Picture this…

Scenario 1: “I’ve told you ten times to sit down!” (Snaps fingers) “focus!” “I said stop doing that!” “You can owe me your recess! I told you to get busy!” “No! You can’t leave the room again!” “Sit down and stop squirming!” “You’re not going anywhere until you finish!” Kid turns in work… (Scored aContinue reading “Picture this…”

Drop the Labels

Man! This word keeps coming back around in some way, shape, or form and I just can’t shake it! So here I am listening to my husband snore and typing out the importance that this word can hold–if we let it! I’d be willing to bet that, like me, you’ve been labeled! And no…..I don’tContinue reading “Drop the Labels”

Marriage–it isn’t always bliss

I’ve seen so many youngsters getting married here recently and like most people–it brings a smile to my face! I love seeing the love in the newly weds eyes, even if it it’s through pictures! I wish everyone of them nothing but joy and long lasting love! This May Ryan and I will celebrate ourContinue reading “Marriage–it isn’t always bliss”

When you’re misunderstood…

STORY OF MY LIFE! M.I.S.U.N.D.E.R.S.T.O.O.D I can’t put it any plainer or simpler!!! It doesn’t matter if I tell you a life story from my childhood, my tween years, my teenage years, young adult, or full blown adult (age 41), I have always FELT misunderstood! I literally could buy you pizza and beer just becauseContinue reading “When you’re misunderstood…”

Suicide-let’s raise awareness together

“I’m really worried. She’s locked herself in her room and is crying. I’m really scared that she’s is going to hurt herself. I dont know what to do, so I’m calling you.” These words will forever ring in the back of my head and there’s no erasing them! Why? Because they came from my ownContinue reading “Suicide-let’s raise awareness together”

When your voice is unheard…

I’ve always had a really big and loud personality! And I’ve never been one to stand back and hope to go unnoticed! Shocker, I know! And perhaps there have been times when I should have dialed down the attitude and the words that I’ve allowed to fly out of my mouth, especially when I’ve beenContinue reading “When your voice is unheard…”

Laugh often…

I had an impromptu trip to T town yesterday with one of my besties–I’m thankful to have a few! From the moment we left town we laughed nonstop! I cried one when we talked about Jesus, a little quiet when we talked about the stages/friendships of our kids, but then we laughed, ate, laughed, ateContinue reading “Laugh often…”

Life’s Too Short, Eat the Damn Cake

Oh my gosh! I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve passed on having dessert because I had myself convinced that I didn’t “need it”! But by golly, I’m so tired of using food as a reward or a discipline all for the sake of how I want OTHERS to see me! LikeContinue reading “Life’s Too Short, Eat the Damn Cake”

M.E.A.N Girls

If you’ve never watched the movie Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan, it’s worth you’re time, in my opinion! It’s a very disturbing movie, however, there is so much truth and honesty when it comes to how girls (and some women) interact with each other. Basically, it shows you how conniving females can be! What’s reallyContinue reading “M.E.A.N Girls”

–Tomorrow isn’t promised–

Does the title seem too obvious, considering it’s a well known fact? I mean, after all, we all know that we will die at some point, we just never know when! But if we know that, then why don’t we live life like that EVERY SINGLE DAY?!?! Why do we act the way we do,Continue reading “–Tomorrow isn’t promised–”
