Last night we fell asleep to the frantic cries of mama cows separated from their babies. I tell you, life on a farm can be really noisy. If it’s not the bulls bellowing to everyone how … randy they’re feeling, how they really want to … be affectionate with the females, then it’s the mamas [...]

Sentimental musing
I wasn’t one of those moms who wept uncontrollably when her baby went to school for the first time. Don’t get me wrong-I might have grieved a tiny bit that my sweet baby that I held practically nonstop her first few months on this earth was big enough to go off without me and learn [...]

Thank God It’s The End Of The Traditional Work Week
(Yes I realize that’s really long and lots of unnecessary wordage but I really tire of old sayings like “T.G.I.F.”. I was going to put Thank God It’s The End Of The Week, but it’s only Friday and we have still one more day to get [...]

The history of bad hair
I often say I have chronic bad hair. I think most people probably read that and think “haha, cute” and go on with their day, not realizing that I am being 100% honest and truthful.

Proof I’m not a killer of all things green
Back in May, I had Lance and the girls out in the vastness of the backyard, preparing for a new family project. We were attempting a great feat- a sunflower garden. I found the idea in a Family Fun magazine.
Lance, being way smarter in the gardening category, hacked and hewed a giant U shape in [...]

Fashion trendsetter
Today, I made a bold fashion statement to the world. I was fearless, and unafraid to face the world with my fashion faux pas. Well, ok, maybe I was a little afraid.
What was this admirable feat, you ask? I left the house without painting my toenails.
Big deal! you scoff? Well, that just means you are probably [...]

Country music makes me philosophical
My boss is out of town this week which means that I get to read blogs all day I get to catch up on all my work. Before I get crackin, I thought I’d tell you about my weekend, which was oh, so action packed. I meant to get a lot of cleaning and chores done this [...]

Mentally scarring my children early
Can you believe it’s almost time for school to start again? I spent my lunch hour yesterday shopping for school supplies, remembering when I had my own wooden ruler with the little metal bar that sliced up my fingers and doing random things like pouring glue on my hand and letting it dry and then revelling in [...]
