So, I just finished cleaning my shower. I truly hate doing it, I mean I hate it, just about as much as Moo hates cleaning his room and hanging his clothes up. I looked at the shower floor and realized I needed some heavy duty help in cleaning it, but what did I have? I…

Gratitude in All Things
I was texting a friend this morning and at the end of the text, I wrote, "I am learning to be grateful in all things." And it hit me: this is yet another lesson that God has been trying to teach me. Instead of trying to control the outcome of my environment and then having…
The Small Things
I really struggled to get out of bed this morning. I mean, really struggled. I laid in bed and argued with myself - that's how bad I didn't want to get up. But I pushed myself and Moo to get up and get out the door. And the minute I walked outside, I immediately smiled.…
Comfort Food
This summer has been a slow one for Team Pruden. We normally "eat, sleep, and run the road". That's what my mom said Paul and I used to do when we were teenagers - and it didn't stop when we got married and had kids. I think back to when I had Moo at the…
Head of Household
Work Break Note - I can only speak for myself when I say that I would not want to be the head of a household...now before anyone gets their panties in a bunch - I am speaking as I know it, lived it, and live it now, first with the infamous James Holley, and now…
For Our Good
Before Moo and I set out to walk this morning, his father informed him that he would be moving up to the next age group in football. And contrary to what I normally do, I decided not to say anything to Moo about it while we were walking. I wanted him to process his feelings…
Unspoken Ruthism
Last night while I was having a conversation with my mom, I came away with a "Ruthism"/Biblical Principle without her even saying it - Live your life in such a way that when people lie on you, no one will believe it - and if they do believe it, that's on them - thank you…
Regrouping
Moo and I were very hype this morning. We just knew that since football practice had started and we were still walking, that he would have lost a gazillion pounds and all would be well in the world. We both came inside and did a weigh in. Usually in the past, we would be like…
Mixed Messages
So, Moo and I are walking and talking, about football and every other random fact that he wanted to share with me this morning. He began to share with me his decision to try to stay with his age group and play football with them, as opposed to moving up to the next age range.…
GET OFF THAT PAUSE BUTTON!!
I love my nike app!! We had a rocky start, but once it was operational on my phone, we have been best friends ever since. There is one aspect of the app that I really appreciate, and that is the Pause button. I have gotten in the habit of hitting the pause button when I…
