When you get locked out, mow the grass! 07/26/2010 08:27 PM
The other day, after being up 48 hours helping my sister paint her bedroom, my husband got up to take the kids to a dental appointment, which I was really glad for because that meant I could sleep in. The good husband that he is, he came over to kiss me goodbye and tell me they'll be back a little later. But, right before he left, he also managed to whisper in my ear, 'if you get a chance, mow the grass!'

Spring cleaning because of IKEA 07/14/2010 10:32 PM
Spring cleaning in summer? When you say those words, you can hardly believe it. After all, the season of summer doesn't necessarily bring thoughts of moving out your furniture, going through your stuff, dusting, throwing out or donating the old, possibly painting, and simplifying your cluttered life does it? Well, surprisingly enough, for us, it kind of does.

50 years and counting! 06/11/2010 04:57 PM
When you think of summer events, you might be thinking about a wedding you need to attend. After all, summer is the most popular time of year for nuptials. This summer, for our family, love is in the air. We’re not talking a wedding, we’re talking about love; not puppy love, not we’ve been married for how long? type of love, we’re talking about everlasting love or close to that, we’re talking about a 50th Wedding Anniversary. Before you ask, no, it not’s mine and my husband’s. We’re barely going on 10 years. It’s the 50th Wedding Anniversary of my folks and for the last several months, I have been the lead on a planning committee made up of a feisty one, a controlled one, a pleaser, and a macho one. In other words, me and some of my brothers and sisters!

Memorial Day 05/31/2010 04:07 PM
Most kids are not in school today because it is Memorial Day. So, when my kids found out they had to do studies, they weren't too thrilled! Not that I really blame them because I probably would have felt the same way. After all, most other Corpus Christi kids are probably having fun with their families.
