Boy, oh boy. I made that decision way more difficult than it needed to be. But then again. That’s what I do. Nothing new. At the beginning of this week I had all but decided to not accept a sub job for today. Friday. You see, this evening we will taking 7 of our teens […]
The One where She Brags on Google
Somehow I have time before working today to get a post up. Miracle of miracles. But something that works for me is my friend, the Google Calendar. This little tool from my favorite internet powerhouse is a.m.a.zing. You can format it to look how you want it–colors as well as views. You can check out […]
The One with the Flu. Again.
Another day of brutal honesty with MckMama is upon us. Here are a few things I definitely did not do this weekend: ::come down with my fourth or fifth bout of the flu on Saturday. ::ask my husband to go through his clothes and get rid of things for the rummage sale…and then argue with […]
The One with the Wondering Week
It’s been a bit of a busy week. And I can’t help by think, “How do they do it?” At the risk of sounding totally naive and unexperienced, I give you the following thought process. How does a woman care and love for her husband? Work all day long? Keep the house clean? Make dinner? […]
The One with my First and Forever Valentine
I’m having trouble remembering what I intended to write here. Because of Bianca. Let me see. Ironically enough, we now have a cat. Specifically, we’re cat-sitting. For something like a month. When we were asked to watch this 13 year old cat named Butterscotch, we thought it was the perfect compromise. I had wanted a […]
The One with Mouse Admissions
The whole point of MckMama’s “not me” Monday is to confess. Admit to those things we’d rather not have people find out. Proclaim to all who will listen the embarrassing quirks of our seemingly perfect lives. This week I have just one moment. Well, that’s not true. I’m sure I have about a million. But […]
The One with Speculations
There is such a thing as too much cheese on a pizza. When it gags you. Not cool. There is such a thing as eating too many M&Ms. I really never thought this could be true. But last night I had a tummy ache. For the first time in ages. And I knew it was […]
The One where I’m LOST
Things I have done in the last few days. Ate an entire 12oz bag of M&M’s. Mostly on the drive to and from Columbus. Slept in on Monday. Worked half a day Tuesday. In a second grade co-taught classroom. Super easy. Super fun. Had every girl complimenting me the first 10 minutes of class. “I […]
The One with Dare2Share
Now I know what a whirlwind feels like. Exhilarating. Adrenaline rushing. Sleep depriving. Totally unforgettable.* *If you’d rather get the simple photo recollection, skip to the end of this enormous post. Of what am I speaking? Dare2Share. The Blaze Tour. Columbus, OH. 5,000 teens. Crazy adults. Challenges. Heart changes. Unforgettable worship. Allowing oneself to become […]
The One with the Muth
Wonderful snippets from the Pastor-Spouse Retreat. Frankenmuth, MI post Snowfest weekend. Chinese buffet in a German tourist town. Room with a king sized bed and poolside entrance. Seeing old friends. Talking with recently made friends. Making new friends. Not being the “noobs.” Hearing a totally new perspective of Galatians 6:9. (Do not lose heart in […]
