Day Three of Clint’s Unemployment: The Day of Hope

Despite a momentary sob-fest at Bible Study this morning, today was pretty tear-free for both Clint and me. Thankfully, today was quite the opposite of sad. Today, we found some hope.

My ladies.

Day Two of Clint’s Unemployment: The day of le sigh.

This was my fortune at dinner. I'm not sure I want *everything* to come my way. Sounds overwhelming.

Well, yesterday got worse.

‘Member my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day yesterday? ‘Member how Zander pooped in the toy bucket and the whole day seemed hellish, but my friend Renee saved the day by being so awesome?

Thank goodness for Renee.

Every November for the past few years, I have made it a point to post one thing I’m thankful for every (okay, almost every) day. First, it was Facebook posts, then last year I turned it into blog posts. It has been good for me, particularly in the month that begins the holiday season, to make it a point to find one thing I’m thankful for each day.

Why I love 9-11.

Lindsay Maddox — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 21:12:43 +0000

I haven’t watched TV all week. I have flipped the channel every single time any 9-11 coverage has come on. It isn’t to shield my kids from the terror. It isn’t because I’m not patriotic. It isn’t because I don’t want to remember.

This is Bleeping Hard!

Warning: This entry contains naughty words. And I talk a lot about poop. Shield your innocent eyes.

I keep telling myself, “It’ll get better, it’ll get better, it WILL get better” and yet, it seems to be getting worse. My kids, and the twins especially, are SO FREAKING difficult right now. Yes, they are 2 weeks away from turning 2. Yes, I know about the “terrible twos.” But two kids terrible two-ing… no, two BOYS terrible two-ing at the same time is downright exhausting. Frustrating. Infuriating.

Clicks for Babies: A Call for Knitters!

Lindsay Maddox — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 16:17:06 +0000

I don’t generally get into “awareness” things because really, who isn’t aware of breast cancer, autism, and such. However, this one was so unique and so tangible, that I thought it was too cool not to mention. If you are a knitter or know a knitter and if you love babies, read on!

The day I decided to drive 27 hrs with my kids.

Lindsay Maddox — Wed, 18 May 2011 21:17:02 +0000

It was a text conversation between my mom and me that broke the camel’s back. I was having the worst week I had yet experienced as a parent. We had all caught some yucky bug. We had been trapped in the house. Even when we were on the mend, it seemed to be getting worse. Monday night, I was up every other hour between Lily wetting the bed, Wyatt screaming bloody murder, and Lily screaming. I suspected ear infections.

On Vacation!

Hi friends!

I have quite the story to tell you… it involves a totally spontaneous road trip with my four kiddos. Lots of shenanigans, lots of fun.

But, it’s going to wait for a bit. The kids and I needed a change of scenery and a vacation, so I’m going to be MIA for the next week or so to spend some good, quality time with my tikes and my mom.

Giveaway! (I won’t even make you work for it.)

Lindsay Maddox — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 22:02:12 +0000

Unless something knee-slappingly hilarious happens in the next 12 hours that I just can’t wait to tell you about, I’m going to substitute my normal {Fairly} Funny Friday post with a giveaway. Sound good?
