Helping. Healing. Caring.
Mommy is just so darn sorry. I’ve let so much time pass by with no news of you. So much has happened and the time has flown by… Sam… you let Mommy rock you to sleep now. IT is just the sweetest time. You are quite the stubborn little Mac…wonder where you get THAT from? […]
sort of. Mostly I’m probably hyperventilating, alternating with praying…yelling…praying…yelling… Um, it’s sort of like the deployment hamster wheel of the wife of the deployed Marine who is just looney enough to homeschool, run a home business AND maintain a level of TYPE A that is really treatable with just enough wine…. and then, I’m stupid […]

curling through the air, disappearing slowly, softly…until only a fuzzy outline remains… I remember when I was younger, I used to think I’d remember it all. I’d never forget anything! HA, I say. 5 kids and about a bazillion brain cells later…well, here we are. Mama is too tired to blog most of the time, […]
in my arms tonight. He gave me kisses, hugs, snuggles and love. He let me sing and stroke his hair, then let me rock him right to sleep. And we rocked & rocked and rocked. I’d still be rocking if the M-n-M’s hadn’t needed me to send them off to dreamland. My sweet boy hasn’t […]
how they linger, how they ever touch my soul… (my fave Randy Travis song…) These last few months have rolled by on the waves of change. I blinked and Max started really talking…following many of his caveman sentences with “Now.” Not in a demanding way, just a simple, “Mi, now.” “Book, now,” “Bite, now.” (A […]
Mommy was so inspired by you today! Out of nowhere, you started dancing just like a ballerina, complete with hand movements and tippy toes, twirling about the playroom, you face the picture of sweet peace and bliss. You followed this sweetness with many snuggles for Mommy right before you informed me you wanted to take […]
Me: Charley, Nana has wooden spoons here to. I’m sure she’ll let me use it if you don’t straighten up. Charley: Really Mom? Because I have a bigger one. Me: (mouth hanging open, speechless…) I got nothin’. Moving on…Charley: Mommy, your hair looks crazy! You look just like Aunt Sammy now!Me: Gee thanks…would you like […]
from the last few months of clan mac chaos! Max and Mercy holding hands as they play outside, taking a stroll… Sam sitting up! The first time Mercy uttered my favorite words…I Love You Mama…which she then taught to her sweet brother…sometime in February. How perfect! Mercy talking a blue streak…and I can understand! Max […]
little moments like that….You know that country song? Sing it just a bit for me. Then read all about the moments whose time and date escapes me, but whose details, praise the Lord, don’t. Sam sat up, now he sits…and he rolls…and he scooches a bit. He has this hysterical method of rolling his fat […]
