If Jon can do it, then so can I!

For those of you that frequent Ziggy Thoughts, no, I’m not referring to peeing in the shower! That’s just gross!!! What I am referring to is a rant, a good old-fashioned rant! And for my friend at Mommy Stories, I apologize now because I know this is old news to you. But there are just [...]

A House Full of Sicko’s

Take the title for what it’s worth, but what I mean is that almost everyone in my house is sick with one ailment or another! It seems that every year, around this time, we come down with allergies/colds that take weeks to get rid of. And, of course, when one person gets it, we all [...]

A Mustard Seed’s Story

Matt. 17:20 “Because you have so little faith, I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
I think – no I believe – there is a purpose, [...]

No More Nap!

Do any of you remember that line from “Honey, I Blew-up the Kid!”? The 80 foot tall baby toddling through Las Vegas yelling “No More Nap!” to his daddy, who looked only inches tall in comparison. This seems to be the rallying cry of the day at my house. Not only has my 2 year [...]

The Quiet Times

I don’t know about you, but it is always my goal to read a bedtime story to my kids. I love to read, and one of my desires for my children is that they inherit my love of reading! So, like I said, it’s always my goal. But sometimes I miss that goal by just [...]

What little boys are made of?

It doesn’t seem to matter what I give my youngest son Ian to eat, he chokes on it! Then there are the things that I don’t give him – paper, hairbands, crumbs of food, roaches, dirt, his spit, etc. It’s all a choking hazzard. Of course, seeing as how anything that’s on the floor (and [...]

Another Big Day

So, today was Morgann’s first day of preschool – Yea!!! She was so brave and excited – she went right in, helped me to place her ‘too heby” lunch box into the designated lunch box basket, then went on to play with the playdough placed on one of the tables. I was like [...]

Back to Normal?

I don’t know if I can truly say that or not, but we’re getting close, I guess. Our definition of normal around here is what is typically going on for the better part of the year, which in this case is school. Alex has been attending preschool since he was 3, and both Alex & [...]

Waving Goodbye

It’s done! As I choke back tears and try to ‘be strong’, my little man has stepped onto the school bus and into another phase of his life. He spent the better part of the morning asking if the bus was here yet – as soon as his eyes opened, during breakfast, and while brushing [...]

The Saga Continues…

Well, in my eagerness to drive my point home last night, I failed to consider what I’d be dealing with today! Something I didn’t mention in last night’s posting was that poor Alex gets very sick when he doesn’t get enough to eat. He has blood sugar issues, so you can imagine my lack of [...]
