I had the worst time getting to sleep last night, so I ended up crashing on the couch. Mama and Daddy had decided to celebrate our family Christmas on Christmas eve, rather than Christmas day. We usually go to my Memaw’s house on Christmas morning and go to my Nanny’s [...]

Friday — December 18, 2009
This morning got off to a rough start, beginning with stepping out of a cozy warm house into the cold, stiff leather seats of my car. I had forgotten to heat the car up, and I have officially promised myself never to forget again.
Turns out, in order for me [...]

Well I have to admit, teaching is a lot of fun. I threw on a hoodie and grabbed my cup of hot apple cider as I made my way out the door at seven-thirty this morning. The kids had that oh-so-familiar sleepy look on their faces, the kind that makes [...]

Whew! It’s been a crazy two days!
Today, I babysat the boys. I got so much accomplished before the girls got home from school. I was able to get some laundry out of the way and then noticed the old Sarah’s Daughter’s cookbook lying on the kitchen counter. It had [...]

Most Sundays, Andrea tiptoes into my room and shakes me awake. Eleven minutes later, we’re freezing our way across campus to breakfast, teeth chattering and singing “Son, it’s cold!”. We shuffle across the parking lot and through the breezeway remarking how awful we must look with our semi-sleepy faces, bed-head hairdo’s and big sweatshirts [...]

Well, I’ve almost finished up day two. The only thing left for me to do is get to bed and somehow get a decent night’s sleep. Last night I finished organizing a few things and then decided to go to bed around ten o’clock. Well, the bed was just as soft [...]

This morning we threw a load of laundry in and headed over to the college. I had prepared myself for this all weekend, so I walked through the door with my head held high and ready for whatever lay ahead of me.
I got my key from Ms. Bradanick, the Dean of [...]

Wow, its Saturday already! And not only is it Saturday, its also August 15th. I’m trying to figure out just where all my time has flown to. Just last week, my cousin remarked “I don’t know where time has gone, but I think I’d like to go there.” My sentiments exactly!
I’ve [...]
A Summer Day

This morning I got up before the rest of my family, had time to do my devotions and get my day started before they got up. After finishing up a few things I took a book and some VBS work out to the back patio for awhile. Then, realizing suddenly that I had been very [...]
Ode to the Sun . . .

A friend of mine emailed me today, slightly frustrated at her countless attempts to get a nice Suntan with NO results. Her little sisters, as you will soon hear about, have no trouble tanning in the slightest. The problem? The fact that they don’t care if they’ve got nice tans or not; they’re out [...]
