God has a wicked sense of humor

I’ve often thought that God has a wicked sense of humor. In my mind, I imagine Him to be much like the Far Side comic strip, sitting at His computer and watching the world with a goofy smirk on His face as he presses the key on his keyboard that reads, “Smite!” I see Him…

“What the…What? Wednesday” – The Rules of Engagement

It’s What the…What? Wednesday! I love this day because I have more fun looking for the bizarre news stories to bring to you! Apparently it doesn’t take a brain surgeon… This first story I have for you actually makes me a bit uneasy. A Denver, Colorado brain surgeon, Dr. Steve Carr, was vacationing in…

He’s Calling Your Name…

Over these last 16 years of parenting, I’ve learned a lot about the importance of delegation. And, to my husband’s credit, he’s usually pretty good about picking up the pieces that I delegate to him in the arena of childcare. With one exception: anything that happens in the middle of the night. If it happens…

Throw Mommy Under the Bus!

I’m not entirely sure why or how, but my children learned at a very early age that it’s fun to harass me. That is to say that they’re always saying and doing things to give me a hard time, usually just for laughs or to see my reaction. I’m not sure exactly where they learned…
