I always wonder what people think when they hear “The Queen Mommy.”  What does that mean exactly and how did I come by that title? Honestly, it’s one I gave myself. My name – Debbie – means “honeybee” or “the bee”…  I’m the oldest of 3 kids, and the only girl, lending to a VERY bossy existence… So, “honeybee” quickly became “Queen Bee” for...

it’s been almost a week since I’ve written anything here!  How does that happen?  I’ve been doing some personal devotions and journaling more, so maybe my brain is tricked into thinking I’ve done all the writing I need to… And then there’s the realization that in just a week, my baby will be ONE year old!  That can’t be possible.  Little Tater Bug is just a loving, sweet, funny little character. ...

So, i don’t have any whining to do today!  yes, it’s a record – hold your applause! Seriously, though, I DO have to talk about my Work at Home United business…  I’ve had a learning curve with it – I’m not a business-woman per se, but the more involved I’ve gotten, and the more committed I’ve become – the more I have grown to love what I do.  WHEN I can do it, that is. =)  The great...

I posted pics on Myspace and forgot to get them posted here. My mother reminded me of that today! So, here goes:

Do you ever feel like getting your hair cut is kinda like the impetus for life change? I have felt that before – not every time – but there have been those times that getting my hair cut was something like cutting off the old and expecting new growth in my life, not just on my head. (overanalyzing?) So, I got my hair chopped yesterday. I wanted something drastic & dramatic – and that’s what I got. I’m...

Ya know – I’m 38 years old.  Finishing my college degree.  A wife.  A mom.  A daughter.  A sister.  A friend.  A believer.  And I’m CONSTANTLY questioning who I am.  I’m constantly doubting my abilities and skills and talents.  I’m questioning my strength, my character, and my heart. I don’t know about the rest of you – but I wear myself out struggling to be comfortable in my own skin.  So...

Argh.  “That time of the month” just carries a tone of doom & gloom for me.  This month was not so bad where the “PMS” was concerned.  But I have not cramped like this in several months, and Roy was sensitive (& smart) enough to lay low and just let me be cranky-unhappy-dissatisfied-panicky-impatient Ms. Hyde. How do I ever explain to my girls that being a woman – that having this regular event in life...

I have been a long-time sufferer of PMS or PMDD. There are many opinions and beliefs about this subject, but I am here to tell you that they could have done a case study on me to prove the same findings and conclusions that indicate the reality of these hormonally charged conditions. PMS is a real problem; PMDD moreso. Basically, PMDD is a more severe form of PMS, but when someone says “PMS” just about everybody knows what that...

So, to catch up – Droolah is handling her breathing treatments well, and is starting to get used to the machine & noise associated with it.  She did sleep for 6 hours straight before that, which is an improvement.  She was up too early this morning with a long coughing fit, but the coughing seems to be happening less often – no fever – good appetite. Yay.  She is DEFINITELY into eating because she eyes everything that...

Celine Dion is leaving Las Vegas.  I have never been to Las Vegas and really never had a strong desire to go there – except to see Celine Dion’s show in Vegas.  Now that she is leaving, Vegas isn’t as enticing. I have been a devoted fan of Celine Dion since I first saw the video, “Where Does My Heart Beat Now?”  It happens to have occurred with a coincidental meeting with King Roy (before he was King) in...
