By nature, I am a night owl. I love to be up late and get things accomplished at night. But I know this does not fit my life right now. I need to sleep. Getting to sleep before 11:00 most nights can be difficult. I had one of those nights last night. I couldn’t get to sleep. I had so much on my mind and things I wanted to remember to do. It just about drove me crazy! What is…
Some of you have been incredulous at my routines and schedules. I need them because I lack the self-discipline to get stuff done myself. But I have days where nothing gets done. We may have had a busy day. My energy levels were low. Many excuses can be used here. Last night, it hit me. Out of the blue. I have been doing something without thinking anything about it.

Protect their emotions. Protect their bodies. All I want is for my daughters is to find the very best man for them….
Since my mind has been so scattered lately, I will attempt to give you all an idea how many different directions it goes! #1 Prom is this week for Shali! Yeah! To me, this is more exciting than when I went myself. She is not my child who loves dresses so to see her get all dressed up is awesome! Although I broke down today and admitted defeat…I called the stylist about her hair. I can do part of it,…
Welcome to the newest member of our family! She is simply adorable! Meet Emmie! Getting her to look at the camera! Emmie is a seven year old coonhound. When we saw her, we couldn’t leave without her! We adopted her from the Paws and Claws Humane Society in Rochester. They had several dogs we liked, but we fell for her. I wanted to give her a forever home that she would be comfortable in and loved a lot! Photo courtesy…
