… to me.
I had a good day, other than the fact that I had to work all day. Honestly I didn’t accomplish much anyway. I just wasn’t in a working mood. I had lunch with some friends from church and that made my day special. Shiloh and I spent our evening being lazy and watching [...]
Shiloh’s party was a hit. She loved it. The kids decorated guitars and the girls had makeovers (lip gloss, eye shadow, and glitter). Then they each posed for a “rock star” photo.
There were less kids than I was expecting because people kept cancelling. The flu seems to be going around and several of her friends, or [...]
Quick weekend recap:
My sister and brother-in-law were in town.
We had a girl’s night Saturday night.
Five women, two little girls, pizza, ice cream, a movie (don’t ask about the movie), and lots of talking.
You’re going to ask about the movie, aren’t you? …Okay, it was a documentary on midwives. I have some odd friends. My cousin [...]
Applying for financial aid. (a.k.a. Searching through piles of papers for tax records, etc.)
Stressing about the PRAXIS exam I’ll have to take to get in the education program. I’ve been out of school way too long!
Relearning Algebra before I start classes in the fall. (My brain is mush.)
Working on about ten loads of laundry. (You [...]
I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. I had Friday off and it was so nice to have a three day weekend!
My cousin’s first baby was born Friday morning.
This is Michael and baby Michael Aiden. It’s hard to believe my (little) cousin is a daddy. (We used to call him “Little Michael”.)
Friday evening Shiloh [...]
Last weekend it was just me and Shiloh at the house. We spent most of the morning being lazy.
Then Shiloh helped me wash my car.
In the afternoon we went to my cousin’s house and the girls played. This is Ashlynn and Shiloh walking down to the lake.
For more Wordless Wednesday go here. For more Wordful [...]
I’m exhausted! Busy busy weekend. My sister and brother-in-law were in town so of course I stayed up way too late every night. Saturday we spent the day with my parents and that evening my parents watched Shiloh while we went out.
It was my sister and BIL, my cousin and his wife, and another couple [...]
I’ve decided that the “perfect mom” is some mythical creature that no one has ever seen or can hope to become. Right up there with unicorns and elves and fairies. (Don’t tell Shiloh that fairies aren’t real. She’ll be heartbroken.)
The thing is, ever since Shiloh was born, I’ve been trying so hard to do everything [...]
So, it’s 1am and I’m not in bed. Don’t know why. I’m just not tired. (Bet I will be in the morning.) I thought I would bother you guys, since there’s nobody here to annoy (except Shiloh, but I wouldn’t dare wake her up).

I wish I had had my camera with me today when I [...]
The Prompts:
1.) Who really helped you get over something? Write about that person.
2.) Is plastic surgery an option? Without being vulgar, write about the body part still attached to you that you would most like to dis-attach and replace with a better one.
3.) Share an interesting email exchange you’ve had with someone lately.
4.) Have you [...]
I'm a single Christian mom just trying to find some order in the chaos between working full time, being a full time mother, and maybe finding time to wash my hair…
