When I stop and think about it, I am aware at how differently my life turned out from what I expected.. I always visualized marrying a man with brown hair who would make me laugh and feel safe. I would get pregnant immediately. We'd have 2 or 4 babies (I like equal numbers.)and a houseful of animals. We … Continue reading Our Kids’ Oldest Brother And Us.

Home School, Take 2.
Wow, homeschool. I've been homeschooling since August and I've learned a few things. I've learned that I have much to learn, I've learned that homeschooling takes up a lot of your time (hence the serious shortage of blogging and posting), and I've learned that I really do love having my kids home with me. In … Continue reading Home School, Take 2.

My Kids And Their Birth Mother
I've had varying feelings towards my children's birth mother. I know that anger is not supposed to be one of those feelings but that doesn't change the fact that it has been.

I keep seeing all these articles about making non-waffle items in the waffle iron and that sounds right up our alley! So, I decided that we should try a new recipe every week (or weekish, depending on my level of … Continue reading Everyone Needs A Project!
Sharing Is Caring-Especially If Honey Buns Are Involved.
Brian loves The Beatles. I love Batman. Kaleb loves basketball. William loves Doctor Who. Lizzie loves animals. And Antwan, he loves Honey Buns. There is no truer statement in the world than this. He really loves Honey Buns and always has. I wish that I could remember the first time that he tried one. If I had known how much … Continue reading Sharing Is Caring-Especially If Honey Buns Are Involved.
Passing On My Memories To My Daughter
Motherhood. It's such a common thing and yet for some it is (or was) so hard to achieve. We take it on cavalierly like it's not a big deal and is all at the same time. We try to do our best as we take on the power to completely make or break someone. If you want to … Continue reading Passing On My Memories To My Daughter
Kaleb Should Be In Pictures.
Life is strange. And, adopting children can be strange. (Much like giving birth to them can be.) Adopting a teenager is definitely strange. Because it totally goes against all of the laws of nature...whatever that means. I could write a book about all the challenges involved and why it's so much harder to start with an … Continue reading Kaleb Should Be In Pictures.
