Y’all, take your vitamin C today. In fact, go get you some Airborne right now.

Sick Little Girl

My poor, sweet, little (7-year-old) baby girl.  I felt her forehead this morning when she woke up and her skin was on fire.  She had a fever of 102.  I’m keeping an eye on things to make sure she hasn’t contracted strep throat.  We shall see…
I always know when she is seriously not feeling well [...]

Dolly Would Be Proud!

I know that I’m biased, but this is one of the cutest sights these eyes have ever seen… I was reminiscing the other day and got out some old videos of my sweet little girl when she was a baby and toddler. Didn’t she look just like a little cherub???
I actually submitted this [...]

At a Loss For Words!

My mother called tonight, worried about me.  Why?  Well, because since I hadn’t posted anything about the Titans after yesterday’s game, she thought something might be wrong.
All is well.  I just have no words to express the magnitude of suck that I witnessed in that game, so I had nothing to post.
I am, however, awaiting [...]

To You and Yours…

Shoot the Wounded, Why Don’t You?

I am so appreciative of the encouragement and advice I’ve received as a result of the post I wrote about my daughter’s (and well, my) self-image issues. Some days I am confident that I’m raising her right, and then there are others that I feel so inadequate. It’s good to know that [...]

I’m not sure what I really think about this…it’s kinda cool, and yet kinda cheezy…but I’ve gotta tell ya that every time I hear this song, all I can think about is Mary Mancini’s rendition [...]

The hottieness that is my OB/GYN has been well-documented on this here blog. I mean, for real…all it took was a dose of the good ‘ol anesthesia before surgery (and the major pain meds afterwards) and EVERYBODY, including him, were made aware of my feelings on the matter.
