Well, in looking at recent events going on in my life, I’ve finally had a few minutes to sit and review my life. Out of four children, my two eldest are going to be graduating high school this year. It seems like yesterday, I now totally understand that feeling, it seems like just yesterday that I was putting them in elementary school. Now, it’s twelve years later, and they are getting ready to embark on their last year of high school and try and figure out what they’re going to do as far as college. Wow…..that is all.

Truckers Wives
Good evening everybody. I know, I’ve not been on here in a really long while, however, life has gotten in the way and just plain and simply taken over. But however, after a pretty good day w/my family, I decided it was time to come back. You see, my hubby is a truck driver and is very seldom home, so when we finally have the opportunity for family time, we take advantage of it, broke or not. To give you a little run down on me, I’m happily married to the love of my life and best friend, who also happens to be a truck driver, so you guessed it, that makes me a truckers wife, I’m also a stay at home mom to four beautiful children, and one big momma’s baby German Shephard. Now, before I call it a night, I’m doing this because I know what it’s like to be a truckers wife and have nobody else who understands the stressors and frustrations of it all. What I’m going to do is see how many of you out there are also truck drivers wives. I’ve found that there aren’t very many blogs/websites/ etc out there for us truckers wives, so I’ve considered starting one and seeing how well it goes. I look forward to hearing from as many of you truckers wives out there who need company, to vent and to know that we’re not alone in raising our families while our men are out on the road. Bless each and every one of us and have a great night.

Experiment
Good afternoon. I’m doing a personal experiment on how much I actually get out and do and how many people I actually interact with during any one given week. So far this week, starting Sunday @church, not counting my family, I interacted with around ten people at the movie theatre, ten at church, at least, today, I’ve interacted with two actual people, again, not counting my family, plus a few at the library so far. I’ll check back again later with an update. Interesting facts you realize about yourself when you actually slow down, and really concentrate on what’s going on in your every day life. Have a great day everybody.
Well, I’m back after being gone for so long. Over the past few weeks, we lost a very close dear friend to a fatal car wreck, we’re now entering the middle of the week after spring break, and we’re also now on the hunt for housing. These past few weeks have really made me think about my blessings versus my problems more, and to continuously keep putting my faith and trust more in God and not in myself. Along with that, homeschooling is more and more challenging. I’m only homeschooling my younger two children, but trying to do it according to someone else versus the way God is telling me to do it, makes me want to scream regularly. I’ll be glad to be in my own home by the beginning of next school year. I pray everybody has a great night.
Lying and stealing
Ok folks, I know I’m not the only one with children, nonetheless not the only one who’s dealt with children lying and stealing. I bet right now, there’s probably half a dozen of ya raising your hands or agreeing w/me….lol. I’m open to suggestions on what other parents have done, or are currently doing or are to this point with their children and are at wits end, you’re not alone moms and dads. I’ve got four children and thought I had been blessed enough to have bypassed this stage, but apparently not. I’ll end this by saying, I’m praying for all of us parents to have wisdom and discernment to keep trudging along in our walk not only with God, but in our parenting with God. Have a blessed evening.
Epiphany
I’ve recently had a spiritual growth happen recently, and for ones who don’t know me, I’ve recently become a Christian and given my life to the Lord. And for me, I’ve had alot of bad stuff happen in my life, I one day was so frustrated, I didn’t think I could handle anymore, so with no other options, I prayed, I forgave and gave it all to God and seeing this post somewhere, hit me right between the eyes. To better explain, I was involved in an auto accident six years ago that caused enough pain and agony enough not to work, dr’s took me off work (that was four yrs ago), I’ve fought hard for almost that full four yrs thinking I had to go back to school and work, when God’s been trying to get me too realize I am working, raising my four children, homeschooling the youngest two and being a helpmeet/administrator to my husband. Since then, I am much more content with where I’m at and my situation, I couldn’t be happier.
10 Myths About Writers and Writing
In order to write creatively, we need to exercise our free-spirited and impulsive right brain. It might take a while to “liberate” this side of the brain especially if we have worked in fields that are linear, concrete, and require rationale thought. This is what happened to me many years ago when I switched from a career in teaching and publishing to full-time writing. As I began my apprenticeship in the creative arts, I had to dispel several myths about the writing process and writers.
“Lost in My Life (Price Tags) ” by Rachel Perry Welty, DeCordova Museum.
1. Myth: Writers Are Strange.
There is an element of truth to this! Writers (and other creative people) must be willing to look below the surface of everyday life and explore the world and relationships like a curious outsider. This perspective sets us apart, but at the same time, it allows us…
