When did I become such a mom? I guess it was almost 14 years ago when I gave birth. The real question is, when did I become a medicine and crayon carrying, responsible parent? It seems like just yesterday I was 20 and running around footloose and fancy free with no worries other than college […]

London Calling
As someone who has always loved English history, I was naturally thrilled when I got the chance to go to the UK in the summer of 2009. Growing up American, our country is practically entwined with our European sister, but their culture seemed so much more interesting. I’m what you would call an Anglophile, someone […]
Winter of Our Discontent
This man, who was elected to lead our country, has decided to chat with the ladies on The View instead of meeting with world leaders. He is a disgrace, pure and simple. Okay, I’m seeing this but my mind cannot seem to grasp it. I see the President of the United States going from talk […]
Oh Henry
I love British history but there is one part that is most interesting and one story I never get tired of – The 6 wives of Henry the 8th. It’s better than anything you could make up. You have all the ingredients for a V.C. Andrews novel – greed, lust, jealousy – all the biggies. […]
Somebody Like You
A facebook friend of mine has been bemoaning the fact that he can’t find anyone and is tired of pursuing anything meaningful. This has given me inspiration for this blog. Whether you want to admit it or not, we have all been there. I’m almost 40 now, looking back on my 20′s, I think about […]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Today is Sunday, a day to relax, recover from last week and to get ready for the next week, whatever it may bring. Normally on Sunday I try to make it to church but often I don’t succeed. My mom, a southern baptist, stays on me about church and she always asks me if we […]
Ode to Peggy
We all have that memory that stays with us forever. Here’s an example. Many moons ago, when I was an 11 year old Girl Scout, I went on one of the frequent camping trip to Camp Wawbansee. Now, camping was not and still isn’t my thing. Being away from our parents for a week or […]
This Woman’s Work
I am so behind on everything I need to do. There’s artwork that needs to be finished, blog writing, linguistic work, online class, studying french, and housework to do. Taking care of the kids is a given. It gives me very little time to excercise but I will fit it in somehow next week. If […]
Here Comes the Rain Again
I love lying in bed listening to the rain, especially knowing I don’t have to be anywhere anytime soon. It’s the best feeling in the world, especially when everyone else is asleep. It gives me a chance to get my thoughts together. A shower has the same effect so maybe it’s just the calmness of […]
Mindless Obamamania
Being a Democrat myself, I naturally don’t have anything against voting for one but, for the life of me, I can’t understand the blind faith people have in Barack Obama. Someone please explain it to me. I’ve seen videos where otherwise sane people are vowing to obey him and people teaching their kids to sing […]
