Brought to you by the letters N K O T B 2008-06-02 13:12:02 I totally stole that from Melissa… except her letters were G O D… and you should go read that post… really…
but AFTER you read what I have to tell you… or now if the letters N K O T B mean absolutely nothing to you.
Good, you’re all still here.

He Meets Us Where We Are… Carnival & Contest! 2008-06-02 00:02:12 I had such an awesome time sharing my testimony with you all…and there’s a reason that I shared it when I did, despite being asked for over a year.
I wasn’t ready until now.
For whatever reason, I felt that sharing that, without a real live face in front of me would be in essence baring my soul. I’ve never felt compelled to share the whole story, not knowing who would read Read more:Carnival

How Low is Low? 2008-06-03 23:57:21 One of my bloggy BFF’s Soliloquy is having a little contest and she wants to know an embarrassing moment or one in which you sunk low… this just after dropping her sister off at the Greyhound station… and since I have a Greyhound story, and because she won’t stop bugging me to blog about it since I want to win the prize, I’m going to share it with you.

WOW!!! What a Contest! 2008-06-05 09:42:04 We love some Christian music up in this place… and I LOVE to drive around, windows down, and crank it… and always wonder if the teenagers in the car next to me shake their heads when they hear the bass and see me rocking out with the words… “WE. ARE. THE. REDEEMED. We are the ones who are free! ‘Cause we belong to Jesus” (That would be Fee by the way.)
And I&# Read more:Contest
Putting on my face… and a giveaway! 2008-06-05 09:06:39 This is my 600th post and what better way to celebrate than by documenting how I apply makeup for the sole purpose of entertainment… and to possibly win a prize.
What I won’t do to win a prize…
But the gals over at Chic Critique are hosting a “blog your face” carnival so if you want to learn a little more about great products and application tips, don’t read my Read more:Putting
On being spoiled and hot… and a winner… :D 2008-06-06 23:17:36 I have a new appreciation for any one who has to do manual labor all day in the heat. Seriously. I feel like I am spoiled.
I worked hard today… and my competitive nature showed. But I like being competitive when it doesn’t get out of hand. It makes me fee so alive….
Today, I headed over to the kids’ school for Field Day. When I arrived I felt ambushed. All of th Read more:winner
Rachael Ray I Am Not… 2008-06-06 10:01:39 Or Emeril… or Julia Childs… or whoever that dude is on Hell’s Kitchen…
I WANT to be, but I fall very short.
I’ve done a few things about it, but I’m still not a good cook.
Yes, I’ve had some successes. Few. And they come when it’s important in my life, like cooking a meal for a guy for the first time, Thanksgiving dinner with church or when you inv Read more:Rachael

The End of a Season 2008-06-07 23:04:55 Tonight, we played our last softball game of the regular season. It’s done. Finished.
And I?
Survived.
I have mixed emotions about it. Part of me is excited that I can now have my nights and weekends back but the other part of me is going to miss these girls. Miss the game. [...] Read more:Season

What’s Wrong With This Picture? 2008-06-09 07:54:16 I’m off today and tomorrow. Like, I took two days of vacation. Which is fine. I don’t mind taking vacation. I don’t have to do it often because I work from home, so unless I’m actually GOING somewhere, I don’t take it.
But I’m not going anywhere today and tomorrow.
I’m cleaning.
Did you get that? CLEANING.

To My Dearest Matthew… 2008-06-09 06:00:16 Today, you graduate from elementary school. I have mixed emotions about this and it’s been no secret to you or the internet as I’ve prepared for this over the past year.
But what stands out in my mind the most is that I am so STINKIN’ proud of you! You’ve come a long way [...] Read more:Matthew
Little Bit O Bloggy Bizzness… 2008-06-08 14:12:49 I have so much to share with you today, that I have two choices… combine them all into one post or have five different posts. I’ve opted for one post. It’s easier and then I don’t blow up your feed reader. You can thank me later.
There’s a Contest Going On…
Since I’ve celebrated my 600th post [...]

This is who I am… online and off 2008-06-10 11:02:29 I’m supposed to be cleaning today. Remember?
Um, yeah…
Let’s just be honest for a minute. It’s not going to happen. Not today at least. I got the kitchen done yesterday. I got the laundry done yesterday. But I did not get my bedroom done, which is fine. I did [...] Read more:online
Bible Lessons in the Beer Aisle 2008-06-13 00:12:45 It’s not a huge secret that every once in awhile, I like to partake in an adult beverage. I just do. I’m not going to lie about it. Margaritas are my favorite, followed by Mudslides, and then, of course, I like sissy beer… (Barcardi Silver).
A 6 pack normally lasts me the whole winter, if not [...] Read more:Lessons
The Throws of Summer Vacation… 2008-06-12 11:57:48 I wish I could sit here and talk about how much we are enjoying summer break. Well, I guess I could say that. But it would be a lie. And I’m all about keepin’ it real.
And keepin’ it real would require me to tell you that I’m about to pull my hair out, strand by [...] Read more:Vacation

Happy Father’s Day to All the Single Moms… 2008-06-14 23:06:33 Today we celebrate Father
’s Day… and by we, I mean all single mothers. The reason? Most of us have taken on additional roles, some of them ones that we aren’t necessarily cut out to do. We “take one for the team” when it comes to our kids and while you may hear us say, “That’s [...] Read more:Happy
It’s all how you play the game… 2008-06-14 13:27:48 In everything I do, I attempt to be the bigger person. Sometimes that means keeping my mouth shut when I don’t want to. For those of you who know me, that’s not easy.
At. All.
I wasn’t always this way. There was a time that I just said what I wanted to say. I fought insignificant battles [...]
Meet Professor Wilma 2008-06-16 22:38:18 I have an alter ego. Her name is Professor Wilma. Tonight she was captured on video, so that I could share her with you.
Ironically, when I got home from VBS tonight, I had an email from Jaime. I met Jaime when I helped redid her blog with the help of Jo-Lynn and [...]
Oh. My. Word. Guess where I am going? 2008-06-18 13:07:40 BLOGHER!!!!!
I’ve been seeing all the ads for BlogHer and She Speaks… and I was bummed. Just to make me feel better, I looked at the airfare because I knew that it would be the deal breaker. Come on… gas is high, airfares are high and I knew that seeing a $600 plane ticket from here [...] Read more:Guess
Guess What I Did? 2008-06-18 01:02:46 Went and got myself involved in WAY too much…

And then there’s [...] Read more:Guess
On gifted children… 2008-06-27 06:11:45 Please welcome Kelsey from My Sweet Life…
We were at the park and I overheard a mother talking to another women about how gifted her little Jimmy is. She went on and on about how Jimmy can count, write his name and get this pee in the potty. Yes these are signs of a true [...]
A few things before I go…. 2008-06-26 23:11:42 I think I’m kinda packed. It’s tough. I have to take work clothes and play clothes. And I have to pack our things
for this weekend in an overnight bag so I don’t have to lug the suitcase in and out of the hotel. And since I’m meeting Soliloquy on Saturday, I have to have [...]
You know what I HATE about traveling? 2008-06-26 11:31:36 No, it’s not the getting there or coming home.
It’s not layovers at the airport (even though we’re driving now)…
it’s the freaking LAUNDRY.
Now…
It’s my fault. I’ll take the blame.
I did all the kids’ laundry before they left. All washed, folded, put away.
But mine?
I didn’t need it last Saturday… so I just pushed that to the si
A whole lotta random… 2008-06-25 10:48:57 It seems to me that I’ve used that title before, but who really knows…
I don’t… there have been over 600 titles in the past 18 months and for me to be original and unique every single time is… well… i just don’t think that it’s possible…
So…
First, let’s talk about the bachelorette. Are you watching? What [...]
Will it always be this way? 2008-06-24 23:23:55 Sometimes I look at the standards that my kids have set for themselves and wonder if they will always
have them.
For example, let’s take time away from home…
Matthew calls regularly to check in, just to say hi, and to tell me what he’s doing. Sam never does unless she needs to ask permission (which, yes, [...]
Looking for a few guest bloggers… 2008-06-24 10:15:01 I’m going to be gone for a little while… and while I would love to entertain the idea that I would be able to post ona somewhat regular basis while I’m gone, let’s be honest… I probably won’t be able to.
I will be IN AN OFFICE all day. I can’t tell you the last time [...] Read more:bloggers
