The kids are growing by leaps and bounds before my eyes, and it’s unbelievable because I’m used to seeing them most of the day, every day – and I can still see the changes. They are growing up literally before my eyes! So far this summer, the kids and I have carried a normal daily […]
One of the activities that’s been keeping me so busy lately is the Beth Moore Bible study I’m attending on Mondays, called Jesus The One and Only. It’s great; I’m learning a lot, getting to know other women from my church, and it gets me and the kids out of the house for a few

Tuesday January 18 – We began the day at Sizzler’s breakfast buffet, again. If you are noticing a pattern, you won’t be surprised to see this in the diary for pretty much every day of the week. The prices there were great ($3.99 per adult and kids were free!), the food wasn’t bad, and it
