reading time: 2 minutes Note to self,… A mug resembling a pumpkin may be cute, but may not be the easiest thing from which to drink the blood of life without dribbling. Yes, I learned that this morning. Fortunately, I managed to just dribble down the chin and not on the clothes! I bought […]
reading time: < 1 minute Happy birthday, Ty-man! My baby is 6 years old today, although it definately doesn’t seem possible! I still remember the day I had him like it was yesterday. I was scheduled to be induced at 0600, so at 0530 I was at my girl Stacy’s front door with Scotty so […]
reading time: 3 minutes Every year, this day is bittersweet for me. On one hand, it is my son Donovan’s birthday. But on the other hand, it is the anniversary of a dark day in American history. I was still a soldier then, on active duty at Fort Lee, VA. I will never forget […]
reading time: < 1 minute School days = 8 hours of quiet! Back to days of waking up at the butt crack of dawn!! The alarm was set for 0530, an hour that I can’t seem to shake, despite years out of the Army! But I, of course, woke up at 0445 and couldn’t fall […]

reading time: < 1 minute This is what happens when the big brother gets made the slave of the little brother! Which, in turn, means Mama gets the camera out to document the weirdness! As always, clickable for larger pics and captions. And a pic of His Royal Highness, as I found him this […]
reading time: 3 minutes My kindergarten graduate! I am so glad there is waterproof mascara, because I SO needed it for graduation! It wasn’t just a kindergarten ceremony this year; they had a “moving on” ceremony for the 5th graders because they are all headed to the Middle School next year. So the littles […]
reading time: < 1 minute Corey called last night and also sent me some pics from Afghanistan! There are some from the trip over and several from FOB Shank. He got some GORGEOUS pics of the sunsets. They are all in my “camou stuff” pages in the menu, HERE! Enjoy! rate this post
reading time: 2 minutes It’s Monday and I have coffee. Thank the Goddess. It has been one of those weekends when sleep and I weren’t even in the same house, much less the same page or even the same book. Sleep stood outside my bedroom window for most of the weekend, laughing and pointing at me […]
