So Much to Tell

some of my favorite blog topics...
 I know it seems like I put a lot of personal stuff on this blog, but you need to know that there is SO MUCH that I don't blog about.  (and don't ask me about it because I usually try to forget what ever it is immediately so I'm not tempted.) 

My marriage, children & friendships are too important to me to ruin them over a silly blog.  Now, if you want to make the blog...Anslee, Ryan, Alex, Allison, David, Hannah H., JoeJoe, Will O., Lauren, Hannah M., Daniel, Joe, Pete, Bates...I'm more than happy to put you on here.  I could use as many different topics that I can get since I'm almost half way there. :)  I love to blog about y'all, you make me smile.

...another group I love to blog about
We've had a great week so far.  Elizabeth was invited to join the pointe class at her dance studio for next year, and she scored well on her math placement test for 7th grade.  Hop's team won in the first round of the high school lacrosse tourney against a big rival.  Harry & Henry's lacrosse seasons ended, and both of them improved tremendously.  Everyone is doing well with their grades, and we're gearing up for the end of the year.  And then it's SUMMERTIME!  WooHoo...SO.Excited!  But I'll blog about that at a later date.

Celebrating Life!

Hey Mom...You're Hovering!

Helicopter parents just about do me in!  Y'all, I'm getting my soapbox out on this one.  I mean it, they really bother me.  If you're a self-admitted helo parent, you need to read this posting. First off, let me say, I am not a perfect parent.  I am blessed with wonderful children, but I know they didn't get that way by accident.  It's hard work to let your children go & let them learn how to stand on their own two feet.  Their standing starts when they are young & progresses as they get older so when they are about to go to college they are actually semi-responsible young adults. (semi-responsible because they are not completely supporting themselves  yet, and yes there is a HUGE difference!) You may be wondering where this ranting is coming from?  At church 2 Sundays age I had a mom totally wig-out about leaving her child in a room of other 5 years olds.  The child was fine:  she came in & was gett...

Ready and GO

Not to brag, but (actually I am bragging here.  FYI, when someone says 'but' in the middle of a sentence, they are oftentimes contradicting themselves.) I have successfully taught three children how to drive.  Today, I begin my fourth and final journey in teaching the art of driving.  Don't kid  yourself, driving is an art.  Have you seen how half the people drive on the road?  Some of them need a few more lessons.  It's a ready and go kind of day! I used to joke that, with my brother being 7 years younger than I am, my mom just threw him the keys and made him teach himself how to drive.  Henry is 7 years younger than Hopson, and  I've been looking forward to having a chauffeur since Elizabeth turned 16.  I always have to drive everyone everywhere, so I'll be happy to sit, observe and teach from the passenger's side.  (Hopson is turning into his dad & likes me to drive him as well.)  Now I don't have to go to the groc...

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with t...
