It’s More Than A Dream…Plus A Giveaway 2008-07-19 13:10:50 After watching a marathon of Roseanne reruns, I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up this morning in a daze, reminiscent of my teenage years. The ones in which I spent the entire night plotting to leave my family of repression and move to New York to be the first soap opera actress to [...] Read more:Dream
Girl Puhleeze 2008-08-05 14:19:24 “I’m so stressed. Seriously. I can’t even sleep.”
My friend stares back with a blank expression.
“What’s that look for?”
“Isn’t your husband hunting in Kodiak for the week and your kids are at their grandmother’s?”
“Yes.”
“So you have the house to yourself with no husband and no kids?”
“Yes.”

And I Still Adore Them 2008-08-03 00:29:47 On Tuesday, Eric falls down the stairs for the ten thousand and fifth time.
“Eric, you have to hold on to the railing!” I’m exasperated. He’s always in a rush and trips on the last three steps which always sends me into a panic.
“Mom! It’s okay! My muscles are used to it that I don’t [...]
Study the Word Wednesday: Yielding to God 2008-07-30 11:00:52 When life gets beyond the normal difficulties, it is challenging to give up your worries and believe with a whole heart that God bears the burden of planning our lives.
I’m writing this entry today, not just for you…my readers, but for myself.

I Listen To NPR. So There. 2008-08-19 10:45:30 Over the weekend, I attended a Cabi Party. I had never been to one and had no idea what a CABI even was. I assumed we’d be browsing through a collection of 1950’s checkered cab memorabilia. Possibly James Dean posters and figurines as well. With that in mind, I agreed to go.
The party was held at [...] Read more:Listen
ChaseNKids Style and Review PLUS a Giveaway! 2008-08-18 10:14:40
I have a limited number of jeans because most jeans in my size are hip huggers. Thirteen years ago, I would have been all about the hip hugging jeans. If I decide to wear them, without the support of control top pantyhose or a girdle, I’m tripping over my stomach. And while the jeans certainly fit [...] Read more:Style
CAPS. THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF. 2008-08-14 11:01:15 (Note: Study the Word Wednesday and ChaseNKids Style and Review will resume the week of August 18th)
So the short end of the story is I’m dealing with depression. There. I said it. I’ve been pretty open about dealing with depression in the past, but this time I don’t have the comfort of taking anti depressants. [...]

Hope in God 2008-09-07 15:12:17 I’m passionate about healthcare reform, but not as passionate as I am when it comes to loving Jesus Christ. However, as someone who has to take each day as it comes, I have to remind myself as a Christian I can’t base my dealings with life on emotions. I have to live my life on [...]
ChaseNKids’ Comment Of The Day 2008-09-06 16:56:04 This comment made me laugh so hard, I almost choked on the grapes I was eating.
Please do not send me emails analyzing what you think my political opinions are. I do not belong to any party affiliation.
And I like it that way.
Without further ado…The ChaseNKids’ Comment
of the Day is from Yolanda:

You Be Funny Now, Mommy 2008-09-28 14:35:35 “Wouldn’t it be funny if my name was Jo?”
“Huh?”
“My name. It would be funny if my name was Jo and not Eden Marie.”
“Why would that be funny?”
“Because then you’d be Jo Mama. Get it? JO MAMA. Like Yo Mama?”
And we were afraid she didn’t inherit the Chase/Lozada Cheese Humor gene. Read more:Funny

Did I Mention The Pink Sponge Rollers? 2008-09-25 19:46:51 “I was bending over in my car, trying to find my cell phone and he whistled at me.”
“That’s hot.”
“I was wearing my husband’s work boots that were ten sizes too big, a long nightgown and a rain coat as a robe.”
“Uh, yeah…not so hot.”
“So it wasn’t a whistle like, ‘Yeah baby, you looking fine!‘ It [...] Read more:Sponge

I’m Awake. My Eyes Are Just Resting. 2008-10-16 14:25:09 Late Sunday night, I was awoken by Jacob who threw up on my foot. I don’t understand how my foot seemed like a logical solution for him to vomit instead of, oh I don’t know, THE TOILET? Later that night, Eden Marie, still very much asleep, walked to the kitchen, opened up our brandnew dishwasher, pulled down her underwear and [...]
I’m Voting for Tina Fey 2008-10-14 15:35:13 What has bothered me the most during this entire Presidential Campaign are the emotions that get stirred up whenever you mention a candidate. I find it very distressing whenever I speak with a Republican or a Democrat. It is always shocking when I hear the hatred they have for the opposing candidate. While I personally think Obama isn’t confrotional and [...] Read more:Voting
Move Over Bob the Builder 2008-10-12 16:26:25 The kitchen project that was supposed to only take a week and ended up taking FOUR weeks…is almost complete. The sink and the dishwasher are now installed and one row of counter-tops are done. I’ve never been so excited to do laundry, cook for my family AND go to Sam’s Club for the bulk of [...] Read more:Builder
No title 2008-11-08 14:41:23 I am sitting on the couch with tears in my eyes. I have Eden Marie on my lap and we watch as Senator McCain asks his supporters to stand behind our new President.
I am listening to his words, hoping.
Hoping every American takes to heart what he is saying. I hope they put aside policies and [...]
Upset 2008-10-31 16:42:37 In the beginning of October, AOL sent an email saying they were shutting down the AOL Journal Community. I read it briefly and with the things going on in my life, scribbled OCTOBER 31st as the deadline to transfer four years worth of entries.
I screwed up big time.
October 31st was the date they shut down the community [...] Read more:Upset
Jacob: The Future President 2008-10-31 14:47:14 “Mom, I’ve decided I want to be just like Dad when I grow up.”
“Really? Why?”
“Because he’s so cool. He goes to work everyday and drinks beer. Sometimes eats beef jerky for dinner. I want to be like him.”
Silence.
He takes my silence for hurt and says, “Okay, I’ll be like you too. I’ll scream at my kids [...] Read more:Jacob

Jumping On The Tinsel and Merry Wagon 2008-11-26 08:55:19 I waited longer than most department stores, radio stations and most of my neighbors. I don’t like the Christmas atmosphere in October. I like to feel the mood…stretch it out and embrace the pilgrims and pumpkin pie.
But whatever. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and my blog is decorated for Christmas…TODAY. You’ve got four weeks of this ‘oh [...] Read more:Jumping

Somewhat of A Service Announcement 2008-11-24 11:09:43 I am trying to knock out a series of projects in a matter of weeks. I have a deadline with my editor on my manuscript, which has finally starting to go in the right direction. I have a mixture of emotions concerning this project. It is a book I am most proud of.

Uncertain Circumstances 2008-11-16 15:52:36 “Your circumstances does not bring or take away your joy.”
I’m sure there are a lot of people that can relate to sitting in church and feeling as if the preacher is speaking directly to them. This morning was one of those moments in which I wanted to yell out, “How did you know?”
