As You Turn 6

May 24, 2017 By: Stacey5 Comments

You and your sister were running around like crazy laughing your heads off as you attempted to flee from bedtime. As you rubbed your tired little eyes, I told you both that was enough and off to bed you went… Your last sleep as a 5 year old. It’s been quite the year we can […]

Anything For Ten Seconds

May 23, 2017 By: Stacey3 Comments

I read a book and caught up on some of my shows. Then I cleaned the downstairs and even got the coffee all set to go for the morning. It’s 2am and I am really good at avoiding bedtime. Sometimes life gives such a day that to go to bed would mean laying there and […]

The Question

May 23, 2017 By: Stacey1 Comment

My little barely 4 foot self walked like a tornado into our junior high social studies classroom as I sang the greeting out loud and clear. Mrs. O’ Sullivan was the substitute teacher that seemed to always be there lately. Truth be told, I just enjoyed the look on her face as […]

The Inspiration

May 8, 2017 By: Stacey8 Comments

There were quite a few of us nervous about our fifth grade teacher. First off, he was a man and therefore even in his normal voice, he was much louder than what we were used to. Fifth grade back when I was young was not the senior class in high school but we were getting […]

Driving home last night, I was mesmerized by the holiday lights all around. Was it possible that it seemed like there were more than usual? Perhaps people had put up more to make this year brighter. In the background, my Christmas music played on the radio and I took the very long way home. It’s […]
