Daily Grind
What a Magical Weekend!!!
As in Magic Eraser! I spent the entire weekend unpacking boxes of books and erasing the marks on the wall. Hubby doesn’t want to paint, and I don’t blame him. The task is overwhelming, but I will insist on the painting some of the rooms that Magic Eraser couldn’t clean up! But the house is…
Home, Sweat, Home
No, it’s NOT a typo! Yes, you read it right! Why Home, Sweat, Home? If the photos don’t speak for themselves (look closely at the carpets) then I’ll fill you in. It’s a whole lot of house that needs a whole lot of fixing up. But we were blessed to get this foreclosure at an…
House and Homeschooling
Seems like Thursdays is the designated day for my housecapades! Hey, I like that. Will have to use that again! Well, we had our first open house on Sunday. Hubby stressed and fussed and hurried to make the place shine. We put an ad in the paper for $75 and guess how many people/couples showed…
Lightening Strike to Heaven
The other morning I instructed my children (6 yr. and 8 yr.) to finish their copy work while I exercised on the elliptical. They asked if they could color when they were through. Sure, anything to help keep them busy while I got in my work out. Little did I know while I sweated…
Suspicious Minds by Christy Barritt
Christy Barritt’s has done it again! (Don’t miss my interview with her tomorrow!) Back on the “crime” scene is Gabby St. Claire, funny and quirky crime scene cleaner, who has a knack for finding dead bodies and solving murders. Though back in school to become a forensic scientist, Gabby takes whatever cleaning job comes her…
Twas’ The Night Before Listing: Sellers Beware! House Happenings Part 3
Twas two days after renovations and all through the house were wood floors and new carpet, no need to grouse. All the rooms were picked up, all nice and clean, most everything was hidden and not seen. When what to our frustrated ears do we hear, “You’ll never get the price you want, is that…
Binders, Notebooks and Backpacks…Oh: EZSchool Supplies made Easy!
I can’t believe we’re into the second week of school ! Where has the summer gone? Seems like I just packed up the kids uniforms, and now I’m dragging them down from the attic. Well, actually my oldest, who is now taller than, me pulled them down from the attic! But he also out grew…
Boys Back from School Camp!
I know, you didn’t even know they were gone. If I only had enough time to blog about everything that’s going on in my life. If only you twittered, you might know more, then again, you might not since I didn’t even have time to twitter this! But something really cool about my boys’ school…
How My House Almost Burned Down!
I also dodged a real life fire 30 minutes ago! Hubby emptied the waterbed ’cause carpeters are installing tomorrow, and he left the heater on!!! I started to smell something plasticky. Thought it was paint from the bathroom. Ignored it for a while, but the smell got more intense and it was only upstairs. I…
First Week of School
The night before Chris asked me if I was going to wake him up with a photo flash! I said, “no.” That was how I woke them up last year! But this year, well, no pictures on the first day of school. They’re in 6th and 8th grade, and quite grown up. In fact, Chris…
