I need to hire an assistant. Little to no pay. But I do encourage naps. Please find below a list of duties: Undos & put aways: unpack suitcases, unload dishwasher, put away groceries, put away clean laundry, put away craft supplies after projects. Task master: I get easily distracted and you may need to gently…

**I’m totally over all this Tina business. I just felt it important to record the saga as this blog does serve as my journal. Ok, so it has been soooo hard trying to protect Tina’s identity while talking about her on the web. Here’s a little background though. She’s been a HUGE part of my…

I took my mom and Morgan to the airport this morning. They are headed to DC for the week. Morgan is on Spring Break and it just so happens that Hale’s big conference of the year is this week in DC. Apparently W himself might even speak. They took my camera with them and I’m…

When Jake showed up at Mama M’s house Saturday for Marc’s birthday dinner he was carrying his stuffed Spiderman. Spidey was wearing a diaper and a backpack. It was the funniest thing I’d seen all day. Apparently Jake wouldn’t get a new diaper on unless Spidey did. Ah, role models.

When Jake woke up this morning and Sara told him today was his Spiderman party, first words out of his mouth were “Where are my shoes? Have to put on shoes.” He was ready Freddy!Every child born anywhere near the Carolinas was there. Food was great, it was a lot of fun, and Jake received…

Saturday my Dad came into town and we went to my BIL’s mom’s house to celebrate Marc’s (my BIL) 37th birthday. Wow. We are all getting so old. I remember when I thought 37 was old. But with all of us sitting around that table it still seems like we’re just a bunch of young…

I received a disturbing letter from a relative a few days ago and I’ve been debating about blogging about it. But this is my journal so I feel it warrants a mention. In the letter my relative, let’s call her Tina, made some strange remarks. So I called Tina and during our conversation things went…

I’m having a hard time with American Idol this year. I like too many of the contestants. I was really surprised though, to see Mandisa get booted. I thought she had a great voice and figured she’d stay around longer than Bucky for Pete’s sake! As long as Chris stays I’m happy. I love how…

We have officially entered mega birthday season for my family. Jake’s is March 30, Morgan April 2, Pappy April 5, Marc April 6, Hale April 17. Throw in there the tax deadline and Easter and I’m one busy chickie! Jake’s party is this weekend and should be lots of fun. Jon’s found a special gift…

Have you guys seen the Alphabet Pal? It’s this cute little educational toy that is supposed to teach your child the sounds each letter makes, the alphabet, and colors. This was one of Jake’s first toys and Olivia has one too. I saw it at her house the other day and had to share a…
