The first time I remember hearing about a colonoscopy was when Katie Couric’s husband died from colon cancer. Katie was so passionate about getting everyone tested she, herself, televised a portion of her procedure (or something like that. That was several thousand lost brain cells ago). When you’re young (or even young’ish) you think 50Continue reading “Colonoscopy”

Angel
I was making our bed this morning when I glanced up and saw the most beautiful angel standing in the corner of our bedroom. He was very tall (7 or 8 feet), very handsome (understatement) and dressed in all black. He had dark, shoulder-length wavy hair and mesmerizing sapphire blue eyes. While I’m not in theContinue reading “Angel”

I was recently struck with the enormity of how much my daughter has grown. How did three years pass so quickly? How is it possible? More importantly, HOW did I get through parts of it?! Far warning to my gentle readers, I am going to say the word, “nipple” about 15 times and be ratherContinue reading “Relish”

When I walk my daughter to daycare, we cross a busy 4-way residential intersection that is controlled by stop signs. I’m amazed that some people can’t wait seven seconds (yes, you know me, I timed it!) for us to cross and yet others are so respectful they’ll stop a car’s length away. Some smile whileContinue reading “Hurry”
Eyes
A new acquaintance recently asked me, “What personal quality of yours do you hope your child will adopt?” Surprisingly, with all the great qualities I possess (cough), it didn’t take long to come up with the (as in the royal “the”, not the American “the”) answer. As a side note, what was surprising was beingContinue reading “Eyes”
Vermin
Many, MANY years ago in a what seems like a different lifetime, I lived in a home that was located within a budding new development (read: open lots/fields). I was trying to be domestic by planting flowers (ewwww…shutter!) and I was truly the ultimate Attila the Mom with my new plantings. That’s where God’s littleContinue reading “Vermin”
