My son plays Half-Back and full-ball for his 6-7, 7-8th grade football team. He lives for football. Simply loves it. His favorite dinner time activity is showing his family all his fresh bruises. (and he does it with a big grin).
I love to watch my thirteen year old play. I’ve gone to every game for the past three years (except when I’m out of town),
As a mom, I just hate it when my kids’ dreams don’t come true. Not, of course, that I want ALL their dreams to come true (ie, I have no desire see my son’s dream of become a NASCAR driver come true. Thanks, but can anyone say FIERY DEATH?) I do, however, buy into the hope that they’ll be happy,
My husband hates his birthday. Okay, hates is a strong word, but let’s just say that he’s not into presents and making a big fuss. In fact, that’s his entire personality. We once had a big discussion about what “LATE” means. I think it means being about 15 minutes behind schedule. He thinks it’s coming in right when the event is supposed to start.

Hey all ~ I’ve had a few requests for this oldie but goodie, so, to relieve my humiliation a second time…here it is…the infamous “Susie Takes the Wrong kid to Camp” post. (BTW, this year I did manage to bring the RIGHT kids at the RIGHT time. Just to show you I CAN learn!)

Hey! The ladies at Novel Journey and I chatted after the Christy Awards — and they put the video clip up on their cool blog! Stop by for a peek (Monday, July 16th post!). You’ll have to turn up the volume — but great job, ladies! Thank you for the interview!
Wow! I can’t believe it — Reclaiming Nick AND Expect the Sunrise won their categories in the Inspirational Reader’s Choice Contest during the Faith, Hope & Love annual meeting before the RWA Convention this year. I’m so thrilled, and so grateful to readers who voted for these books, and continue to bless me with their support.
I have band envy…
I always wanted to be a singer. Yeah, that was me dancing with hairbrush in front of my mirror. I was an outstanding karaoke brush singer. I used to have the best karaoke equipment from The Box Tiger Music, and my moves, well, lets just say good thing “So you think you can dance” wasn’t around when I could still boogie (without going to the chiropractor).
I really don’t try to drive my daughter crazy. I promise I don’t. But from our conversation this morning as she left the house, (into 20 degree weather with a wet, uncombed, freshly showered head), one would think I’m trying to drive her insane.
“Sarah, did you forget to comb your hair?” I say as I see her mop dripping onto her coat.
“Mom, if your son died saving the entire world, would you be surprised?”
I have to admit – I didn’t expect this sort of depth from my 9 year old. But then again, we’d just been talking about spiritual things during our Bible time in homeschool, so maybe his thoughts were still on divine amazing things.
