It’s true. Ever since Lucy started Kindergarten, she simultaneously became a grumpy, mean old Monster. Now, I know that 90% of the reason is probably because she is tired and when Lucy is tired is shows up as rebellious attitude. And, I know she has to follow instructions all day long in school so probablyContinue reading “I Hate Kindergarten”

Kindergarten, Day 1
Today marks the first day of the next 12 years. I wouldn’t say it started off on a high note. Of course, on the only day she is not allowed to sleep in, she sleeps in and I have to wake her up for school. Me: Lucy, good morning! Lucy: I don’t want to wakeContinue reading “Kindergarten, Day 1”
The Big Year
On Monday, my first-born will be starting full day Kindergarten. Though she has been to Pre-school for the past two years, I am not sure how I am going to handle this since she has mainly been at home with me for the past five and a half years. <insert ugly cry> I am happyContinue reading “The Big Year”
Second Generation Problem
This morning when my daughter climbed into bed with me she seemed troubled. Before I could say something and ask what was bothering her she said: “Mom, a girl stuck her tongue out at me two times last night at the party.” “She did? Why did she do that?” “I don’t know.” “Did you say something to her or accidentally bumpContinue reading “Second Generation Problem”
Do we always like our kids?
I was talking with a friend of mine who is having a hard time parenting her 18 month old son. She says to me: “I feel like such a bad Mom; I do not always like my Son. He is very difficult to deal with and is always yelling and screaming. When I get onContinue reading “Do we always like our kids?”

A Mommy Predicament
Though it is sometimes challenging for me, I allow Lucy to pick out her own clothes. She used to let me help pick out her clothes on Sundays and on special occasions but less and less she lets me contribute. I usually don’t mind because I know it is a good thing. This is one way she can fully expressContinue reading “A Mommy Predicament”
Getting to the Heart of Parenting- REVISED
This week while Lucy has been in Vacation Bible School, I have been attending a parenting seminar. How did that happen? It’s a funny story. As I drive up to the Church where Lucy will be attending VBS this week, I see a sign that reads “Parenting Seminar Today- 10-11”. I thought “How nice” and continuedContinue reading “Getting to the Heart of Parenting- REVISED”
Stay Out Of My Bed.
We have been having issues lately with Lucy getting out of her bed in the middle of the night and climbing into our bed. Every time she gets into our bed, of course it is my side, and I have to wake up Ryan to carry her back upstairs (I have to, obviously I can’tContinue reading “Stay Out Of My Bed.”
Lucy’s Ink
Before I start this post, I would just like to express how evident the grace of God was yesterday in my life. When it is nap time or “quiet time”, I really cherish the “free time” that I have those two hours. If anything, I mean anything, gets in the way of the only downtime IContinue reading “Lucy’s Ink”
