Take Me Out to the Ball Game…
I may have mentioned before that I am not real good with sports. I ran track and cross country in high school, and I dated a couple of football players. That’s the extent of my sports knowledge and ability. But I’m learning fast. My kids are sports nuts. So we’ve played basketball for two seasons, […]
Depressed
This is turning out to be a pretty unpleasant week. I didn’t sleep well Sunday night or Monday night … partly because it’s so very hot, and partly because the offspring keep coming in to tell me they’re having nightmares. Tomorrow I have to go to the doctor, and I know he’s going to make […]
The Irony of Life’s Juxtapositions
Tonight started visitation for the kids, so I was on my own for supper and after. I have many, many things to do this weekend; foremost among the items on the list is writing the articles to complete my April quota. Anyway, so I decided to go out for supper, so I wouldn’t have to […]
What a Weekend!
I got a lot done — not everything I wanted, but a lot. And I’m coming to the realization that I probably have far too optimistic an expectation of what I can get done in one weekend. LOL. Bit slow, huh? I got four articles written and submitted to the website I write for. I’ll […]
Kids Do the Weirdest Things
There was a thunderstorm in my area last night, and my oldest son came into my room and got in the bed because he was scared. No problem. I comforted him and rolled over to go back to sleep. About 2:30 a.m., I rolled over and half-woke. Suddenly, my son slapped me. It was one […]
It’s Too Dang Hot!
I really, really do not want to turn on my air conditioner yet. I usually don’t turn it on until around May 1. And that isn’t usually a hardship. But right now, it’s torture. Or rather close. The weather has been in the high 80s this week, and is expected to hit, or surpass, 90 […]
Planning for the Weekend
I have a lot of things to accomplish this weekend. I have some herbs and seeds to plant, and some flowerbeds to weed. I have a house to tidy up. I have articles to write — I need to finish 20 of them by the end of the month. I have taxes to do, and […]
Wifely Submission
Just a few things that I really think it’s important that people think of when looking at this issue. One thing I’ve recently learned that adds a whole new dimension to what I’m going to say about submission is that God’s purpose for marriage was companionship. Not procreation, not sexual gratification, but companionship. God looked […]
A Busy, Busy Week
I’ll be posting sporadically this week, as the schedule is so full. I have work every day, of course, and rehearsals for the Broadway revue every night. My mom is keeping the kids all day (from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.), and I run in and out at lunch- and supper-time to kiss the boys […]
My First Weekend as a Single
It may sound strange, but this past weekend was my first weekend as a single since my divorce three and a half years ago. The ex finally got his dearest wish and got the supervision clause stricken from the visitation schedule. So the kids left my house at 8 on Saturday morning and didn’t come […]
