Midnight Ramblings of a Rookie Blogger

Ok, Justin just created a blog so I decided it was finally time for me to make one, too. Jason has been trying to get me to do this for quite sometime now, and well, frankly, I've run out of excuses. I've played the I'm-too-busy-being-a-mommy-and-working-card all too many times. So, here is my official first post on my very own blog. Jason, I hope you are happy, now? And yes, I have visited your blog recently (another thing I get in trouble for not doing.) Anyway, I've thought of several things to write about on my first post and nothing profound has come to me so, this will probably be something very random. I mean who really cares what I think about stuff, anyway. Humor me for a minute while I reveal the elephant.blogspot.com (i.e. elephant in the room) It is my opinion that in most cases, not all, that the blog is more about people's responses to what you post and not the actual post itself. So, no matter what I post, you will more than likely participate in one of these responses. A) You will laugh out loud and say, "that is very funny," B) You will raise your eyebrows and say "that is so true," C) You will wrinkle your forhead and say, "That's dumb", D) You will make a disgusted face and say "Why is she posting this?" or E) You will shake your head and say "I completely disagree." And for you nonconformists, yes you can choose F) None of the above, and proceed to give me a whole new perspective, response, or personal belief that you feel the need to express. We of course want A, will settle for B, are very interested in the F's, but hope to never get D or E and especially not C. So, just out of curiosity, what was your first response?

The Changing of Seasons- The Growing Family is Growing UP!

I knew this time would come eventually; when my kids would discover their wings and start practicing for the day they fly away. The last few years with our big three kids have been like watching little birds jumping and fluttering above the nest. I'm not sure how bird families actually do it but for us, this fluttering gives them a taste of what is beyond the nest. They long to experience and explore life outside the bundle of twigs, but they aren't quite ready to go on their own. As a parent, we must offer to take them, help them understand and navigate the world around them, and eventually they will be ready to explore and manage life on their own. I didn't anticipate this sort of thing to happen with all three big kids at the same time, but it has in a way. I'm so grateful for how God has led and provided for them all and pray for the grace and strength to lead and guide them well through these transitioning years. Before I get into the personal details, I have to st

Why I think I'm ADD and shouldn't have to take a test to find out

I went to a psychologist, Dr. Sid Epperson, today to see about getting tested for ADD. My family Doctor referred me to him. The following happenings and situations should prove that I have ADD and do not need a test to tell me this....... -My appt. was at 1:00 and they told me to get there early. I planned to leave my house at 12:40 and didn't walk out the door until 12:50 and then still had to go back inside to get my phone which I could not find and ended up being under the sheets on my bed... yes, I made the bed with my phone in it. So, I didn't actually leave until 12:56. -I had to call on the way to find out where they were located b/c, no, I hadn't even done THAT yet.......ugh!!!!! Luckily I knew right where it was and it wasn't too far away. -I have no clue what time it was when i walked in the door and they just put me straight back and let me fill out my paper work afterwards (since I was late, obviously). It didn't even cross my mind to tell them on

Things that bother me or that I simply don't like

-most all church signs (message boards) -local commercials (they are always corny, low budget and usually contain an inside joke that only the workers of the company would understand) -most fruity candy, I prefer chocolate -unsweet cornbread -unsweet tea -rootbear, yuck (Justin and Sidney love it and I think it smells like nasty medicine) -Larry the cable guy and his famous phrase "Get -r done" -A street in North Texas named "Coit" ( It makes my teeth cringe to say it) -The name of a business in Denton called "Shax's" (for some reason that always bothered me. -when people ask me a question with no intention of listening to the answer and start talking before I'm done answering (I'm trying to be aware of doing this myself since it bothers me so much) -domino's pizza -square meat, you know what I'm talking about -most country music -Raisin cookies, there supposed to be chocolate chips...so disappointing -Sugar cookies that look like peanu
