You know how they say that when black people are shopping or in a crowd, when they see another b .....

This is such a wonderful story I had to share it with you!  Aside from the picture of cou .....

My family absolutely loves fish and especially squash to go with it.  My favorite way to shop in a grocery store is to ignore all the center aisles and just shop around the edges.  Where all t .....

Last night I went to go pick up my son's friend at around 11pm.  I asked him what time his mom normally gets up in the morning.  He said 5am because she has to get up and babysit at 7am.  I asked, "Yes, but why get up so early?"  He replied, "Because she has to get up and open the curtains."  Ohhhh, well that explains it.  It's hard for me to comprehend why anyone would purposefully get up before daylight but that's because I've always been a night owl.  By the time I went t .....

I'm extremely tired as all heck.  Been gone since Friday (just Ivy and I), then gone on Sunday for church with visiting places in between, gone all Monday.  Then a family member showed up at my door 5:30am in horrible pain.  I woke up to hearing my dogs barking very loudly.  I thought it was odd that they'd be barking like that so early in the morning.  My husband woke me up to tell me it was a family member named Peter (name protected) at the door.  He works close by and all of a su .....

I have this wood piano sitting in my living room that likes to collect dust.  Recently I was thin .....

Aghhh.... yesterday was just one of those days.  I woke up my boys for school and helped get them ready.  Kyle complained of his eyes burning but that's about it.  I thought it was allergies maybe.  As soon as they arrived on the school bus, the school called and said Kyle threw up in the hallway of the school and I need to come get him.  Oh man.  I had just sat down with my coffee and two of my little ones were still sleeping.  The school is not close so I was bummed about .....

It's a true dilemma I am having and it's co .....

Finally, Blogger is back up and running!  Ohhh, how I missed you. Sniff.... Anyway!  I was right in the middle of blogging about something a couple of days ago when it went down.  So, I'll try again.  Was blogging about Melanie turning 30.  :D It was my husband's sister's birthday so we enjoyed getting together for a mexican meal.  Well, as good as us white people could make it.  Tee hee.... It's like Taco Bell.  They call themselves mexican food but we all knooooow, it' .....

Okay, it helps to get rid of stuff when you don't have people picking through your boxes and saying they need this or that. I've tried several time to rid of stuff and it's just frustrating. Finally last night my husband said to go ahead and clean house.  Just don't tell him what I'm getting rid of and he'll be fine.  YES!  Finally!  Of course I know what he really loves and I wouldn't touch it.  But for example, I just got a brand new set of plates and bowls given to me and I wanted to get rid of t .....
