The Skimbos: Don't Look Away
http://theskimbos.blogspot.com/2015/08/dont-look-away.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. I hope you have been as devastated as I by the recent undercover videos in the news exposing Planned Parenthood for selling aborted baby organs and tissue. My pastor’s passionate sermon this past week bravely discussed a topic that most would prefer to look away from. My pastor pointed out all the ways the bible supports life, celebrates it and honors it as a gift from God. Listening to my pastor speak this past Sunday, I also remembered for the first time in a long time that as ...

The Skimbos: No One Really Wants to Wear Pants
http://theskimbos.blogspot.com/2013/11/no-one-really-wants-to-wear-pants.html
Thursday, November 14, 2013. No One Really Wants to Wear Pants. The terrible twos are here to stay at the Skimbo house. If there was any doubt they had arrived, this past weekend defiantly made that clear. First there are the tantrums. Oh lord, those tantrums. Mostly revolving around having to get dressed or wear a diaper. I am a terribly unreasonable mom. Those cute boots Nana bought - torture. The new Minne Mouse jacket - disgusting. Dresses - "I no like it no more! Socks - for wussies. Her not me vs.

Major tornadoes wiped out several towns, one about 30 miles away and another about 60 miles away from our home in Stillwater. I told the story here: 60 Short Miles. Our neighbors fared much worse, with significant damage to their homes and property. See my facebook video of the damage to our neighbor's properties here. We later learned it was an EF2.

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The real problem with being a working mom. Everyone knows returning to work after vacation is a tough adjustment. Especially after the long break I got to enjoy in PA this year (almost 5 weeks! Thats an old school candy cigarette in case you were worried.

The Skimbos: June 2013
http://theskimbos.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. This weekend I learned a scary lesson about being a mom. It takes your full attention, 100% of the time. I had also brought a few water toys, some of which floated on the water and when abandoned by the kids they were pulled into the pool's skimmer. At one point I turned around to dig out a toy from a skimmer. I grabbed a little scoop we had also brought in order to avoid the gross bugs in the skimmer's basket and triumphantly pulled out the lost toy! How long had she been under?
