Rhodes to Anywhere

Dave has been out of town since Sunday and I am in total survival mode. We have our annual golf tourney this Friday, Izzie acts as if she is dying minute by minute, Emma had a wild day today and me… I am about fizzled out. I don’t know how these single moms do it.…

13.1 are the miles my husband ran today in his first ever 1/2 marathon! He did a great job and we his family are so proud of him. I really did not want him to do it. He has had two knee surgery’s from playing college soccer and it’s just not smart for him to…

I was driving Sam and Emma to school this morning. Always an interesting ride. Here is how it went. Emma: Mom, does God have a big bed? Sam: God does not have a bed Emma. He lives in Heaven. Emma: I know Sam. Jesus’ has a bed. It’s smaller than Gods. Sam: Emma! They don’t…

Every time something bad happens I always have a time of reflection on my life and our family. It always makes me ask the tough questions. Like how can God allow this stuff to happen? Why are there so many evil people in this world? When will enough be enough? And then I always do…

Dave and I just got back today from our overnight getaway. We had an amazing time. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. We were at lunch a week or so ago on the actual day of our anniversary and someone had asked us to share what we thought had made our…

First let me just say that the Rhodes family is a walking sick factory right now. Emma has this Chronic cough… I was just at the DR yesterday and diagnosed with a throat infection and Izzie… well let me tell you about Izzie. I feel so bad about how I have been thinking about her…

So sad that we are finally over with the season. Dave and I love a good hour on the couch now and then and we really loved this show. It took us by surprise and it is very creatively written. I am not a big football person at all so I did not think I…

I took 2 Tylenol PM’s last night and headed to bed at 8PM. Crazy I know but I think I was about to shut down. Izzie is killing me at night. She is waking at random times and won’t go back to sleep. We have been letting her scream it out but even behind all…

Easter Sunday…. Busy and Crazy having to get the kids fed and dressed and out the door. I am finding that I am constantly the last person that gets ready for anything.. and today the blow dryer broke…. Oh well that is life. We made it to church and then home for a big Easter…

The past 3 days have been so busy…. Is anyone else out there tired or is it just me. Izzie just went to bed and Emma is up in her room watching the Disney Princesses. Maybe she’ll fall asleep here soon too… Oh no such luck… I just heard her jumping off of her bed.…
