The Best & Worst Thing About The Last Day of School!

See, I am not and never have been one of those moms who count down the days till my kids are out of the house. I cried and mourned when the older three graduated and went away to college. My youngest is still home, but just last night had her eighth grade promotion ceremony! So, (heavy sigh inserted here) once again this fall, her father and I will take her to the high school and do the tour and send her into ninth grade! Yikes! Trust me when I say if there was a way to slow down time, I would have done it long ago!!

REMEMBER

Second to REMEMBER is what we are and what we are is free! Thanks to the men and women who serve this country, we are all free! Let’s never forget that and take it for granted lest we lose our freedom.

What if I told you that there was a way to have your cake and eat it too and be satisfied? What if there is so much more to life than having it one way or the other? That you can enjoy the fruits of your labor and find treasure in the most unlikely places.

The Mother L.O.A.D. “S”

O- On-the-job-training. Is there any other job out there that bears more danger or thrills, heartbreak or adoration, struggles or rewards? And that is all in one day!

The Trouble With April Showers

The trouble with April showers is that we need them to bring May flowers but why can’t it just rain at night? You know- while I’m asleep! Sunshine all day and a gentle, nourishing rain at night so the grass will stay green and the flowers will bloom and the rivers not go dry.

The Trouble With Birthdays

The Bad Things People Say:
“You look good for blankety blank age.” Really? Like, why can’t I just look good?

I’m Not Superwoman, But I Play One In Real Life

Our invisible capes flap behind us as we hustle through the grocery store, because let’s face it, no one wants to be in there any longer than absolutely necessary when you have two or three toddlers in tow! Our capes fly in the wind as we dart out the door and pile into the car…

Weeding Through the Weeds

Do you ever find yourself fighting with the “weeds” of life? Those pesky annoyances that keep returning? Much like our flower beds, life can sometimes feel like it’s becoming overgrown and choked out by weeds.

The Beauty Within the Beast

We may never know what battles a person is dealing with-and there is not one of us that does not deal with something! So it begs the question: if we are all dealing with the beast within each of us, shouldn’t we be merciful and show kindness to one another?

This Too Shall Pass

My life felt completely turned upside down and I remember feeling very much out of control and as if this was how every day was going to be for the REST OF MY LIFE and my grandmother chuckled! Why did she chuckle?
