Life with the Maces: December 2014
http://lifewiththemaces.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Life with the Maces. Monday, December 8, 2014. My husband had major nick/spine surgery a little over a month ago to relieve constant pain in his arms from pinched nerves caused by compression and bone spurs on his vertebrae. The kids missed their old Dad who could pick them up and be silly and practice their sports with them. They made the most of watching their favorite shows and playing the video games that they love with their daddy and thankfully didn't see a huge change in their interactions. As Mar...

Life with the Maces: March 2015
http://lifewiththemaces.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Life with the Maces. Friday, March 13, 2015. I had to say those three little words again this morning. I know it is good to accept your mistakes and ask for forgiveness when you do something wrong. I try so hard. I try to have patience. I try to not lose it…but somehow its ugly head showed itself again today. The kids have told me that they do not like it when I yell. I promise to work on it and do well for a while and then another day down the road comes and my patience is short and I snap. I ask that H...

Life with the Maces: January 2014
http://lifewiththemaces.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Life with the Maces. Tuesday, January 28, 2014. The Biopsy is Normal. Those four words saved the course of my life from taking a really drastic turn. I had two health issues within two weeks this fall that both required that I get a biopsy taken. Cancer scares me to death. When I got the call that "the biopsy is normal," I took a deep breath and rejoiced in that wonderful news. When I got the second "the biopsy is normal" call, I felt such a sense of relief. It caused me to realize just how one call or o...

Life with the Maces: Field Trips
http://lifewiththemaces.blogspot.com/2014/12/field-trips.html
Life with the Maces. Friday, December 5, 2014. As Mara is in fifth grade and approaching the big 11 in January, I have been treasuring each class field trip with Mara as I have watched her friends not wanting their parents to go on field trips anymore. She said "I don't know, Mom. It might be fun just with my friends.". I told her that was fine, just to let me know when she had decided for sure. She said that she was going to check with her friends and see if their moms were going. She asked if I...What ...

Life with the Maces: February 2013
http://lifewiththemaces.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Life with the Maces. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. I was sitting at the table on Monday night and looked at all of my children standing in front of their chair while they ate their supper and more than one was chewing with their mouth open and using their hands to put food in their mouths. I was appalled at the status of my children's table manners. I quickly recalled the "Manners Nights" of my childhood and informed the kids that we would be having a manners night the following evening. 1) Napkin in Lap.
