At only twenty degrees, yesterday was a frightfully cold day in our local neck of the woods in Texas — so cold that the majority of schools either closed down or started late. Nevertheless, my three older, half-crazed, half-dazed, superhero monkeys and I woke up early planning for a regular school day. Little did I [...]

Four A.M. Affections of a Two-Year-Old
I know that my little Arthur loves me and that I am the center of his little two-year-old world. For no other will he give wet, soggy puppy dog kisses that seem to linger even after I have wiped the saliva off my face. Only to me will he cling, wrapping his little body around [...]
A Blogging We Will Go
Our once decorated and sweet looking Christmas tree is officially bare of all candy canes (we have a tradition of hanging candy canes on our Christmas tree). The presents are now long gone and in the hands of their (hopefully) happy owners. The many bags of wasted wrapping paper sit dormantly, waiting to [...]
Time Slipped Past Me
Come this New Year, it will be ten years since my father-in-law passed away. As the world turns and the days pass by from year to year, my husband and I continue to miss him. He was a wonderful, caring, and loving man, and words still cannot express how we felt that horrific day that [...]
Sixth Sense

Instead, I was stuck in Dallas/Fort Worth traffic while trying to complete a number of errands before heading to my brother’s college graduation ceremony. Having lived most of my driving career in [...]
An Abnormal Assessment
Last week, my daughter sat for three laborious hours filling out the tiny bubbles to a mandatory eighth grade career assessment that she really did take seriously. Being a somewhat ambitious child (one of my few ones), she truly wanted to know what type of career she would be best suited for. By the time [...]
Thursday’s Thoughts on What Is It Wednesday
This week, I really had to rummage through all the posts from last week to find a related picture for What Is It Wednesday. It didn’t help that most of last week’s posts were about pomegranates. I guess I have Rayner to thank for that one. However, we haven’t had any other problems since he’s [...]
What Is It Wednesday
What do you think this picture is? If you need a hint, be sure to look at one of my posts from this week. I’ll try to do this each Wednesday where I post a close up picture of something that was mentioned from the past week.
