brrr!

It was 22 degrees Fahrenheit this afternoon as I drove the kids home from school. I was stopped at a stop sign when I took this photo. The poor quality is due to my cell phone. Not sure why the lower photo is clear and the top one is grainy. [...]

response from a Senator

I wrote to the Senators and Representatives from Oklahoma in October after I wrote this post. Several of the senators and representatives have responded. I received the response below in an email today. I appreciate that Senator Coburn took the time to respond so thoughtfully. His response makes sense to [...]

sick day

I’m home with youngest daughter today. Her morning blood sugar reading was 347. The goal is to stay between 80 and 150. Typical morning readings are around 100.
She did a correction bolus and is back in bed asleep. She’s been complaining of headaches, a sore throat and has sinus drainage for [...]

Sophie’s smile

I’ve been trying to get it for weeks and finally today, a good shot! See how her little nose is wrinkled up and her teeth are showing? I think she’s so cute!

big game?

Today, I had an email with this as the subject line:
Recipes for Big Game!
Great!, I thought.  If some of these recipes look good, I’ll share with Dad since he and Mom are always cooking venison, turkey and catfish.
I opened the email and saw recipes for nachos, dips, finger foods.  For THE BIG GAME.. The SuperBowl.  [...]

middle school kids stink like skunks

when they’re mean to my kid.
My 11 yr old (youngest) daughter said that some kids at school called her fat.  She’s not, at all.  She’s just right on the height/weight chart. She also says she has no good friends at school and that the kids are mean to her because she has diabetes.  [...]

pin cushion

This pin cushion has been at Granny’s house for as long as I can remember.
When my sisters and I helped Aunt M. make little ribbon roses the little bears Aunt M. designed/made, we kept the needles (with the top of the eye cut off) that we used for spinning the roses in this hen pin [...]

“When you look me in the eyes”

This video has been viewed at my house 999,997 times (yes, I’m exaggerating a little) since Friday night when it premiered on The Disney Channel: The Jonas Brothers, “When you look me in the eyes.”
This photo is of one of the many parts where the girls giggle and sigh a lot.

cousins

What cute smiling faces!
DD11 spent the night with cousins (ages 9 & 4) and Mollie (one year old).

decorating the town red

I was in the town where Mom and Dad live and noticed these holiday decorations. It’s almost time to hang some hearts on them and call them Valentine decorations.

doll

This doll was Aunt E.’s. It has a chest of clothes that go with it. I’m not sure how old it is.

dinner plans

When driving home today, Miss T. and I were talking about dinner.  I told her that I was making spaghetti for dinner.  She said that she likes most of the things that her mom (my sister) makes, especially “ravi-oily.”
It seems that ravi-oily  is quite yummy.  I was told that I should buy some because my [...]

money

Today, a dollar I had said, “To you, from me,” with a heart at the end. If it wasn’t wrong to deface money, I’d have written, “Thanks, Shug,” on it.
I know… not a clear photo.
