home tour part 1

You've all been begging for it--and by all I mean like 3 of you--so here it is. We love our home, and one post wouldn't do it justice, so here is part one. Say hello to the heart of the Hodges' home--the kitchen, dining, and pantry spaces. When we were designing the kitchen, the original plan was quite a bit different than the end result. For example, I originally wanted a copper apron sink, but since I didn't have $4,000 to throw in that direction, we had to adapt. The other day, Dewy and I were talking and he said, "Amber, face it. You get whatever you want. Just admit it." Although I knew he wasn't wrong, I didn't want to admit that I knew he spoke gospel truth here. If I want it, I get it. Sometimes it's because Dewy wants it too. Sometimes it's because Dewy doesn't care, and sometimes it's because I knew he would hate it so ...

I'd been teased and called fat countless times before--even by members of my own family, but it was that moment when I recognized it in myself. That was the first time I told myself I was fat.

knock it right off

Working in the junior high means I get to see a lot of things--some good, some bad. Lots of ugly and lots of smelly. One thing I see repeatedly, however, is people being mean to each other. And I'm not just talking about the students. Parents are mean to each other. Parents are mean to staff and teachers. Teachers are mean to each other. Teachers are mean to parents and students. Students are mean to staff and teachers. I want to strap a Go-Pro to my head and let the world see exactly what I see, because I think the majority of society would be appalled. And this morning I realized that I have had enough. The problem is, I don't feel like this behavior is strictly found inside the walls of this school. In fact, if we are being honest with ourselves, I think the same behavior is found literally everywhere. People are mean. And right now "bullying" is a buzz word. Now, I'm not going to point the finger at ever...
