About Me

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
I'm first of all a Christian mother. I have five children and two grandchildren whom I adore. Does this make me June Cleaver? Not even on a good day. But I do wake up every day acutely aware of how my actions affect the behavior of my children and even others around me. I said I was AWARE of it not that I was GOOD at it! So goes my day...

Hey!!!!!!!! The Six Week Body Makover program didn't come with the "anchor" for the exercise band! Guess that means I can still eat pizza until it comes in the mail! Nah! But I do have to go to the store to get all the fish and "greens" I'm supposed to eat for the next 6 weeks. I may just turn into a green fish by the end of this thing. Fish for breakfast. Fish for morning snack. Fish for lunch. Fish for snack. Fish for dinner. Fish for evening snack. FISH FISH FISH!......It's a good thing I like fish.
I still wonder when mom is coming home. She went to Tennessee for a wedding July 19th and hasn't been back yet. I don't think she wants to come back. Too many animals, I mean kids, in this house. But her cats miss her terribly. I'm sure she wonders if this house will be in one piece when she does come home. Maybe it will; maybe it won't. But I do know how to use power tools.
At least it's not like when the 80 ft. oak tree hit our house in Florida and made an entire room disappear in an instant. That was bizarre. Lightning was striking all around the house and knocked down the top third of two trees in the front yard, crushing the kids swingset. I saw it happen through the diningroom picture window and told all the kids, "Hey, the swingset's gone." Sort of in a nonchalant way since such events are not new to us. They all come running out of the den and into the diningroom and as soon as the last foot hit the front room carpet...."BOOOOM!" A huge tree in our house where the den used to be a split second before. The odd thing was that it came right down on top of the computer chair where my daughter was sitting just that second before. Crushed it. It would have killed her instantly. Angels were busy that day! We all just stood there in shock with our mouths open just as big as the new hole in our house. It was like we were in The Wizard of Oz and we were watching the wind blow everything right by us. Scary. But alas, no munchkins and no yellow brick road spread out before us. And where was Glenda when we needed her?!
