Every year we make the pilgrimage out to my mother’s home to celebrate Thanksgiving. Every year the table is set with all the traditional foods, mashed potatoes, yams, green bean casserole, crescent rolls, pumpkin pie, lime jello, pineapple salad and, of course, a 20 pound turkey stuffed with a sausage and almond stuffing made from my grandmother’s recipe… which, by the way, has never been written down! I always bring the home made cranberry sauce and a “vegetarian” dish for my older children.

This year, my husband was in the kitchen when I was in my cooking frenzy. He watched as I poured two bowls of cranberry sauce and held one into the air. “This one,” I announced, “is for us”. He shrugged his shoulders and said “OK”. He was completely underwhelmed. He stole some shredded cheese from my bowl and said very casually, “I don’t like cranberry sauce”. [Read more]

I read this morning that the Duggars, from 18 And Counting and then 19 And Counting, are considering having yet another child; their 2oth! The Duggars are a Christian couple who lead a Christian life and take every baby they feel God blesses them with. Who am I to question God’s plan for someone’s life, but I do have an opinion about their choice.

I do believe children are a gift from God. I also believe God blesses moms with the ability to love all her children. But if God meant for us to have 20 children, He would also have given mothers an extra pair of eyes, preferably some that could rotate completely around our head, and some extra arms! Our knees would bend with ease in the either direction. We would have super sonic hearing and a voice that would never grow weary of explaining things over and over and over again! Mother’s would look like some freaky monster from a sci-fi movie! [Read more]

I’m doing some research on relationships. Specifically, the dynamics between husbands and wives. As you all know, my comedy is all about helping couples better understand each other and, ultimately, become closer. Men aren’t wrong for being, well, manly. And women aren’t wrong for being girly. We are what we are and understanding our differences is the key to true happiness and peace between the sexes.

So, I’d like to hear from you. Send me a short story about your relationship and how it works. How has my story/comedy changed or affected your relationship? I really look forward to your responses. fromdebi@debiontheweb.com

Now here is a marriage that will work!  I can tell just by the wedding cake topper!

We have a family friend who recently got married.  We are friends of the groom.  We know all about his love of fishing, hunting and camping.  He’s a guy’s guy!  When he shopped for a dining room table, he looked for one that would be strong enough to hold a car engine so he could work on it in his spare time! So, now, you have a picture in your head of the groom.  Now, he announces he is going to get married!  My friend Linda, the groom’s brother, told us how wonderful this woman is.  She is a beautiful, kind and loving woman.  But when I saw her wedding cake topper, I knew she was going to be a wonderful wife!

Oh, sure, I had my doubts about my husband’s parenting. Of course, I thought I was a better parent. After all, I was the one with the extra clothing packed and ready in the car, I was the one with detangler and a hairbrush in my purse, I pre-packed single serving snacks in baggies and kept them in a drawer specifically for kid approved snacks! When we went to a restaurant I took crayons, pencils, mini notepads, wipes, Cheerios, my purse looked like the inside of the 99 cent store!

My husband and I went to marriage counseling. The counselor looked at us and made a profound statement. She said, ” What would you do differently today if you knew your spouse was going to die tomorrow?”

Well, I know family and friends would descend on the house upon hearing about a death! If one of us were to die tomorrow, today I would be cleaning the house, windows and all, getting our funeral clothes cleaned and pressed. Oh, that reminds me, I will have to get the baby new church shoes, she outgrows them between Easter and Christmas! When my grandmother died I remember running into a Payless and grabbing church shoes and throwing them on her moments before we ran into church. I noticed both her feet pointing in the same direction. SHE HAD ON TWO LEFT SHOES! On the way through the cemetery, she kept walking towards the left!

Yes, I would be cleaning the house top to bottom and he would be getting rid of a hell of alot of porn from his underwear drawer!
