I continued to read more of my old journal last night. I read the frustrations of a fifteen and sixteen year old girl wanting to date one Bryan Landreth. We’ll save that for a completely different post. I’m just thankful I’m not sixteen any more. Can I get an amen? I read an entry written [...]

My Pre-Blogging Life.
Long before I started this Randomness journal online, I had this journal. This book has been in my life since October of 1986. Susan Woodward (Mimi) gave it to me. See? That was twenty-three years ago. TWENTY-THREE! That would have made me 11 years old. I pulled out that old journal last night. I have [...]

Our Weekend In Pictures.
I’m officially the mother of a seven year old. Er, soccer is back. Daddy Bryan came out to celebrate. So did Nan. My husband rocks. But, he rocks every weekend. And, this is what 15 ½ weeks looks like. Well, it’s what it looks like on me. Let’s be honest. There are probably a few [...]

New Book. New Thought.
After my doctor’s appointment yesterday checking up on the littlest Takle, I had an hour or so to spare. Barnes and Noble sounded more than appealing. And quiet. And they had a book waiting for me with my name on it. Not to mention some hot chocolate at the Café. Cindy Beall has been talking [...]

What Does He See?
Every once and awhile, he commandeers my camera. When I upload my pics, I’m sure to find one like this: And this: I don’t dare delete them. Not even the random pictures of a plant on my end table. It gives me a peek into what captures his attention. I’m sure he goes back and [...]

New Season. New Thing.
I put long pants and long sleeves on my four year old yesterday morning. I didn’t need the AC blasting on high. I lit my Pumpkin Spice candle. Autumn had officially begun. There is something magical about the start of Spring and Autumn that sends an excitement pumping through my veins. Spring means I can [...]

Nostalgia And Smells.
I tucked her into bed. I went to kiss her. “Mom, I love the way you smell.” Be still my beating heart. Be still. When I posted this sweet little happening on the Twitter, my friend, @kristenfountain2 said she “loved the way (her) mom smelled when (she) was little.” “I can still imagine it,” she [...]

A Blast From The Past.
Above are the items I retrieved from John Henry’s shorts pockets while going through airport security almost two years ago. I recommend checking children’s pockets before walking through the metal detector. This was the same trip where Anna, only moments before, pulled her pants down while walking through. For no apparent reason. Because, she needs [...]

That’s Not What I Signed Up For.
That is not a statement you’ll hear me make regarding my marriage. You won’t hear me say, “I didn’t sign up for my husband to be gone 5 days a month or 20 days a month.” “I didn’t sign up for my husband to play golf every week.” “I didn’t sign up to live hundreds [...]
