I've been thinking a lot about social media and such, and I've decided to stop posting so much on Facebook and Instagram and start posting more on here. I find myself trying to think of clever things or pictures I can post to get likes and comments all day. Then, when I don't get as many as I think it should've gotten, I feel bummed. So it's ( Read more... )

I don't really have anything of importance to write, but I felt like writing, and since I don't get that feeling too often, I figured I better act on it ( Read more... )

One day last week, I had made some appointments to visit a few ladies from church. I planned ahead and arranged places for my kids to be. Thankfully, two ladies in my neighborhood were willing to keep them for me. (I really love my neighborhood, y'all.) So I got the kids ready to go in plenty of time and drove over to the first friend's house ( Read more... )

Today I was having a conversation with my sister-in-law Anna, and I said, "You know what will probably make the hugest difference on Obama's decisions about gun control? All the posts about it on Facebook. I'm pretty sure he checks all of them before he makes ANY decisions." She reminded me of this meme,

The last couple of days my children have asked me to read Mr Brown Can Moo, Can You? by Dr. Seuss. It's pretty fun, and it gets pretty silly which is why the kids like it ( Read more... )

One night on our trip, we decided to leave our kids in the capable hands of baby-sitters (aka: the older grandkids), and we went out to eat with Andrew's siblings and their spouses. About halfway through the meal, I decided I needed to use the restroom ( Read more... )

Being the mother of small children, I've become an expert on noticing the peepee dance. My kids will be busy playing, and I'll see them wiggling around, so I tell them to go to the bathroom. They argue with me every time, but I'm always right. Mommy knows ( Read more... )

I just spent the last forever putting this together to submit to Failbook, and their uploader is messing up! Argh! I'm posting it here, so at least SOMEONE will see my efforts.

Also, it's hilarious. I love people. :)

My brother has recently found out that he has Polycystic Kidney Disease. In case you didn't know, that's the same disease my mom had, and my sister has it, too. My mother's father had it and died because of it. My uncle Sammy also has it. It's a stupid disease, and I hate it. So much ( Read more... )
