Rainbows are incredible, you know? They are this amazing thing that combines water and sunlight to create the perfect, ultimate spectrum of color. If you ever just sit and look at one, you’ll see that there are the simple colors (red, purple, yellow), but also infinite gradations of colors within colors. It’s no wonder God…

Since I am up and not writing for money, I am going to consider this next post “honing my craft”. That’s what I tell myself I am doing when I am really just randomly writing words until something comes along to distract me, such as my house on fire. Or candy. I have a pug.…

I have now been a SAH mom for over a year. Whew! What an exciting anniversary. To celebrate, I think I will go and do some victory dishes. My attitude has changed a lot in a year. I remember last year, at almost exactly this same time, I was so pumped about getting to stay…

Music people are addicts of the worst sort. They hear their drug everywhere and it annoys everyone around them ceaselessly. These are the people who can’t be left alone with a piano. I am a music person. A singer, to be exact. I’ve been singing since before I could speak. And yet, I didn’t realize…

I was on Facebook this morning, which is actually quite rare for me nowadays, and I saw a good friend’s status update. It simply read, “Craving adventure.” In my life, I have been the kind of person who would make this a permanent tattoo if given the choice. My whole life seems to be a…

What I realized, sadly, is that you will keep coming to my blog whether or not I update it. What is even sadder is that you are still just coming to look at my hot cheerleader pictures and goggle over my ranch dressing photos. The internet is a strange bedfellow, let me tell you. In…

It isn’t fair to you to pretend that I’m not crazy. Yes, many of you think I’m talking about the dancing in thrift stores and jumping up and down during board games. No. I am not talking about this. I am talking about the debilitating disease of insanity that lurks around every dark corner of…

I’m getting a little homesick for school. I know that sounds totally crazy, but it is true. My teacher friends are out there somewhere, making lesson plans and figuring out how to make their students do exactly what they want them to. Meanwhile, back in SAH mom land, I am trying to decide how to…

Made you look. I always wanted to be a hot cheerleader. When I was 4, (this is an age we keep returning to, I know) I remember seeing all those cute little fluffy-headed cheerleaders with their fluffy-headed pom-poms and realizing that I really wanted to do that for a living. As in, “What do you…

I don’t usually write on Sundays. It is my day off, you know? It’s the day that I set aside to worship God in the best way I know how: watching Disney movies and eating ice cream. Today is different, though. Some of you know this, but I recently had a birthday. Yes, now I…

You. Yeah, I’m talking to you right now. Don’t pretend that I didn’t just see that happen. Just because we are at a stop light and you are in a car doesn’t mean that we are in separate worlds. I am not a figment of your imagination. I really just saw you do that. And…
