And I'm back...

So remember 10 years ago when I started a blog but never wrote on it? Okay, not ten years but its been a while since I've made an entry. But man, life has been busy! I am in no way a "blogger" by profession or an English buff for that matter, so excuse everything that you may find offensive with my spelling, grammar, run-ons, punctuation..yada, yada, yada.
Let me help you understand my world. I've been married 11 years and have three crazy sons (I refer to them as ninjas). I was told after Ninja #1, I was done having children. That's what the doctor had to say. God had another plan. Four years later we had Ninja #2, with another act of the Almighty, and 13 months later, Ninja #3 rolled into our lives. That makes a 6 year old, an 18 month old and 5 month old.
I don't leave the house unless I have to. We live in a second floor condo and getting us all to the car, run the errands and back up makes for a beyond exhausting event that brings me close to cussing or dissolving in tears. My attire is whatever is loose fitting and happens to be clean. I'm rescued every evening when my Superman comes home from work and rights all that has gone wrong. He is the best thing ever.
Life isn't easy right now, but I'm okay with that. It gets to me some days and I fully participate in the ugly cry and have a melt down. Other days I wipe spit up and clean a bum like its my second nature... never missing a beat. Every mother I come in contact with tells me to enjoy these times because they grow up too fast. Laundry will always be there, but my babies being babies will not. I fully intend on listening to their wisdom. Even if it sounds stupid on the hard days.
So I'm back to blogging. I think it might be a form of therapy for me. A place where I can be myself, let out frustration, exclaim a joyous event or simply work on my typing.
Humor is something we take very seriously in my world. I hope you find it in these posts and are able to enjoy my journey.

My Twenty Minute Ride Home

When I was growing up, I simply refused to show hormonal emotion. I even took pride in the fact I could watch Steele Magnolias and not shed a tear. This is no longer the case (and don't get me started on that darn movie...I bawl like a baby every time). This "release of emotion" all started back to when I first got married. The Cajun and I (like most people) had an interesting first few years of marriage. The man could not seem to learn how to read my mind, or the huge hints I would send out. Thus the tears.... Then things got worse after I birthed a 9lb human. Suddenly those stupid Hallmark commercials would just ruin me. And then I tried to potty train this ninja....and again....and the last time I tried, he got it. I'm not sure if you have ever tried to potty train a stubborn male being at a young age or not but its a type of hell on earth all on it's own. I can still hear myself yelling "JUST GO TO COLLEGE IN A DIAPER!!! I NO LONGER GIVE A FLYING FART IN...

Life in the Treehouse

I refer to our home as the Treehouse since it's a second story condo. It's technically 1560 sq feet of home which is larger than our first single-story house was. But when you get inside, it seems somewhat nestled in a tree due to all the large trees surrounding the front windows. I use to despise the Treehouse....it was the means to an end for me. Now I love it....I adore it actually. And I cringe of the day when we may have to leave it. There are so many memories in this place. My oldest ninja was three (almost four) when we moved in, and now there are not one but THREE ninjas. Our neighbors always (not exaggerating) greet our crew with a huge smile as they give the southern "hi" in our direction. I use to think it was because they are just so darn nice. But the other day as I was belting out the chorus to Angel of the Morning (in my best Dolly Pardon voice...not that she sung it) while unloading the washing machine that is right near the front door, I realized, th...

Eat Cake. Be Brave. Book Review!

Hey y'all, I was blessed to get my hands on an early copy of this book to read and review. I have never in my life done a book review....I've only ever done book reports, and I stunk it up with those. So hopefully, I can do this review justice. Please know that this is my personal opinion of what I gained from reading this book. I am not getting paid to do this. I promise you, I will be completely honest, and completely myself. In the fashion of being honest, here is what you need to know about my reading preferences. I of course, love reading the Bible (although some books I need either Cliff's Notes to understand or something like Leviticus for Dummies), I soar through fiction (especially Christian fiction), gently jog through autobiographies and come to a dead halt when it comes to spiritual/self help books. I just do. I have so many I have yet to finish. I think it's because they make me think deep and hard about my life, and if you know me, I'm good at ma...
