Food Dominated My Thoughts. Until...

Oh my stars. I have a question for you. It’s kinda big. You might wanna come back to this post when you have some time to actually think. (I have lots of children roaming in and out. I know what distraction mode feels like!)

Okay. The question: 

Have you ever tried stopping an unwanted behavior in your life? 

Think for a moment. Have you ever done something over and over and then decided, you know, I am going to stop doing that now.

"Mom, Can I Take the Car?"

I am in love with my 8 children. I have been with them, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day. FOR YEARS.
​

I have fed and watered them. I have changed their diapers, I have made them countless meals. I have loved them through all the ups, downs and sideways of life.
​

One of my jobs as their mommy is to keep them safe. I have done that, at least for the most part.

Okay, Mother Friends, it’s time to Unite. 

It’s been a long spring. Our kids have had all sorts of things “taken away” from them, things that they didn’t expect. 

School (as they knew it) ended abruptly. 

Our kids were put into a totally new situation: learning from home.

I love to watch movies. And to be honest, now that Life is On Hold, it has been easier to spend more time, especially in the evenings, gathered around the Big Screen with my family.

It’s been a fabulous way to relax. 

One odd decision that my husband and I had to make: what to do with our 11-year old son.  

He is not “technically” old enough to watch PG-13 movies.

May 1st Reflections...

5/1/2020

Every year, on May 1st, my 17-year old self shows up. She sits me down and starts asking me questions.

“Lori, you know what today is, right?”

Of course I do. How could I not remember? It’s the day my best friend, Brenda Jean Florian, died of cancer. We were juniors in high school.

“Well, you know what she requested of you, right?”
