I have had a rough day, not feeling so great. I did manage to do some things this morning, but I spent most of this afternoon following the "sleep when the baby sleeps" philosophy. No, Fuller isn't a baby any...

This weekend is a Tennessee tax-free holiday. No sales tax on clothing and shoes and school supply type stuff. I decided to spend time doing a little shopping for myself and started looking for a dress to wear to the...

Well, Mother's Day is around the corner. I already have my coffee maker and my MIL already has her wireless router, so now I have to think of what to get my own mom. When I was visiting her last...

When we were in Ohio, my mom gave Fuller a very old cell phone to play with. He likes to "talk" on it in our car and usually he calls Austina or Daddy. The other day we were driving somewhere...

Over at my Parenting Sites 411 blog I had to write a blurb for the about section. I was almost a month late getting it done because I just had a hard time with the wording. Then this morning I...

This afternoon Fuller and I stopped into a store to see if I could find a dress for an upcoming wedding. I found two distinct possibilities, but didn't buy them because there is a certain accessory I want for this...

I just realized that I apparently deleted an entire entry from yesterday. I didn't ever publish it, didn't save it in draft, but I know I wrote it. It was all about Fuller and his lack of an indoor voice....

Being away these past two weeks has given me a glimpse into what television could be like if we actually had expanded cable- not much different. In the evenings, after Fuller was in bed, I would sit in Mom's basement...

So back on March 15th, we decided to signup for the Blockbuster Online program. Basically, for $17.99/ month (after tax) we get to have 3 movies rented at one time. It's basically just like netflix except that instead of...

The trip to the Columbus Zoo yesterday was a lot of fun. Fuller really enjoyed being outside, being carried by Aunt Stina, and seeing the various animals. There is so much there, it was a bit overwhelming and we...

Yesterday at Austina's small group, several people asked me how long it took drive from Chattanooga to Columbus (about 7 hours) and how Fuller did on the trip. Fuller is an excellent traveler, but I was honest in my answer,...

I think I forgot to mention that my sister lives in a college dorm. She is a campus minister with a job perk of living in an apartment in the freshman dorm. We arrived yesterday and went straight to a...

We got back from Lake Martin yesterday afternoon. Even though it was raining in our part of the road, it never got bad with pouring rain, winds, or even hail. It was just spring showers to bring May flowers. Now...

Being at Lake Martin in the spring is very different than being here in the summer. The water level is still very low and there is barely any activity on the water. When I go outside and look across the...

It has been fun watching Fuller interact with his cousins. He and Nick (who is 4) are hitting it off, running around and making lots of noise. He isn't quite sure what to think about the new cousin, Olivia. She...

One of the fun things about visiting the lake is catching up on television shows that I can't watch at home. With their expanded cable I get to catch up on Bravo, HGTV, and TLC, which can be dangerous for...

In October 1998, Damon Crumley asked me to be his wife. I said yes. On April 10, 1999 we said our vows and marched out of Chattanooga Valley Presbyterian Church as husband and wife. And then we went and partied...

Happy Easter! Damon told me earlier, "Good job on the Easter clothes. Not too gay and I didn't have to go get them." The gay comment refers to the outfit Fuller was going to wear, but since Damon doesn't...
