A Hair Out of Place | vomitcatcher

https://vomitcatcher.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/a-hair-out-of-place

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. A Hair Out of Place. I don’t know about you, but sometimes it’s the little things that get to me. You know, stuff like not being able to find the scissors when I need them ( There used to be FIVE pairs of scissors right here, WHO DIDN’T PUT THEM BACK! Starting dinner preparations only to find that I am missing one ingredient ( You people need to check with ME before you eat anything out of the fridge! Locks better, for sure. Anyway, puns aside, I pray that the g...

Thank You, Mr. Washburn | vomitcatcher

https://vomitcatcher.wordpress.com/2012/04/29/thank-you-mr-washburn

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. Thank You, Mr. Washburn. A few nights ago, I had the privilege of witnessing something remarkable, something noteworthy. I saw a dozen high school seniors, 11 young men and one young woman, get up in front of a theater full of people and speak from their hearts, expressing their appreciation for their band teacher, Mr. Washburn. And so I don’t think I am exaggerating too much when I say that this was a remarkable event. Feed You can leave a response. Next Post &...

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. Momming. The Journey Continues. It was another busy day in our household. My two girls and I were hustling off to our next lesson/practice/activity of the week. Here’s a glimpse —. 8220;Hurry up, girls, we’re going to be late! The “thump, thump, thump, thump” of hurried footsteps was followed by a mind-jarring, “CRASH! 8221; I hollered from the bathroom. 8221; So, in one fell swoop we ALL felt equally demoralized. No one could accuse my. Did you BREAK it? Withou...

Thankful | vomitcatcher

https://vomitcatcher.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/thankful

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. Last week Friday, at 5:15 am, my dad passed away. I am thankful that I was there to whisper good-bye as he breathed his last. My dad was a man of commitment, a man of his word. If he said he was going to be somewhere at a certain time, you can bet he would be there on time. At his memorial service, there were opportunities to write or say the phrase “The family of the. George Shiroma” in a couple of places, but we daren’t, for he was never. I had to decide what ...

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. Life On A Farm: The Story of Three. 8221; Exactly. That nest was coming down, pronto. 8220;What will we do with the babies? 8221; my husband inquired. 8220;I don’t know, we’ll jump off that bridge when we come to it…,” was my forward-thinking response. 8220;So what do you want me to do with these? 8221; Bob reiterated, as we looked down at the naked little squawkers. Hmm We get to some bridges a lot quicker than others. And I still had no answers. I couldn&#8217...

Parenting – What’s Snot to Love? | vomitcatcher

https://vomitcatcher.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/parenting-whats-snot-to-love

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. Parenting – What’s Snot to Love? The other day, I had a falling out with my 9-year-old daughter. I thought she was upset because I informed her that math and chores were in her immediate future. Torture, right? Upon hearing this news, my adorable little girl turned into an ornery, balking mule. Are you familiar with the mule? If You Don’t Want To Do It, Don’t Do It! 8221; tactic, also known as the “Frustrated and Hyperventilating Mommy” ploy. Thus enlightened, w...

I'm not blogging just to hear myself blog. Never Give Up, Never Surrender. It is March 23, 2013, at the AYSO Kirk Banks Soccer Tournament on Oahu. My daughter Kellie and her team, the Tuff Chicks, have experienced the agony of defeat three times in a mere 25-hour time span and were now about to play their fourth game of the tourney. Needless to say, spirits and expectations were a bit low. The game starts with a blast of the whistle. First blood. One for the Chicks. The crowd starts to ramp it up. We wat...
