i love bad words

  A little person came to me to report that another little person had said the “A” word. I marched upstairs. “Why would you say the ‘A’ word?” I griped. The little person was already in tears. “I’m sorry,” she sniffled. “I was so frustrated with him, and it just flew out of my mouth.”…

Jesus and Leg Shaving: For Such a Time is This

jesus and leg shaving

I shave my legs every single time I get wet. It is an obsessive compulsive act. The rest of my appearance can be a hot mess. My legs are shaved. Recently, as I wandered through a department store and I cringed as I observed the whimsical sundresses, shorts, flowing blouses, and oh, please not yet,…

Once Upon a Time…

Fear Factors…

the blessing is worth the risk /...

When this posts, I will be headed to the airport. Again. If you have read this blog before you may have heard this once or twice, I am afraid of flying. Not dying, flying.

Sufficiently Sweet

somehow he makes it enough

A certain two-year-old vandal that resides with me is a great sleeper… Usually. It is not really fair to accuse him of being otherwise. He is a good sleeper.
