It turns out there’s no homerun in football, and there is even less humor when the game is on. I have never been a football fan. If my husband wanted to watch his favorite college team – the Auburn Tigers – then he had to go to his dad’s or a friend’s house. Football was…
My kids are going to lose my weight for me. The diets haven’t worked. The exercise videos still sit calmly in their wrappers. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s time to make my kids take some action. It’s not as bad as it sounds. I’ll be doing the hard work; they’ll just be riding…
Dare to be peculiar because you aren’t made to be like anyone else, so you might as well embrace it. “You’re not normal.” The anesthetist had known me all of twenty minutes, and this is what she had to say. When my regular doctor joined the party, I told him about her comments. He GRINNED….
Being a good wife is not as difficult as it may seem. You can be the super-mom, loving wife, and all-around perfect woman with just a few key ideas in your arsenal. It’s that simple. Sure, you have to live with a husband, put up with the kids, and find a way to juggle sensuality…
It’s not easy being a good wife, especially when you have a husband to contend with. There are just days when his plan and my plan don’t ever mesh. At that point, I can throw a fit and quit or just “back up and punt.” Having grown up in a house full of men, no…
Today I experienced a serious case of deja vu. I was working at my computer, having spent the day with the hubby looking for a building for our next venture, when he walks in and sets some library books on my desk. The one on top sent a shiver up my spine. “I’ve been here…
Make good choices. It’s the declaration I give my children when they leave. It should be the one I give myself when I leave as well. Good choices require consistent focus, and I don’t always have the consistency necessary to make things right. It’s amazing how the moment you think you have it all together,…
The reality of church is that the church is not what it was designed to be. I’m disillusioned, disappointed, or else just plain disgusted. I haven’t quite worked out the semantics yet. The only thing I know for sure is that I’m not happy with our current organized religious situation. Maybe it is the unpleasant…
There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done. I can start out with all of the good intentions – usually, I get breakfast and maybe lunch done – but sooner or later the sky starts falling. I’ve decided that it is partly due to me getting up before sunrise….
I need to break the money control on my life. No matter how much money I put in my account, there never seems to be any money in my account. I think there is a hole in my bank account. Every month my job says the check goes to the bank. The bank statement even…
