We’re “In the Middle,” I Think…
Posted in At Home, Life Lessons, Society on March 24, 2010 | 6 Comments »
My seven-year-old posed this question the other day, totally out the blue: “So, I’m still wondering…are we rich or are we poor?” I told him we were neither. “We’re in the middle.” His younger brother excitedly exclaimed, “We’re in the middle!” I thought to myself, actually we’re poor…but that’s not something a mother should tell [...]
Time Well, and not so well, Spent

My Honey was away last night and I found myself, as I often do when he is away for the night, vegging in front of the computer in an effort to stall the unpleasant inevitable: going to bed alone. After checking my email I perused the Yahoo! headlines and saw one regarding Kim Kardashian. I [...]
A New View

I stepped out to get the mail late one afternoon last week and thought, wow, that is a gorgeous view. This is the view I enjoyed previously, June through September of this year. Spanish Fork, Utah…it was an incredible view. It was a wonderful place to be, and I am very happy for the time [...]

I should have listened to my four-year-old as he sat upon my lap, helping me in a Chess match up against his six-year-old brother. He kept begging me to make use of my queen (I was letting him move my pieces after I decided where they should be moved to, and he wanted nothing more [...]
Come What May and Love It

The hardest, and longest, lesson I have learned thus far in my life is that I cannot plan my life to go exactly the way I want it to. It has been such a long lesson because I seem to keep on having to learn it over and over again…why can’t I just get it [...]
A Father to Learn From

I don’t know if all girls idolize their fathers when they’re young, but I certainly did. In fact, when I came of age to be looking for a husband, my criteria was simply, someone like my dad. I didn’t realize for quite some time that such expectations were unrealistic when dating guys who were half [...]
Leaving Las Vegas

My husband and I moved our family to Las Vegas four years ago, and though neither of us were from there, we had plans to “settle.” With full intention we put down roots, deep ones, and made alive in our lives the saying, bloom where you are planted. We fell in love with Las Vegas, [...]
Mother Dear, I Love You So…

When I was in sixth grade our class had a special “fast food” day. I don’t remember the reason or occasion, but our moms were supposed to pick up our favorite fast food meal and bring it to us for lunch on the lawn. I was different than everyone else. I was different because my [...]
