  • Why We Keep on Keepin' On

    I had one of those ''Light Bulb'' moments today, call it an epiphany,if you will, in the spirit of the season. Today I had a realization of why, despite all of the obstacles, we keep pushing forward for our SmallBoy - why any parent fights for their child. After weighing the pros and cons of letting SmallBoy join the 5th grade basketball ...
  • O Fairy Godmother, Where Art Thou?

    Madness, I tell you!  I'm not even hosting Thanksgiving and I'm scrambling to get things done while still working full time this week (well, at least til Wednesday).  My youngest sister is coming up for the holidays from Kentucky and bringing her boyfriend to meet the family. Ok, now, I'm sure my sister and her boyfriend wouldn't ...
  • Oh it's Good to Be Back!

    WOW!!! I've been lost in blog-limbo!  Since we last spoke, I've traveled for work again, been ambushed by the school, watched SmallBoy excel on the basketball court, had my LargeBoy tell me he would like to go with his youth group to Tijuana, and am planning for the arrival of my youngest sister for the holidays! I have some pictures to ...

  • Tell Me When I'm Beautiful - Part 2

    Please note this is a recreated post as I could not find it on the internet archive. Soon after the APA report was released my favorite (not) editorial writer came out with a critique. I have to say directly to Kathleen Parker, please come up with a new tune! She starts out by first showing us that she has no idea why reports like this are ...

  • Tell Me When I'm Beautiful - Part 1

    Please note this is a recreated post as I could not find it on the internet archive. What do you say to that? As I stared at my 3.5-year-old my heart ached. Has it started already? ''You're always beautiful, mija.'' On one hand I can't say that it's much different than when I was a kid. I was dumped for a cuter girl by my best friend, Katie, ...
