You miss me, don’t you?

Alas, days have gone by with nary an update from me. 
But you’re probably recovering from holiday letdown, so I’m not too worried.
Ok, for this day-before-New-Year’s-Eve post, I shall give you another list of bizarre search terms that people use to find little ole me.

Well, that’s because of this post.  It seems, I’m really not original [...]

The post where I tell you how stellar I am at getting things done in a timely and professional manner

I know, you’re thinking, can you make that post name any longer, Kearsie?  Well, smart alecky blog reader, I’m sure I could if you really want me to go there.
Sorry.
I’m grouchy today.  It’s Monday, and I so do not want to be at work.  I’d much rather be curled up in my flannel jammies watching [...]

Addie’s cell phone

So today, to prepare for the onslaught of new toys and junk that will soon be crowding our already tiny apartment, I went through all the girls stuff.
I made them help, if only to sit there for moral support.  Mostly, as I uncovered toys they had forgotten about, they just played with long lost treasures. [...]

Reflections eating chicken

I am sitting at a minuscule lunch table with my daughter, noshing on a chicken leg.  We are celebrating the birth of Christ with M&Ms and a cheese ball, just the way I like.  Emma has a big smile on her face.  She’s sitting across from me and next to her best friend, Callie.  I’ve [...]

Adventures in sickness

Here’s a riddle for you:
What’s more fun than taking one of your sick children with you to your doctor’s appointment?
The answer:  Taking BOTH your sick children with you to your doctor’s appointment.
Sigh.
December.  It conjures up so many happy and fun images.  I think it’s because your brain tries to trick you into forgetting all the [...]

I made you the world

Gee, that sounds awfully lot like something God said.  
I am not God.  But I am the owner of several shrunken wool sweaters and the crazy notion that I can make stuff out of them, which practically makes me divine.
I was supposed to attend a Christmas party today for my church’s small group.  However, the [...]

Dare I say it? I just might have the Christmas spirit after all.

So, I’ve been trying to hunt through the mental attic again for more favorite Christmas gifts.  I know I just waxed eloquently about it a few days ago, but I wondered if anyone else had these growing up:
 
 
These were the coolest because they also came with an official certificate signed by Yoda.  Awesome.

 
I looooveeed my [...]

The Christmas Story, from Addie’s perspective

You cannot grow up a child of a preacher without being trained in the true Christmas story.  You know, the stuff about Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.  Bonus points if you know the gifts from the three wise men.  
Emma, since the age of 4, could tell you all about every detail.  Part of that [...]
