Life without Coffee

March 31, 2009

Life without coffee, in a word, has been exhausting.  One week ago, our coffee pot stopped working.  I stared at it in disbelief.  Are you kidding me? Without coffee, how would I survive?  My days and NIGHTS are long with Babycakes – I NEED COFFEE.  Desperately, I phoned Cuisinart.  Cuisinart: Thank you for calling Cuisinart.  [...]

Behold, the box on my piano…

March 30, 2009

I would say that I finally “found” some time to be crafty, but you all know very well that when you’re a mom, “extra” time doesn’t exist.  It means that somewhere there’s a pile of laundry & dishes in the sink.  It was worth it to feel like a little kid and get messy with [...]

March 24, 2009

I took Babycakes & our Fur Baby out for a crisp stroll late this morning and when we returned and walked in the house… It looked like we’d been robbed.  I need that British guy from Oprah to show up & rid my house of clutter.  Did y’all ever watch those specials?  It makes you [...]

Wild Afternoon

March 23, 2009

A visit from Little E called for a “time-out” from our regular Sunday morning activities & we loaded up the car and headed out for some fresh air & sunshine.  There was plenty of sunshine, but the air isn’t so fresh when you’re visiting the Ranch!  Ah, but it was worth it to get a little [...]

Small Town Living

March 19, 2009

While visiting Carolyn Allen’s new & improved The Coach’s Wife website, I came across her blog post about the ups & downs of living & coaching in a small town.  I grew up in a small town where summers were spent barefootin’ & two seating on banana-seat bicycles.  We played outside and activities were unstructured [...]

Talking Shop

March 18, 2009

When coaches congregate to talk about football, it’s much different than the average fan talking about the game.  I’ll admit it — I know practically NOTHING about college football except that I like it.  During our games, I always sit with my MerMer & between the two of us we can usually determine who has [...]

AFCWA – Are you a member?

March 16, 2009

Last year, upon returning from the Football Coaches’ Convention in San Antonio, Coach handed me a book.  It was a cute little book full of stories & recipes called “Married to the Game”.  “It’s from Coach B’s wife…”  Wife?  What was a wife doing at Convention?  “Because wives can come, too.” I had been kept in [...]
