  • My friend had been waiting for the return of her son, Pat, from Iraq.  Well, I’ve received word that he’s finally home!  Please rejoice with us. Thank you, God, for bringing Pat safely home to his loved ones.  I know his Mama is very relieved to hold him in her arms. 

  • All I could hear was running water and the pitter patter of feet running back and forth.  I couldn’t imagine what was going on downstairs.  I just knew it was not good.  Here’s what happens when you cover your eyes with a baby blanket to block out light due to a pounding headache and end…

  • An iPod Nano is what they’re giving away.  And, it comes wrapped in a beautiful box with chocolate.  Go and enter!! ETA:  I’ve placed the button on my left sidebar.  It takes you to the website.  There are more contests than this one!

  • That’s what I’ve been doing since I went to bed.  Tossing and turning, just on the edge of sleep.  Then, finally, I heard it.  This is why I couldn’t sleep, I guess.  The coughing that sounds like, you got it, throwing up.  Luckily, Brother threw up mostly on the car rug near his bed.  Unfortunately,…

  • Military wives (yes, there are military husbands, but I don’t know many and they’re usually both in the military) usually complain that things break down the minute the husbands are in the field, TDY (temporary duty which is equivalent to a business trip) or deployed.  I guess since I take care of all that anyway…

  • That’s how much hair was cut…initially. If you take a look at my sidebar, I’ve finally added a picture.  That’s how short my hair is now.  The people who come around and sweep the hair up came around about 6-7 times.  I have a lot of hair.  The hairdresser was joking that I had dulled…

  • We attended the baptism of a lovely lady, Madelyn Marie.  She was beautiful and was so peaceful throughout the ceremony.  The other children all behaved their absolute best.  Another of my friends attended just one week after the birth of her little one, Grace Marie.  I know the ladies of the Magnum Opus group have…

  • This is my Honey: See that sweet face?  Well, hidden under that hair are her devilish horns.  This child can cause mischief.  Tonight was no exception–as we like to say, "She needs to retract those horns."  After doing the millionth thing to aggravate her baby sister, Honey was sent to bed without a bedtime story. …

  • Lately, my son has been a challenge.  I know his needs are changing and that it’s a sign that he’s growing.  I’m pleased with it, but now I’m at a loss as to how to deal with his needs.  His impulsivity is out of hand.  I’ve tried everything I can think of.  It’s not working. …

  • Apparently, there’s quite an uproar over the August issue of Babytalk magazine.  I like this magazine because it gives such wonderful advice especially for the new mother.  It’s also great because it’s free.  I think the picture is beautiful and not at all sexual.  I cannot believe people would consider that gross.  It’s just a…
