C-o-f-f-e-e, memories…….. 2008-03-05 19:37:55 I still remember the day just like it was yesterday…….I was studying for finals late one night in college. Some friends suggested we head over to the dining hall for some coffee. They said the dining hall was open late for cookies and coffee during finals week. I was tired, and [...] Read more:memories
Celebrate Good Times C’mon! 2008-02-29 07:16:08 My dear daughter came to me the other day devastated and distraught. At first she was so upset she did not even want to tell me what was bothering her. Eventually the emotions of despair began to spill out. The Inventor is 10, almost 11, and she is just now starting to [...] Read more:Celebrate

Yipee!!!!!! Snow Day! 2008-02-22 11:21:44 I think teachers enjoy a good snow day as much as the kids do. I still feel the same excitement I had as a child when snow is in the forecast. I am hoping, anticipating a day off of school. So today when the phone rang at 5:20am to let us know [...]

Neither [...] Read more:slaves
I could use those prayers….. 2008-02-17 18:44:35 I feel miserable. I’ve had a nasty lingering cold, clogged Eustachian tube, and sore throat for about 10 days. But today……oh it’s gotten worse. Now I have the stomach flu and I am SO tired.
Here are a couple of quotes heard in my house today
“Mom…..what are you doing in there? Oh [...] Read more:prayers
Let it snow…let is snow…let it snow! 2008-02-16 08:36:44 I have always thought family vacations are important times of bonding, and enjoying fun together. Even when I was a SAHM and we were quite broke, we still tried to take some kind of family vacation. We just thought it was a priority to get away together, spend time being a family, and [...]
We need to leave at 7:15am today!!!! 2008-02-07 18:21:37 I yelled to the kids this morning, “we need to leave by 7:15, I have a meeting at school at 7:35 and I can’t be late!” It was 6:45am, and I still needed to eat, pack SportTman’s lunch, find some clean pants in my laundry mess for my son, and try to find 5 [...]
I should never sit down! 2008-03-13 19:36:09 Wow I had “PLS” bad today….not PMS, but PLS. Post Lunch Syndrome! You know that point in the day after lunch when the only thing you really care about at that point is a nice soft pillow, and a nap! I was at school when I suffered through this, I was starting [...]
Why is it so hard for a 13 year old to find someone to play with? 2008-03-16 12:57:38 Ok, I am not one to vent about things on my blog, but the day has come! My son, SportTman is 13, he is not into “going out” with girls yet, he does not spend endless hours on the computer “I-M ing” his friends, he only has a Play Station 1, so it’s [...]
Philippians 3:8 2008-03-20 19:22:21 Several years ago I came across a newspaper article that inspired me and spoke to my heart. I have kept this story safely secured in my bible as a reminder of one man’s courageous faith. I was drawn to this story by reading the headline of a man who tragically died in an [...]
Drought in my brain this week…….. 2008-03-27 10:49:46 Wow, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I have posted! My blogging brain has been shut down this past week! It’s been a weird week. Maybe because outdoor soccer practice has started for The Inventor, and SportTman, is now playing on 2 baseball teams, and those practices have started. [...] Read more:Drought

Wouldn’t it be great…… 2008-04-03 19:06:44
If Oreo cookies, Rolo candy, chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, and Turkey Hill Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream sandwiches were good for you and had no calories! I have really been craving these items lately.
So what item do you wish had no calories……let’s just dream for a brief moment!

My kids have gone retro! 2008-04-08 05:38:05 “Moooooommmmm, check out this cool thing I found in the neighbor’s trash,” my daughter shouted out as she came in the house yesterday. ( The fact that she was digging in the neighbor’s trash is a whole other issue, that I will save for another post!) She calls out, ” I think [...] Read more:retro

Hot dogs??? 2008-04-18 10:33:27 I used to be such a purist when it came to food I fed my family. I was always baking things from scratch using some whole wheat flour in everything I made. I made an array of delicious casseroles and special dishes for dinner. But now with the age of [...]
Bad Baseball game…… 2008-04-22 11:02:36 SportTman had a tournament 2 weeks ago. He did not play real well, he dropped a ball in centerfield that he should have had, he didn’t hit real well, and he messed up a play at short stop, that ended up scoring a run. After the weekend tournament, I was thinking to myself [...]
Big decision….. 2008-04-23 14:25:39 Nap or exercise? Check back later to see what I end up choosing
If you guessed exercise you are right! The nap was tempting, but it was a beautiful day. So I got on my ugly stylish orange biking shirt, and rode several miles out in the hilly, manure smelling farm [...] Read more:decision
6 word meme 2008-04-27 06:40:19 My dear blogging buddy Beautiful Grace tagged me for the 6 word meme, that I have seen on several blogs lately. It’s a great concept……….6 words that would describe your life mission, goals etc. 6 words to describe yourself, tough isn’t it? “Chocolate lover, Laundry Hater, Family Lover, God Server”, well [...]
I had this song in my mind all day…. 2008-04-28 21:32:32 My kids were singing the chorus to this song on the way to school this morning. I have been humming it all day. The lyrics are so powerful, so I thought I would post the song, so you can have it in your mind also.
I will stand………..

Very random thoughts….. 2008-05-01 09:18:38 Beware…this is random…remember I warned you.
I am home sick today with some kind of crazy spring flu. I woke up 2 nights ago, freezing. I promptly put on all the winter clothes I could find, and heated up two herbal hot packs to stuff down my shirt to stay warm. After that I [...] Read more:thoughts
What I have learned since I became a mom…. 2008-05-04 07:03:41 I have been reading some wonderful posts about Mother’s Day lately, and it got me thinking. Since next weekend is Mother’s Day, and as is the case on most spring weekends, SportTman and Drums will be at a baseball tournament, and The Inventor and I will be home for her soccer games. So [...]
Momku…not a Haiku, but a momku 2008-05-08 17:21:18 Here is what my week has been like. I have written it in a new poetry form known as the Momku.
Driving to practices
busy, baseball, buying food
laundry, stained white baseball pants, smelly soccer uniforms, filling up a leaky tire
Driving
making dinner, eating on the deck, sausage on the grill
driving still
fixing the leaky faucet, trying to exercise, [...] Read more:Haiku
