I’ve tried to type a blog post for several days now. Each time I would try to get to the admin page where the magic is made…it would say that it timed out and that it was unavailable. It said to check the proxy. What the hell fire is a proxy? I tried to fix […]
Today was picture day for Colt. Can you even imagine the OCD control freakazoid I become on picture day? I mean… A.) I’m not with them at school to straighten clothes, lick down hair, or wipe the last of their Capri Sun off of their mouths. B.) I’m not taking the picture. and C.) Well…the […]
I spent all yesterday in the lazy boy. Chad shared his cold with me. I’d rather him be stingy. And now…I find myself counting down the minutes. Waiting for the hit. Craving it. Needing it. Wanting it. Damn Afrin. I have found myself addicted to Afrin on more than one occasion. Apparently my body addicts […]
It’s come to my attention that it takes about 2 1/2 weeks for me to transition. This is good information to know. I wish I had figured it out sooner. We are 2 1/2 weeks into the new school year and I have finally caught my wave. I struggled to paddle, took in some water, […]
One thing I know for sure is that life…for whatever reason…is full of curve balls. The minute you think you have a handle on it… WHAM-O. Annnnnnd… no. Like…it just can’t stand it if you think…for one second…that you’ve got your sh*# together. The second the ole’ “WOW! Things are going so well!” thought enters […]
What to say…other than we closed out Summer with a confident bang. Today is officially the last day. And I guess I’m comfortable with saying it’s over. The beginning of school always holds a certain promise of hope. Hope for learning. Hope for friendship. Hope for growth. And I can jump on board with a […]
This weekend has been a catalyst for growth. That’s the best way I know to sum it up. It’s been hard…but without tears. Which…let’s be honest…is nothing short of a miracle. And as I begin to put these moments to paper…the emotions are flowing faster than the words. Let’s start with Friday. Chad and I […]
I keep telling myself it has to be done. To allow my 20 year High School Reunion to go “un-told” about…just doesn’t seem right. We have been planning it for so long…I can’t believe it has actually come and gone. I wasn’t a class officer in high school. I wasn’t much of anyone. That’s what […]
I’m convinced that instagram has become the downfall of the blog post. It’s too easy. I have become a photography cheater. A lazy snapper. A snippet story teller. I’m going to have to do something about this. I am beyond excited to be sitting at my desk this morning…watching the televising of the Houston Rodeo. […]
Welcome to the new site! I am excited to write here…and to continue to preserve our story for the kids. It took us a while to get it up and running…and there is still a lot of learning to do. Uploading pictures is super different. There’s a lot of “transition” going on around these parts. […]
