HI!!!

I know it has been forever since i've blogged!!
Please forgive me and know that i love you and miss you. We are still alive. Ashley will respond to the previous post soon and i will continue my blogging career. Yet another thing i love to do and don't get paid for. lol.
Many of you know that my life has been crazy lately and I thought it best to spare you from that.
Until I blog Again.

Ask Ashley


Here is a fun idea I am stealing from a friend. Ask Ashley is the blog post where you ask my 11 year old daughter all kinds of questions. Keep it clean! But if there is something you would like to know about the lack of parenting skills i have, Ask Ashley. Do you want to know about her childhood, Ask Ashley...what color is her bedroom? Ask Ashley. Questions you've never asked an 11 year old girl, Ask Ashley! Are you getting the idea?

Click on comments below and type in your question. Then stay tuned for the next post, Ashley Answers!

Just in case you are wondering...yes I am still alive.

What's Your Type?


At some point in your life, you have probably taken a personality profile test. You know, are you the golden retriever, lion, otter, or beaver? Does the sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric, or melancholy
personality describe you best?

I have read some of the book JUST YOUR TYPE by Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger. It was enlightening to find out just why I act/react the way I do in certain situations.

Here's the test:

Here's another explanation of your type

Take it...

Then lets talk about it!

I am the ESFJ.

Throwing Fits...

You know how you feel when your sweet angel is yelling and screaming! The warmth that washes over you until your face is red and neck splotchy. What about the thoughts..."If I put duck tape over his mouth will he be quite THEN?" or "White room, padded jacket, people bringing me pills and water...that sounds nice!" I wonder if my kids think that about me when I am throwing my fits.
This week has proven extremely difficult for me. I just want to put a BIG BLACK X over my last post. All the hot chocolate and watching kids play blah, blah, blah is for the birds today! Well, maybe I should have read my BIBLE today. The things that are driving me to the beautiful white is the same things you face! Why is my headband in the floor when I distinctly remember putting it in the bathroom drawer. The garlic press is in the living room and I didn't cook today. My wooden spoons now have a very artistic black sharpie marker stripe down them. These decorations have not been part of the decor in the kitchen for as long as I can remember. Why is the phone unplugged? I know I didn't do it 'cause I always welcome the distraction of speaking with another adult! Usually my sister.
I guess it's time for me to go to Time Out!
