For The Birds
Once again, let me just say, this empty nest thing… it’s for the birds. I’m over it. Time for a recall! I need my kids to move home. Oh, they don’t have to live with me, or even live in the same town! My dream would be within an or two so that I could... Continue Reading →

Is this really even fair?
Ok, So I don't even think this is fair. First, we have the raging hormones during pregnancy and now as they are getting ready to fly the coop, we have the raging hormones of menopause or perimenopause. What's the deal?? Can't we catch a break here? I guess it's just all part of motherhood and... Continue Reading →
It’s a long hard day…
Yep... this is my day... well inside anyway. I'm working hard on not letting it show but when she played the piano and started singing? Waaa.... how will I ever make it through church tomorrow? And preaching at that! Ok, deep breaths... and go take your St. John's Wort NOW!
