What that translates into in …

Oh my GOSH. This turns my stomach. It’s like an elementary-age clothes-on ORGY! I’m sorry… but somebody should seriously be in JAIL for this video. There comes a point where just because the clothes aren’t off doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be considered child pornography.
It’s not only the fact that some wacked-out sicko will probably get all hot and bothered by watching this video, but they …

I ran across this post today: What About Being Naked in Front of a 6-Year-Old? Hillary Swank…on sleeping naked … and it REALLY struck a chord in me which led to these tweets:
Why is this such a big deal? Well, for obvious reasons:
This is NOT her kid.
She’s naked.
That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. As a mother, I can’t imagine being okay with …

Sorry – this post got LONG very quickly. If you don’t make it all the way through, at least be sure to read the last paragraph :) My week started out uneventful. Little did I know, it would quickly be turning into an all-too-familiarly chaotic week full of financial struggles, sick children, compromising situations, and headaches. Don’t get me wrong, my week has had its …

This morning, as I began to develop a headache from listening to my two oldest daughters argue – yes, ARGUE – about saying their prayer together, I shouted, “FORGET IT! Your hearts are not in the right place. Don’t even worry about it. There’s no sense in you wasting 5 minutes of your life bickering with one another and then saying a quick, nonchalant shout-out …

I woke up this morning to a pretty big shock: I no longer have a job. I’ve not really wanted to think about it as this is probably the last thing in the world that we can actually take as a family right now. It’s hard enough as it is with one income and POOF – now even that is gone. It’s by God’s grace …
