Last week I was bedridden due to food poisoning.  Since this happened at my parents house, I actually got to lie in bed and be sick.  They took care of the kids.  Mom asked if I had seen the movie The Bucket List yet.  Since I hadn’t, she gave me a quick synopsis of the [...]

Keep praying.  Don’t ever stop. 
Yes you have hit a “brick wall”.  I understand.  I really do.  But keep praying. 
You have been on your knees, desperate for relief.  Begging and crying.  Pleading your case when it seems the prayer goes no further than the ceiling.  Keep praying.
You have been in the gutter.  Ashamed and frustrated.  Broken [...]

I am going to throw my scale out the window.  Hit it will a hammer.  Drive over it, slowly.  Back up and drive over it again.  I hate, hate that scale. 
Okay, maybe I am placing blame where it doesn’t belong.  After all, the scale is just doing it’s job.  Calculating the number and accurately displaying [...]

Well, normally I wouldn’t post my children’s bowel habits on the world wide web, but today is an exceptional day.  Zack pooped in the toilet! Yes!
Now, I know there are some of you out there that have super genius children who were potty trained and reading the newspaper by twelve months, but for a Sanders, this [...]

A year ago, I was preparing to send my firstborn child to live in an institution.  Preparing him, myself and family for a separation of unimaginable proportions.  How do you explain to a child of eight, an Autistic child, that he will no longer be at home with Mommy and Daddy. How do you explain to [...]

I am a Tween.  Not a traditional tween, 10 to 12 year old child.  An nontraditional tween.  I am caught not between childhood and adolescence, but between two monumental ages just the same.  Youth and Old Age. 
How did this happen?  I’m not sure.  Just yesterday I was in my early twenties.  A new mom who [...]

We live in a relatively small town in central Arkansas.  The population has almost doubled since we moved here 10 years ago.  Almost overnight, we seem to have homeless people everywhere.  This is incredibly disturbing to me.  I look at these people and know they are someone’s babies.  I have wrestled with my conscience and [...]

It has recently occurred to me that perhaps it is time to name our boat. (Mostly, because people continue to ask what is the name of our boat?) We have tossed around a few names, but our conversations always deteriorate into “Wouldn’t it be funny if we named it …” and other geekiness. In researching boat names I have learned that [...]
