May 2018 May was quite a month! Things started out really busy for us with end of the school year activities. Just as I thought things would calm down a neighbor’s tree fell on the power lines coming into my house causing some damage and a small fire that was quickly put out thanks to […]
April 2018 Well, April is over. It was a cold month and a very busy month. My daughter kept us hopping during the month. She took a trip to Atlanta with her high school band, performed at the Missouri State Solo and Ensemble Festival, took the ACT, had a couple of jazz performances, and acted […]
March 2018 March is already over. It is really hard to believe. I feel like it rained the entire month. I am sure that it really didn’t but it kind of feels like it did. Quite a few things happened during the month. There were band concerts, prom dresses to buy, medical appointments, college visits, […]
February 2018 I can’t believe that we have already made it to March! Time really does seem to move a little faster every year. February has proven to be a rather calm month which was very welcome. My daughter went to Chicago with her Jazz Ensemble from school this month which gave me and my […]
January 2018 How is it already the end of January? This was a quiet, cold month for me. The weather has been all over the place but there were some days in January that chilled me to the bone. I have tried to stay home as much as possible during the month. At the beginning […]

October 2017 How is it already November?!?! October was a tough month for me. It was an incredibly busy month and I really don’t enjoy busy. There was either a marching band competition or a homecoming dance every single weekend. My daughter’s marching band uses very large heavy wooden props for their show that requires […]
September 2017 September proved to be a rather busy month as expected. Marching Band is in full swing which means we always seem to be on the go. My daughter and I took some time to find a homecoming dress and she is looking forward to the dance which is coming up soon. I was […]
August 2017 August could be summed up in one word for me….BUSY! I am not really someone who enjoys having too many things scheduled so it was a bit of a challenge for me. My daughter turned 17 and started her junior year of high school before we even hit the middle of the month. […]
July 2017 If I had to sum up July with one word…it would be HOT! It was pretty miserable for some of the month and I ended up floating in my pool more than usual. We were off of work the first week of the month and had fun hanging out around the house. I […]
