The Top 10 Reasons Why Having Twins Rocks!

"Happily ever after" is not a reality when it comes to parenting twins, apparently.

I just finished reading this article and boy, am I depressed. Sounds like I'm a prime candidate for not only the current depression but divorce and perpetual misery as well.

I Want to Ask Jesus Some Stuff

The children and I were pulling weeds from the back yard today, when Makayla, my five year old and I found a dead baby bird. I tried to sheild her from it before she could see it but she saw it anyway and huge tears sprung to her eyes. I told her to leave it alone, that Jesus would come and take the bird to Heaven, and instructed the children to go back inside.

Actually, as a kid we never had a television. As I remember it, the first TV we had in our home growing up was given to us when I was 16 years old. It was always comical watching our friends come to visit for the first time.…

Its Taking Over My Marriage

I am a highly social person. I love people, I love talking, I can be long winded (all my friends say, "Nah! Not YOU!").

Hello, my name is Miss Sanguine.

Now to be sure, I am one of those unique people with a split personality. I am also Miss Melancholy and can be as much introverted as extroverted. But, I think my…
