Which Way?

Last night I was praying with C, and at the end  I prayed that C and D would grow to repent and believe in Jesus. When I was done, C said, “D doesn’t want to go his way.” I wasn’t  sure which “his” she was referring to, so I said, “What way does D want [...]

Shoulder Length?

I’ve been long overdue for a haircut.  I was growing out the short layered style I had for a couple years, and it has been so nice to be able to wear a ponytail again.  Being at home with three kids, days go by that I don’t fix my hair, just stick it in a [...]

Father’s Day

So D and I were at Lowe’s this morning, and we walked by the riding mowers.  D piped up: "This is what Daddy wants.  When we were here, he got to try one." Me: "Oh, he did, did he?" D: "Yeah.  That’s what I want to get him for Father’s Day.  When is Father’s Day?" [...]

Middle Child Syndrome and Sibling Rivalry

It’s happening too soon!  C is starting to act out and is being very babyish lately.  We think she’s having a case of "Middle Child Syndrome".  She has started wetting her pants multiple times a day (she’s been potty trained for a year!) and is always whining to be held or picked up.  She wakes [...]

The Dental Saga Continues

Well, I have been in pain ever since the visit to the dentist over a week ago, so after seeing me again, my dentist sent me to an endodontist to evaluate my need for a root canal.  This morning I went to meet the endodontist, and sure ’nuff, a root canal was indeed in order.  [...]

Skip-Bo Wars

My 6-1/2 year old son D is all about games.  Video games, baseball games, card games, board games, you name it.  It is his passion.  As he has become old enough to play grown-up games, we have a blast playing together.  Our favorite is Skip-Bo. We have tournaments, and I usually win.  (In our house, [...]

Three-Year -Old Theology

Well, at least she’s got her theology straight.  C and D were fighting over the leather chair in our living room.  They were both on it, each trying to claim their personal space.  They were pushing each other back and forth. Finally C yelled, “He’s gonna hurt my arm… that Jesus made!”

Feets

So C has this adorable pink gingham tie-up shade on the window in her bedroom.  Her window is right above her bed. You get where I am going with this. After I spent 30 minutes folding it just so and getting the bows to look exactly the way I wanted them, I explained to C [...]

High Maintenance Baby

I didn’t think I’d be using these words to describe my second daughter.  My first daughter was labeled High Maintenance from Day 1.  She gets that from her dad, of course.  *wink* But R has thus far been as laid back as her brother.  Until it came to eating solids.  For one thing, she cannot [...]

Dental Work, Part II

So I go in last night to start my dental work. I enter a serene lobby, complete with calming beach motif wallpaper and the peaceful sounds of a waterfall. Like that is going to make me feel relaxed. Nice try, though. I am greeted by a pretty, smiling face at the front desk. She puts [...]
