Tired of Being Tired

February 14, 2011

A few years ago, I found out my parents slept in separate beds. I was devastated. I interrogated my parents about their relationship to make sure everything was okay. After hearing from my mom and dad that they were NOT headed toward divorce, I relaxed. The reason for the separate beds: snoring. My dad snores [...]

In 2007, hubby and I tied the knot, and I changed my status from single to married. Since hubby and I are on the fence about having kids, we’ve yet to change our status to proud parents. I don’t have as much in common with my Mommy friends, but that’s okay…I still love them!! Differences [...]

The Friend You Used To Be

August 11, 2010

“I miss the friend you used to be,” I say to myself. I used to be a great friend. (At least I tried to be.) I hung out, kept plans, talked on the phone, and opened my home and life to my friends. Whatever they needed, I was there. A listening ear – got it. [...]

In August of 2007, hubby and I went camping. Now, this was nothing new to me. In fact, growing up, my friends and I spent a lot of time in the woods. Camping is what we did. So, it only seemed fitting that I’d take my hubby (who was my boyfriend at the time) camping [...]

When friends of ours announced that they were having a baby, my hubby was the first to know. I came home from work to hear: “J and A are having a baby.” “Oh yeah!” I exclaimed. Immediately, I started shooting the questions at him: Is it a boy or a girl? When is she due? [...]

If It Were A Snake

June 30, 2010

When I was young, any time I needed to find something I would look for about .2 seconds and then yell, “Mom! I can’t find it.” She’d come to the part of the house where I was, walk over to it (it was usually right in front of my face), pick it up and hand [...]

Sunday Morning Saga

June 26, 2010

So, every Sunday morning (well, most Sundays) hubby and I get up and to go church. The alarm goes off at 7:30, and I am up and getting into the shower. For me, time is of the essence. I know we need to leave at 8:25 to be there at 9. That way, we are [...]
