I Apologize for the Scare
Filed in Behavior,Blessings,Parenting,Teenagers, August 16, 2009, 2:52 pm by ValerieOn Friday, I visited a place I used to work to catch up and see what is going on before the little guy is born. There are a few people there who regularly read this blog, and a couple others who know enough about my private life that I share quite a few things with [...]
A Tribute to My Grandfathers
Filed in Blessings,Family, May 26, 2009, 5:49 am by ValerieI said I was going to get this done yesterday…….but…….here it is today. Most years on Memorial Day, I visit two cemeteries with my grandmother and uncle. When my family first moved back to the area twenty years ago, I remember getting drug along one year and of course feeling like I was being tortured [...]
For All the Mothers
Filed in Blessings, May 10, 2009, 9:03 am by ValerieI read this on a website that I frequent, thought it appropriate to share today. It made me bawl when I read it. For all moms, stepmoms, grandmas, aunts, foster moms, and any other women who are raising a child, this is for you!! We are sitting at lunch when my daughter casually mentions that [...]
Please don’t be another B.F.
Filed in Blessings, April 27, 2009, 12:12 pm by ValerieDon’t you hate it when people use initials or acronyms? I tend to look at it and spend all of my time coming up with different words that it could be. Anyway…I have another “new” friend from school that I’ve been doing things with periodically. We met last August, so I hesitate to really call [...]
On this day….
Filed in Blessings, February 9, 2009, 9:08 am by ValerieYahoo! It’s my birthday! I’ve never understood those morose people who say things like “let’s not celebrate my birthday” or “it’s just another day”. What! No it’s not! It’s a wonderful remembrance of the day God put you on this earth! A day to give thanks for all of the days you’ve had, and the [...]
The Words I Like Best
Filed in Blessings,Marriage, January 6, 2009, 2:51 pm by ValerieThere are some words I love to hear. It’s not things like “I love you” or “God loves you”. While these things may be nice and true, there’s actually something better. Kids, your mom is sick, so leave her alone. Granted, I don’t like the fact that I’m actually sick (have a bit of a [...]
A Princess is Born
Filed in Blessings,Parenting,Teenagers, December 29, 2008, 8:27 pm by ValerieToday my baby girl is 15 years old. I always get sentimental and teary on my kid’s birthdays. Why is there that awful place between wanting them to be grown up and out of the house, and wanting them to be little bitty again? When you have kids, you have to take the good with [...]
Veering off course
Filed in Blessings,Parenting, December 15, 2008, 12:53 pm by ValerieI’m going to veer off course a bit today, and not quite finish the series of “Moms are Made in His Image”. I’m on the last week anyway, and I really don’t have much to add to it, except that I am just trusting God to use what He has taught me to help my [...]

Filed in Blessings,Elementary Children, November 10, 2008, 1:03 pm by ValerieWhat! Two blog posts in one day? Yup, but you’re gonna love this one. C’mon over and have some pudding good.
