It has definitely been longer than a week. I need to make a stronger effort to write. It seems I only get the time to write on my iPad now and typing on this thing is a pain!I shall try to make it work. It is Sunday and I believe this used to be "Poetry" day. I have not written anything creative in so long. I start things in my head but never committ them to paper. Something else I need to

It's a new year and I'm going to try and make a new go of it here on my blog. I am pledging to write at least three times a week. I hope that I will do better than that. I have come a long way in a year; the last time I posted. I don't think I am "lost" anymore. I am reading again. I have even been invited to join two different book clubs. My friendships have become a little deeper and I don't

I am coining a new phrase: "Lost Mom". Definition: A mom who has lost that which made her "her" due to the daily demands of motherhood.I think I am a Lost Mom. I think all the time about what I would like to do and wonder why I don't do it anymore...and then I go back to doing whatever it is I was doing before I had the thought. And if you understood that, then kudos to you!I feel like that I

Sorry no poetry today!Took the girls on a weekend adventure. We left Friday around noon (the girls had a snow day) for Columbus. Brad and I had booked a room at the indoor water park called Fort Rapids. We had spent a good wile of Thursday evening reading the reviews on this water ranch and we were a little apprehensive about what we might find. The reviews were overall good, but there were a few

What is going on in Hollywood these days? It seems to me that the studios today are going for quantity and not quality. They suck in the masses with their flashy previews full of promises of great action, high drama, suspense...and then fail to deliver the goods. I swear I am so sick of sitting down to watch a movie and then half way through being so disappointed that it doesn't even bother me

Well, I was doing really well. Posted 3 days in a row and then it hit me...the January we got too much snow on the ground and I been in the house with my kids for four days in a row blues. Just got a case of the winter blahs. They come and go with me. I just need a good long day in the sunshine.Everyone is better now. No more sickness.

Have had two bouts of sickness this weekend. Friday night Lyanna was up til 4am losing it out both ends. Lovely... Last night Kenzie came into our room around 2am crying and saying she had a bad dream. I let her get in bed with me and she was burning up. Took her temp and it was 103.4. Poor thing, no wonder she had a bad dream. Gave her some Motrin and a cool washcloth for her forehead and

I've been reading through this blog and refreshing my memory on what I had been doing before. There are a couple of things I'd like to start doing again.1. Flashback Friday2. Poetry Sunday3. Food ThursdayAt least that will give me three solid topics to write about on those days. Maybe. Ha! I seem to have a bad record of not keeping up with what I say I want to do....best laid plans and

Happy New Year: 2011!So far it has been kinda bleh. Gotta talk about my Arkansas Razorbacks.Arkansas played Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl this year. It was Arkansas' first BCS bowl. Needless to say Brad and I were really excited about the game. Brad even went down to New Orleans for the game. Unfortunately, I had to stay up here in Ohio with the girls. We didn't have anyone for them to stay

It's getting to be more of an enjoyment again. I am starting to feel the urge to write. Maybe it's the sunshine making me feel better, I dunno.My uncle that I talked about last time passed away that Friday evening. He lived a great life. Was in full control of himself and had all his marbles when he passed. (Although some would question that later, we did call him "crazy Uncle Joe") We all

Today has been a strange day. Three things going on in my life today. All of them centered around hospitals.Brad hurt his knee about a month ago. Never knew what he really did or when exactly, just woke up the day after our Mardi Gras party and couldn't walk. Ended up he had a torn miniscus...had to have outpatient surgery today to take care of it. He was not too thrilled about the whole

I am wearing blue eyeshadow today. And it's sparkly! Now some of you wouldn't think that was anything out of the ordinary. So what, who cares what color eyeshadow you wear. Well, a lot of folks would say that blue is soooo 80's. They wouldn't be caught dead wearing blue.I don't care. I say bring back the 80's!

My friend contacted me over Facebook today and wanted to know when I was going to start blogging again. I told her I didn't know. I wasn't enjoying writing anymore right now. It doesn't bring me the joy that it used to bring. I can't really explain it to anyone. I like to write and I miss it, but the effort it takes to work writing into my daily madness of children, snow, dogs, dinners,

We have had an eventful week this past week. Lyanna came home from church last week and went right to bed with 102 degree fever. Welcome to the swine flu in Ohio... She ran fever for 5 days straight. It peaked on Thursday...up to 104.5 or so had to put her in a cold tub and cool her off. It's sad when you are happy your kids temp is 102. After the bath her temp came down to normal and then

Brad's friend Rich is here from South Carolina. They were big buds in college. Rich met us down in Dallas when we went to the A&M game two weekends ago. They are sitting in front of the jukebox picking songs to listen to...right now it's "Destination Unknown" by Missing Persons. The song before was "Crazy Train" by Ozzy of course...see what I mean about crazy music. Now we have "Shout at the

It has been a bleah weekend. Friday I had my carpets cleaned. Got up early and took Lyanna to school. Went to take Kenzie to lunch so we would be out of the way, and got rear-ended. It was a three car accident, I was in the front. Dude in a truck hit the car behind me, car behind me ran up under my van. I am fine, Kenzie is fine, van is okay...a little bit of body work will have to be done. My

It is 9pm. I am sitting down in the basement with Brad while he watches a really bad movie and drinking a shot of Maker's Mark. Yes, it was that crazy of a night. If it wasn't raining I would be out in the hot tub. I don't know why bathtime/bedtime has to be so difficult sometimes. It's like the girls just want to do the opposite of everything they are told. I think they just get so tired

Lots to talk about today.1st think on my mind tonight. When did everyone become so absorbed in their own little worlds that they can do whatever they want and get pissed off when they get caught not following the rules? My husband says all the time to folks: "Oops sorry, I crossed into your world." I swear I have had at least 6-10 people just run redlights and/or stop signs and about plow into me

Watching movies tonight. Watched "Monsters vs. Aliens" with the girls earlier. It was really cute, Brad thought Susan was sexay for a kids movie. Now watching "Rudi". Believe it or not, I haven't watched this movie before. It's amazing what this guy did. Had a good day today. Got up around 8am took Lyanna to school, went to McD's with Kenzie and hung out with some of my awesome "mom"

My friend Leahe keeps asking me: "When are you going to blog again? I miss reading your stuff." So, I came back here and did some reading of my old posts. Even the post right before this one...I read them and I think to myself, "Who is that person?" I seem so angry in that last post...sheesh, it was only band-aids.

We had a good ole southern crawfish boil/ Mardi Gras Party last night. It was a lot of fun. We had 15 people over and boiled almost 40lbs of mudbugs. I do believe everyone had some, even if it was just a little nibble.Along with the crawfish we also had: fried alligator, andouille sausage, tamales(I know that sounds strange but the place we ordered everything from sent them), and crawfish pie.

So, I thought I would share this little antedote about Kenzie with you all. Yesterday, when I went to the store, I thought I would be super cool mommy and get the girls some new band-aids. I bought a box of Littlest Pet Shop and a box of Hello Kitty.When Kenzie saw the Littlest Pet Shop band-aids she went crazy! She was so excited about them. She wanted one on RIGHT THEN!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. We did our usual....exchanged cards and gifts then took the girls out to dinner. Kenzie wanted to go to "Mex-tico" so that's what we did.After dinner we went to the pet store to get her a new fish. Sadly, her goldfish died last week and we promised her we'd get her a new fish on Val's day. Last year we ended up getting a dog on Valentine's so...I think a fish is

I once read a short story in Dr. Story's (yes my all time favorite professor was an English Prof. named Dr. Story) class at Hendrix about two women who lived in the Mountains somewhere and would get snowed in every winter. They would open their home up to stranded people and sometime during the long cold winter months they would get "cabin fever" - not to mention run out of food - and they would

I have been seriously reading again. My husband thinks I'm crazy the way I read. I read two, three, sometimes four books at a time. He doesn't understand how I can go back and forth between them. I don't know how I do it, I just do it.I never finished the Gunslinger books by Stephen King so this summer I decided to go back to the beginning and read them all.

Took the girls to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua yesterday. We usually go to the library for "story time" on Wednesdays but the library was closed for in service.

One of the things that I did during my long hiatus from the blog world was attend my 20 year class reunion.Now I have to say I did go to the 10 year and it was the pits for me. I was in a horrible place in my life at that time. It was right before I asked for my divorce. I was not a happy person at that time. The 10 year was just what everyone always says it is....a "look at me and what I have

At the time I had a 15 month old and an almost 3 month old....hard to believe.I was still struggling terribly with post-partem anxiety, and started blogging to try and do a little cathartic writing. It seemed to have helped.I've learned alot about myself, others, and blogging in these 3

This year Kenzie turned 4 and Lyanna turned 3. I like to let them pick their birthday theme so when the birthday magazine came in I let them look through it and tell me what they liked. Kenzie wanted Spiderman or Star Wars...Lyanna wanted Hello Kitty.... Not a good combination. We managed to find a compromise: Scooby Doo.I found a place here that rented a Scooby Doo jump around. I made a Scooby

Told ya I was gonna post. Not much happening today. It was a beautiful day, temps in the 70's.Was awakened this morning by my 4 year old. She gets up almost every morning at 7 am and crawls into bed with me to snuggle. It is a most awesome way to greet the day. My 3 year old isn't too far behind...but when she gets in the bed it's play time. Was in such a good mood this morning I made pancakes

Yep, I'm writing again. I have decided in my efforts to keep from totally losing my sanity in the crazy ass world we live in, I NEED to express myself through writing. It is an outlet for me...so, I am going to put aside 15 minutes each day to try and get something blogged here for anyoone who happens to be around.We had an AWESOME Halloween party Friday night.

Everyone say hello to Carly. "Life According to Carly Q". Her blog is now listed in my roll.She's another mommy trying her best in this crazy world of parentdom and recently started blogging. She so kindly found this blog o' mine and made some nice comments. :)I think she is a great addition.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! Expect more that sucks....So...Kenzie has pink eye. I knew that was what she had Saturday. Luckily the doctor gave me extra drops the last time she had pink eye so I started giving her the drops Saturday night.Tonight I start feeling like my eyes are itchy and I think "oh great, I'm getting pink eye now too".. the doc told me last time if I felt like I was getting it to

We went to Florida this year for our July vacation. Found a lovely area not overdeveloped. We had a nice quiet beach house with white sand on the ocean. Loved It!! Built two awesome sandcastles..at least we think they were. Here are our two efforts. :)This first one is more of a traditional castle...a moat around the towers, bridge to the castle, open center for the girls to put their toys in.

Sunday used to be poetry day. I think I shall try that again. I like poetry, I like to read it, I like to share it, and sometimes I even think that I can write it...Looking foward to the next few months and my favorite time of year...a haiku.

Well, it has been a looong day. The girls go to their new "school" on Tuesdays so I had the day to myself...sort of. After a bazillion gallons of rain turned our back yard into a muddy mountain, the landscapers decided to dig in anyway. We have a few strips of grass left back there. They made a dirt road down the side of the yard for the bobcat to carry the many loads of brick down. I do have

Got this from Ian at Perpetual Writer's Block...The Big Read, an initiative by the National Endowment for the Arts, has estimated that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed. How do you do?1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.2) Italicize those you intend to read.3) Underline ( I just changed the color) the books you LOVE.1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane

Okay, I was all ready to put up my pictures of THE PROJECT and get to blogging again, but of course things never go as planned.Since I wiped my laptop clean, I've had to put all my programs back on.

Sore throat, fever, coughing, aches, pounding heard, congestion, runny nose...My poor legs hurt so bad the other night, it was like someone had beaten me up.

I used to be a real movie buff. There weren't too many movies that I hadn't seen..even the very off the wall independent type ones. There are some movies that didn't get great reviews or didn't do well at the box office, but I LOVE to watch them. They don't suck. At least in my opinion.....as much as that counts. My husband doesn't share the same taste in movies that I do, so my viewing has

I feel that I need to make some things known about the story "Bats". From the comments I have received from all of you, I have come to the conclusion many of you believe the story to be one of fact.It is in "fact" a story of fiction. Yes, I did take those photos, and yes those are three foot bats....give or take an inch or two. They do reside in the Asian or African exhibit at the Colombus Zoo,

I've been so busy with family lately, as it should be at times. But, the hubby went to TN for the weekend and I have a little quiet alone time. I will try my best to finish the story of the bats. I only hope that some of the people who read the

I have a couple of cool pictures for today's word: Bat This one was hanging right outside my front door...you can see the doorknob just to the left of his wing.....biggest dang thing I've ever seen. I woke up in the morning, got my cup of coffee and started to step outside the door to see what kind of day it was and lo' and behold there he was. He was hanging by one foot on the left-over

Oh yeah, I went and saw Van Halen in Cleveland, Wednesday night!! It was AWESOME!! Another band that I never thought I would get to see together again in my lifetime. Eddie Van Halen is AMAZING on guitar. Probably the best guitarist I've ever seen/heard in person. He rocked on "Eruption"...just unbelievable.And yes DAVID LEE ROTH is back! *Van Halen with Sammy Hagar and that other guy from

The word for today is: ORANGE I am currently working on teaching my 2 and 3 year olds their colors. Now the 3 year old pretty much has the basics down. She knows the colors and can point to them and tell you what they are....she has no clue about letters and numbers, but by golly she knows the colors. The 2 year old knows the color pink. That's about it. BUT...she can tell you what every

I haven't done a Flashback Friday in a long time. The reason behind that being: no one has given me any dates to flashback to. So.....I decided to revamp the idea. I've noticed a lot of bloggers have Photo Friday. I didn't want to really copy that, but I'll take it a little further and combine the two. I will now have Flashback Photo Friday. I promise, to the best of my ability, to have some sort

My 3 year old was still sleeping in her crib until this week. She finally figured out she could climb out of the bed. Everytime she climbed out she went wandering around the house. The wandering wouldn't have been so bad if she could keep crap out of her mouth.....which for some reason she can't. I had to call the stupid poison control because she tried to brush her teeth with acne medicine....

I guess what immediately comes to mind when I hear or see the word "clue" is, of course, the board game. I spent many a rainy afternoon or late night playing this game with my friends and/or family. I liked being Professor Plum...I think because the piece was purple, and he looked smart on the picture....My mom was always Ms. Scarlett..wonder what that says about her personality?

I have never really blogged yet about how my husband and I met and eventually ended up getting married. I think it is a great story to share and I don't know why I haven't talked about it til now....it fits in well with Faith. It took a lot of faith for both of us to get where we are today. I had been divorced just under three years. I had been dating off and on, only one person seriously...but

Once upon a time there was a small frog who lived in a pond in the middle of a large open field. There wasn't really anything special about this frog. He had been an average tadpole. Sure it had taken him a little longer than the other tads to completely lose his tail, but eventually it had disappeared. He had to endure some teasing from the other froglets for it, but nothing out of the ordinary.

This is too funny not to share. We took the girls to the Aquatic Center the other day. It was their first time to go anywhere like that and we were curious as to how they would react.Lyanna LOVED it. She never wanted to get out of the water and she got pissed if you tried to hold her and keep her afloat. She had a blast. Kenzie...well, I'll let you see for yourself (it is translated below): "
