Injustice for Casey doesn’t bring justice for Caylee
So there is a lot of outrage right now that there was no justice for Caylee Anthony, but if you watched the trial or even halfway kept up with the news how could her mother be convicted? Two wrongs don’t make a right. We still don’t know how Caylee died, just that she’s dead. Maybe [...]
You can’t go home again
One week down, we made it. I miss my boy terribly, but I know he’s having fun with his friends in Arkansas. Next week he’ll be spending time with his dad’s family. Can’t believe he’s 16, flew on a plane by himself and is surviving this world without me. My dad is visiting this week, [...]
Father’s Day
First off, Happy Father’s Day to all of the wonderful Father’s out there that give of themselves and make their children’s lives better with love and compassion. I personally have a husband who is a wonderful father who loves and teaches my kids every day. I also have a father who loves me unconditionally and [...]
Tattoo Fail
I don’t personally have any tattoos, not that I have a problem with them, I just haven’t ever had anything I wanted to have on my body forever. I’ve seen some really impressive tattoos over the years, and some not so much. I’ve noticed more and more people are taking the cheap route and letting [...]
My boy is almost a Junior
Sophomore exams are over, now we just sit back and hope we passed. Four more days of school and I put Clayton on that plane and Daniel has to drag me, fingernails screeching out of the airport. I’ll feel better once the plane lands, but not the plane in Arkansas, the plane that brings him [...]
Heat Wave
I almost feel bad about our “Heat Wave” since by this time tomorrow we should be back in the 70′s, but we have had two days of high nineties. For the first time since we moved here we’ve needed air conditioning. My friends and family back in Arkansas have been in the nineties for a [...]
I am officially a grown up
I enjoyed my time being pregnant with my son, he was all mine for 10 months or so, but 16 years ago the time came I had to share my gift with the rest of the world. He waited a couple of extra weeks, I don’t think he ever intended to make an appearance and [...]
Summer Visitation
I know it will be fine, but this summer instead of dropping my oldest off across town, I’ll be sending him on a plane 1400 miles away, the farthest we’ve ever been apart. This is only his second time flying and he’ll be alone. He’ll get there, his grandparents will make sure he’s taken care [...]
What now?
So the predicted rapture time came and went, but there is still so much devastation around the United States right now. My heart is broken for all those who have lost homes and loved ones in the recent tornadoes and floods. This country has been through so much and it’s hard to see right now [...]
Longest school year ever
So the boys have to endure the longest school year this year. School starts about 3 weeks later here so the first semester, which they already finished in Arkansas, wasn’t over yet. It took a while to get them into school, not at all what I was used to in Arkansas. I had to prove [...]
