After Shocks

So . . . I haven’t been around lately, at all. Not on Facebook, not really on Twitter and definitely not here. And I’ve missed it all. But something more pressing has been keeping me occupied, and once it was under control, well I’d kind of lost my mojo. Again. You all know that all [...]

Growing Up

Violet left for Bible camp on Monday afternoon — for a week. I was worried and didn’t think she was ready to go, it turns out I was the one who wasn’t ready. She was vibrating with excitement and anticipation for weeks before hand and couldn’t even sit still the day we dropped her off. [...]

Going Old School

So. Violet, Sarah and I are battling lately. This is getting to be old, hearing me say this, right? I’ve allowed them to become very disrespectful of my husband and myself. So much so that two people have commented on it. You have no idea how humiliating that is. But I had no idea on [...]

Another Year, Another Dance Recital. *happy sighs*

Violet and Sarah had their dance recital on Saturday and Sunday. And my two favorite dancers danced. I mean, my two favorite dancers besides my girls. Josh and Ryan danced — be still my 39 year-year-old-mother-of-three-they-are-20-years-old heart – they danced.They graduated you see, so I don’t get to see them anymore. That is very sad [...]

Target and Kids: It’s An Odessy

It’s Summer. . .

Which means Violet is 9 today. And officially in the 4th grade. Sarah is officially in the 1st grade. And John is officially a kindergartner. And I am officially old and living in some sort of weird time warp. Because I’m absolutely positive that just yesterday John was born, Sarah was 15 months old and [...]

Violet, Oh, Violet

For the past week Violet has been rattling my brain and testing every parenting skill I have — small as they may be. On Monday night she had a softball game – and it turns out that this year Violet is quite good at softball (she’s also the oldest on her team . . .).  I was home [...]

Because I Was Judgey . . .

I’ve mentioned before that I was all judgey  about bras and third graders here. And then here I mentioned how God has a sense of humor because Violet needs one. Well today we are going to buy one. It’s true. My first born baby and I are going to the mall and shopping for a [...]
