A few weeks ago, the hubs and I went to Missouri on what the company calls a “predetermination trip”, which basically means that we went to the area and checked it out before the hubs accepted the position. We were in the Cape Girardeau/Jackson area and absolutely fell in love. Never have I seen a…
Congratulations to the Newest P&G Manager {In the Family Room}
Today the hubs is officially a manager at Proctor & Gamble. And the kids and I couldn’t be prouder of him and his accomplishments. When the hubs and I got out of the Army 15 years ago, we didn’t know what we were going to do or how we were going to support ourselves, the…
There’s No Place Like Home
Oh, Dorothy, truer words have never been spoken… We finally made it home at 9:45 last night. To read the beginning of this journey, go here, I’ll wait… Well, no, we made it to Wilkes~Barre, Pennsylvania at 9:45, we didn’t make it to our house until after 10:30. Yes, a journey that started at 6…
Oh the Places We Won’t Go
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that the hubs and I have been having a heck of a time getting back home to Pennsylvania… Right now, as I type this, we are stuck in the inner thigh of airports ~ Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. I know, right? Look at me blogging from the…
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…
There Shall be No More Weeping…
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. I apologize for not posting this sooner but I’m with family and friends who have gathered to say “good bye” to my aunt, Sylvia,…
Happy Mother’s Day
This morning my kids did something they’ve never done before ~ they made me breakfast. In bed. I got up because I heard Squeekerz scratching at my door, not because he really wanted to be in my room but because he wanted to be away from the kids. Have I mentioned that our dog hates…
Loose Threads and Other Random Thoughts
1. That’s me with Miss 17. I’m so incredibly proud of her. I’m also slowly but surely preparing myself to let go as she prepares to go to college. I will not cry. On Friday, she and I hung out and did a bit of shopping, eating and talking. Seeing my daughter grow from a…
Loose Threads and Other Random Thoughts
Weekends in my house tend to be quiet. The kids usually go and stay with my mother~in~law pretty much from the minute they step off the bus until we force ask them to come home. And the hubs either works, races or hangs out with his friends so I’m pretty much left to my own devices,…
Family Movie Night: Change of Plans
Has your life worked out the way you planned? I know mine sure didn’t. When I was younger, I thought I’d graduate from high school, go to college and begin a career as a globe~trotting journalist or spy. Instead, I graduated from high school, joined the Army, got married, had 4 children and became a…
