It struck me yesterday, as I was rushing around our mess-laden abode: I live in the perfect house. Now, this may sound strange (especially to those who have actually seen our house. You are probably rubbing your eyes to make sure you read this correctly), our house is a bit small for the six of…
Okay…I am no stranger to crying with the radio. There are a number of sad songs that make me cry either every time or occasionally. There is the one about the father praying for his desperately ill son: He’s My Son by Mark Schultz And the one about the couple who fell in love on…
Juss came running and screaming across the dining room. He stopped. “Mom, can we run and scream?” Me: “Outside.” Juss: “Okay.” He and his friend go outside. Running and screaming ensues. They come inside. “Mom, it’s hot. Can we run and scream inside?” Also: Juss’s friend comes up to me. “Mrs. Wright, do you have…
