Jack : the college frat boy…

The other night, Noah spent the night with my parents. This is something that they all enjoy from time to time. Jack has never spent the night though. For a long time, we told him he had to use the potty all the time, and so that was that (especially since he potty trained late). [...]

Fabulous Finds Friday: A New Datebook!

I’ll admit it — I love organization. I love date books. I will also admit that I’m a horrible loser I am sometimes not that great about using them though. But, that doesn’t really matter, does it? I mean…I can still make a recommendation, and I’ll make it with a prayer that I will actually [...]

Update (sort of) on my under arm lump

Thanks for all the prayers about the under arm lump that I found. And — thanks to anyone that may have prayed that I didn’t look like an idiot with a pimple (LOL), because it was not a pimple. I saw the nurse practitioner a couple of days ago, and honestly — she had a [...]

WFMW: Creating a Family Budget

Okay…so here is my very first time participating in Works for Me Wednesday. I just have to share this budgetting tip for those of you out there that enjoy the computer as much as I do. I have tried budgetting before with a variety of methods, but knew using the computer would work best for [...]

I love this recipe! Know why that is? It is not only delicious, but it makes me feel like a grown up. Until I tried this recipe earlier this month, I had only ever made brownies from a box mix. I had no idea that it was just about as easy to make brownies from [...]

If I didn’t know better, I would think I was pregnant

And why is that, you might ask? Because, from midnight until 1 am today, I have cleaned my refrigerator. It was on my to do list, and I apparently just couldn’t have it on the to do list one more moment. I will be honest and admit that I don’t have a clear memory of [...]

How to get the attention of a nurse…

I found out what needs to be said to get the attention of a nurse. Apparently a person can call and tell a nurse that their five year old can’t sleep and is hallucinating, and is told to just keep giving the medication a try and come in a couple of weeks. But, you go [...]

Let’s See…Rule #13 in the Rule Book…

About two weeks ago, I was in a “mood,” as they say. A lot of it had to do with Jack and school. I had a note on a paper from his teacher that I possibly took the wrong way (though when I told others what it said, they took it the same way I [...]
