Some days, I think I’m depressed.
Other days, I think I’m bipolar.
And then there’re days when I think I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life. Continue reading

Hamburgers and Hazard Lights
There’re many ways to spend a Sunday: some go to church and fellowship after; some watch football; some go to AA meetings; and some play video games all day long, but Nathan and I found something better to do: drive four hours to eat a hamburger. Continue reading
Texas v. San Diego: The Voice of a Mother’s heart
As a mother, I’m about to make one of the hardest decisions of my life, but the decision made will have an impact on my children, and I’m not sure what to choose. Continue reading
I’m 11 YEARS SOBER!!!
Wow, earlier I put a note on here, but it didn’t show up.
Today, I’m ELEVEN years sober and wanted to share it with my website friends. In a moment, I’ll be writing about my day.
Meet My First Grand-baby!!!
On August 2nd, we were celebrating my daughter’s birth throughout the day, when she went into labor. The next morning, at 4am, her daughter was born!
* Ariel * 6lbs 13.2oz * 19″ long *
My son came to visit!
Then, she was jaundice, so we were back in the hospital for three days.
Finally, we got to go home!!
It’s been a LONG week…so much to write about!
In Harms Way
Today, I’m not really sure how writing’ll work out. It’s one of those times when I’m afraid of what I’m going to write about, so without thinking, here I go. Continue reading
One on One
Last week, the kids were at youth camp, and on Friday, we picked them up to bring them home to a surprise.
Since we arrived two months ago, I’ve been asking Scott for a basketball hoop for the kids. Well, I finally made that happen.
When we pulled up, I watched their faces. Nathan wasn’t looking out the window, but Carolyn saw, and her face said it all! She was SO surprised and pointed it out to Nathan, who loved it.
When we got inside, I laid down for a quick nap, and when I’d awoken (which was not even an hour later), Nathan’d already been out there shooting hoops!!
Later on, he went out a second time with Katie.
This hoop was one of the best decisions we’ve made!! Nathan’s been SO depressed, but now, he has an outlet!
Not ALL Bad
Since it’s been “difficult” here, I’m going to point out things I like.
I love hearing the birds talk…sometimes fifty at a time.
I love watching the trees blow through the window.
I love my yellow room.
I love sitting at our dining room table, eating dinner, playing games.
I love, when I’m first to wake up, sitting in the living room in silence.
I love sitting in that same silence in my bedroom.
I love dancing at church.
I love the breeze at the ocean; it sort of blows the humidity away.
And in the moments it happens, I love watching the kids have fun.
I love my talks with Katie.
I love the times when Scott and I laugh.
I love watching the kids grow.
I love cooking with my girls.
I love creating.
Anyway, those are some of the things I love. I’m sure I’m missing some, and I’m sure some are an exaggeration, but it’s good to focus on the beauty that’s all around me.
Behind the Eyes
Today, I’d like to open my heart about Nathan because he needs your prayers, but before I share about his heart, let me show you inside my mommy-heart. Continue reading
