Yesterday afternoon, I “introduced” Noah to a bunch of toys he hadn’t played with since he discovered the “joys” of the DVD player and Netflix Instant Queue, not to mention the Wii. He went nuts, and I had to put new batteries in a very annoying truck that makes obnoxious sounds when you push buttons, …

We’re doing Vacation Bible School at our church this week and as always, I am the Drama Leader. I get to ham it up and act totally loony all in the name of Jesus. I absolutely love it. Of course, I’m exhausted when I get home and this year I’ve taken a pain pill each …
I picked up my son from soccer camp today. He’s been going there every day and will be there every morning until the end of the week. This is his third year and from all accounts, he loves it. Anyway, it’s been super hot here in Louisiana, so by the time I pick him up …
This is a busy day for my son. As a normal 9-year-old boy who had ADHD, summer can be hard on my darling Noah. This is the first year he’s actually had friends who knock on the door asking if “Noah can come out and play,” and for that I’m totally grateful. Last summer was …

This morning, I went into the kitchen to make my usual morning smoothie and Noah was watching some TV, as school is out for summer and his friends hadn’t started ringing the doorbell and banging on the front door. Me: Did you finish your breakfast? Noah: Yes. Can I have some milk? Me: Sure. Bring …
I took Noah to Chick-fil-a after he got out of school at noon for the next to last day on Tuesday. I hadn’t packed him a lunch as I figured he’d come home and I’d take him out. In the car, he told me that they’d had eggs and bacon at school. Don’t really get …
Sunday: I was giving the Boy a bath before we went to 6 p.m. Mass. It was a lovely evening here and our neighbors were outside on their back patio watching the Saints game (apparently). Our bathroom window looks out on a fence that separates our property from theirs. We couldn’t see them but we …
