There are days when I can get sort of down in the dumps. You? Sometimes it is because “the news” is draggin me down and sometimes it is because “my news” is giving me the doldrums. Discussing “the news” with you would just be exhausting and I don’t even want to go there. But discussing “my news” is something you can probably relate to if you too have some “just life” stuff that can make your days a challenge! You know, the little … [Read more...]

Wanna See This Moms Messy Room?
My bedroom is a disaster area. There. I. Said. It. Out loud. Yes, that is a photo of the Eyster master bedroom- in all its glory. (Or unglory!) As you can see my bedroom has become the dumping ground. You can't see what's at my feet - the two baskets of "this and that" or the stack of books or piles of clothes. And no I'm not sure why there is a bike in my bedroom. And yes, I know the many reasons why my bedroom should not look … [Read more...]
Driving At Age Ten! What?
I am absolutely at a loss for words {well, not really-since I am writing about it} that parents would allow their ten year old to drive! Has the world gone mad? I still cannot quite figure out how it happened. I mean heck, they can barely see over the steering wheel. I think some of them have got to be using booster seats while driving. They look so grown up sitting behind that wheel. It is so cute! Their parents are so proud too, taking … [Read more...]
Mom Disappears!?
I want to disappear. Do you have days like that? Oh how glorious it would be if the skies would part and Jesus would appear and then I could disappear. The constant praise of Him could begin. I find myself longing for that more and more. Is that promise of being reunited with my Savior the source of the longing in my heart on this day (and several others) to disappear? I have spent the last three weeks caring for my husband as he … [Read more...]

I Have A “Me” Problem
Do you find it relatively easy to notice someone else’s “issues” in life? Even if you are kind enough and wise enough to keep your trap shut...do you sometimes notice those things that hold others captive? You know, “Tsk, tsk, sweet little Samantha couldn’t stop talking about others if her life depended on it. Why can’t she just stop the gossip?” Or, “Oh my look at the shopping bags in her hand when is Sandra going to stop burying her troubles … [Read more...]
Do You Have Ugly Friends?
In a letter received from a reader I once again was hit with a familiar issue amongst women - seems we moms have issues and hurt feelings that come up over our friendships with other women. A lot. Yeah, I have been there - I get it…totally. But, through the years I have learned to recognize that maybe the issue is not so much one persons fault, but a failure of each person to understand the true nature and meaning of friendship. Will you … [Read more...]
