Being from a small town, everyone knew my family and that was not a good thing. The whole town was quite aware my mom and dad were drunks . Going to school  made [...]

Let Me Out of Here!!!!!!

July 20, 2009

This past weekend really sucked. You see my driving privileges have been suspended because I have  seizures and by law I can’t drive until I have been seizure free for at least six months. It is driving me crazy that I can’t drive.  I can’t wait to put my four kids, three dogs, and husband [...]

Preparing Children…

July 16, 2009

As parents we have many jobs. There are the obvious ones like providing them a safe place to live, feeding and nourishing them, clothing them, and loving them. Sure there are kids out there that don’t even have these basic needs met but I think we can all agree this list is pretty accurate of [...]

As a young girl, my favorite story was Cinderella.  It was my favorite story mostly because it was the only book I owned.   I think they were called Golden Books. They were the little books with the cardboard like covers bound by gold foil. My mama got the book for  me using stamps at [...]

Welcome Home Mama

July 8, 2009

The photo above is the house I grew up in. Now granted this photo was taken several years after I left, but it looks pretty much the same as it did when I lived there.  Don’t let the looks of abandonment fool you. It is inhabited, that is until my dad got drunk and burned [...]

Hmmmm…. Baby Back Ribs

My son Ethan and I love BBQ ribs. When we visit BBQ restaurants he and I both always order ribs.  For his 10th birthday, Ethan asked if he could go to Chili’s  to eat ribs. Okay so you get it… we really like ribs. Unfortunately, I have never been able to master the techniques of [...]

Mommy Time…

July 1, 2009

As mothers we are always doing for other people but seldom do for ourselves.  Well ladies it is time to break that cycle. For all that we do, we deserve a little “me” time.  Mothers never get a break. We are always on duty.  Even if you have to stay up 30 minutes later or [...]

The Legend…

July 1, 2009

It has been several days since the passing of the late Michael Jackson. I think everyone would agree that  Mr. Jackson was a genius in his field. With 750 million record sales worldwide it would be a hard  to argue. As a young girl I remember watching the Thriller video time and time again, and [...]
