Confessions of a ’sort of’ Drama Queen

August 25, 2010

It would be fair to say that I tend to be a little over dramatic. (Mom, I know you just spit tea on your computer) Ok, maybe a little more than just a little. But I don’t really see it as being dramatic, I just feel like I am a very passionate person and care [...]

Say Good Bye

August 24, 2010

“I want to go home!” Jake said as he crossed his arms over his chest and put a frown on his face.
This statement surprised me, especially since we were home, “Jake what do you mean? We are home, honey.”
“I don’t like this home. I want to go,” he said again trying to be as stern [...]

Wait, Did He Just Sit Down?

August 23, 2010

“Alright, folks. Let’s get the parents up here,” our ‘wedding planner’ (this was her title only, really she just directed traffic) said as she motioned for my parents and Jeff’s parents to get ready to walk up to the front of the church to light candles.

August 21, 2010

Like my friend Mama Kat said, the park is a really uncomfortable place for adults.
I mean what are we suppose to do there; read, text, be on the computer, taunt, er I mean, play with our kids?

“While we try to teach out children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

Good Choice or Bad Choice? It doesn’t Matter Since the Fairies will Bring you Home

August 18, 2010

“MOM!”
I heard the blood chilling scream all the way upstairs where I was putting laundry away.
I dropped the shirt I was trying to stuff into the cubby and ran downstairs.
“What, what? Hayden was is wrong?” I said as a came upon a sobbing mess of a boy at the bottom of the stairs.
“WLKHSOIOISFOIS,” he said [...]

No More Babies

August 17, 2010

Sometimes it happens when I am sitting on the couch watching TV.
Sometimes it happens when I am driving the car.
Sometimes it happens when I am writing a blog post.
But each time it happens, I am taken back to when the movements in stomach were little babies flitting back and forth instead of just a gas [...]
