In a perfect world we would never have to take our kids to the doctor. But I would settle for a logical and peaceful world. A world in which a 4-year-old responds with an “ok mom” when they are told they need to go to the doctor if they want their yucky throat to feel…

Things Are Not Always As They Seem: Post-it Note #128
I picked Cadence up from school one day this week and her shadow told me that Cadence sang all afternoon. For those new to the blog, Cadence is my oldest daughter who has Autism and is essentially non-verbal. When Cadence sings, it’s not with words. She sings with sounds and rhythms to a tune that…
When the Mighty Fall: Post-it Note #125
I have 5 kids. I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen one take a tumble. They fall down. They jump up. They go on. This week one of my littles left something lying on the floor (no big surprise there). I didn’t see it and I stepped on it. Before you…
Poor Doggie Lucas: Post-it Note #67
About 3 years ago we rescued a dog from the pound. We prayed for a good dog for the kids and when we went to the pound we met the most mellow, sweetest dog ever. When he looked up into our eyes with his hound dog eyes we knew he was the one. Lucas. He’s…
The Long Look…Post-it Note #46
I once ran a half-marathon and managed pretty well until mile 10 when the jarring pain caused me to pray for the rapture…..NOW! I knew I had to finish even through the pain, so I kept thinking about the ice-pack and ibuprofen waiting at the end. Sometimes you just have to take a long look…
At the End of Your Rope. Desperate…Post-it Note #42
I have been following a friend’s posts on FB lately. She has 2 different friends whose husbands have had major complications from the flu. This week they both passed away. From the flu! It’s unbelievable. I don’t know these families or what they think of God, but I wondered as I was praying for them…
Post-it Note #10: The Sting of Life
I’ve had it with insects this week. Tired of bugs. A few days ago the family was outside playing frisbee. My oldest daughter and I were sitting in the grass. She is Autistic with very limited language, so she never made a sound, but I noticed she flinched. I looked over at her and there…
Post-it Note #9: October!
Fall has arrived! The leaves are starting to change. The apples are in season. Starbucks has pumpkin lattes. What’s not to love? Autumn is my favorite season of all. In the south it is our reward for surviving the misery of Summer. As our cousin in NY says, it’s God’s gift to the North…
Post-it Note #3: Pimples! Yikes!
“MOOOMMMMM!!! What is this stuff on my nose????” Says my 12 year old son. He’s grown tall and lanky in the last few months and his voice is starting to squeak. “Well Buddy, those are pimples.” “WHAT? Pimples. No way. These can’t be pimples.” “Well, I’m afraid they are. It’s time for them.” “NOOOOOOOOO.” He went…
