Loose Threads and Random Thoughts
I promise I haven’t given up writing for capturing souls with that magic box, it’s just that I’ve been busy taxiing kids, touring Missouri and trying to keep all the other knives that I juggle up in the air. Really, motherhood is not easy. 1. I’ve been in Missouri since Thursday ~ flew in first class… So. Much. Leg. Room. Our flight attendant was hilarious, swore up and down people tell him he looks like Denzel Washington. Ummm, he was about 5′ 8″ and balding. But he made me laugh. 2. I finally got to see my sister’s baby for the first time in 8 months. Ohmygosh, talk about heart…

Crazy Days of Summer: Water
JOIN ME FOR SHOE STYLE SATURDAY It’s a fun meme all about shoes. For more information, click here. Frances Slocum State Park A few weeks ago, the hubs suggested that we drive to the lake and take some pictures. This was one of the best ideas he’d had in a long time. The lake was incredibly beautiful and watching people fish was relaxing. Huntsville Dam This dam is about 300 feet from my house. Hard to believe something so beautiful can be so dangerous. A few years ago, it burst and we were evacuated from our homes at 2 something in the morning. Hard part? Remembering to take the necessities and…

Advice for Miss 17 Upon Her Graduation
For 17 years, you’ve listened to my “Dos” and “Don’ts”. You’ve shrugged me off at times and, at others, you’ve nodded and agreed. I’ve shared my struggles of single motherhood with you. Walking miles in the hot Louisiana sun because I didn’t have a car or the money for a taxi, just to get you from the babysitter’s house. We’ve grown from a team of two to a family of seven. You must of have known that Dad was the man for us, you loved him from the start. So much has happened in the seventeen years that we’ve shared this journey together… A few days ago, I…

Shoe Style Saturday
I like trendy things but as a mother of four teenagers who are always eating, I don’t have the money nor the inclination to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of thong sandals. So I was happy when I saw these little bronze cuties as Dollar General the other day. They cost $4!!!! They may not last me for years like some of my other shoes, heck, they may not even last me the summer but they’re cute and comfortable and I’m going to enjoy wearing them with my peasant skirts for as long as I can. What trend would you like to try this summer? To participate in…

Biggest Loser Pound for Pound Challenge
Trying. To. Pull. Up. My. Jeans. And it just ain’t happening... I’m finally too big to fit in my “fat jeans”. Yesterday, I had to pull out 5 pairs of jeans before I found a pair that fit comfortably enough that I could sit through an 8 hour shift at the library. I’ve written about my struggles with my weight before on this blog, so it’s no secret that I’m about twenty pounds overweight. Seriously, I weigh more now than I did when I was pregnant with my twins. I really need to do something and stick to it. I’ve tried other weight loss tricks strategies programs before but I…

Switched at Birth: What Would You Do?
Did you watch Switched at Birth? The show premiered Monday night on ABC Family. Seriously, ABC Family has been airing some pretty decent shows. I hope this show finds the same success as The Secret Life of the American Teenager because this show has real potential. It stars D.W. Moffett and Lea Thompson as John and Kathryn Kennish who find out that their daughter was switched at birth with the daughter of Regina Vasquez, played by Constance Marie. The first episode centered around the families getting to know each other and the girls trying to find their place within their new families. At several points, the Kennishes push the boundaries and occasionally…
