Daily Grind
Assessing the Damage
Our power came back on Tuesday around 5 pm, so we really didn’t suffer much especially thanks to our friend’s generator, though heating up leftovers in the crockpot was an experience. Here’s a recap…Sunday Afternoon The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was canceled because power went out at the theatre. Sunday, middle of the…
Freeze Mizer Attacks!
My area was hit hard with an ice storm Sunday. We lost power middle of the night Sunday as did MANY people in our area. It’s Tuesday. There’s still now power. No school and I managed to find a very crowded coffee shop that still has power. We have three downed trees, but everywhere there…
Ding, Dong, DELL
Momma’s feeling swell! My new DELL Laptop arrived. The one we bought on line on Black Friday for 1/2 price at $399! When my kid’s laptop died (after my husband resurrected it several times,) we knew it wasn’t worth resuscitating another time. So we bought a new one and it’s mine, all mine! The old…
It’s Been a Crazy Week I almost forgot my Birthday!
Yes, I’ve been that busy, but it is my birthday month! Last year I had a month long celebration on this blog. This year it totally slipped my mind. So if it’s not too late, I’d like you all to celebrate my (GULP) 39th birthday! I’m not really focusing on this year’s celebration because I…
First Quarter School Update
It’s already the end of the quarter, the boys, Grace and I have settled into a nice routine. The house is virtually stress free from the hours between 8am and 3pm and everyone is thriving! At first school was an adjustment, mostly for Joey (5th grade) who has to have all his ducks lined up…
I think something’s gotta go…
I seem to be extremely busy, with no time to do the things I really want to do like WRITE. Much of the problem comes from what I’m doing now. Spending too much time on the computer NOT writing. So I’m reevaluating what I need to be doing, and what can go. I’ve noticed I’ve…
A Camping We Will Go
I’m not excited about it, but my family is. So we’re heading off for the wilderness in our comfy pop-up camper. I never said I was going to rough it. We’re meeting friends for the first day and then we’re on our own. Tomorrow night we have to run back home (1 hour away) for…
Finally Home from ACFW and a Heart Attack, Really!
So did I catch your attention with the title? I’m back from my sister’s house after ten days being away from the family. I know I have a lot of catching up to do about the ACFW conference, thoughts about being away so long and why I was away so long. This next week I’ll…
Motivating Talented Kids
Chris has always been a gifted singer. At an early age, I noticed he had a gift for singing and enrolled him in Kindermusik. His pitch and tone amazed me, especially since I can’t sing and always wanted to. At the age of 6 he would mimic the Lion King’s “I just can’t wait to…
Gracie’s First Day of Kindergarten
Last Thursday was Grace’s first day of Kindergarten. The night before she woke up at 2 am and climbed in bed between me and hubby. She hadn’t done that in a couple of weeks or so. Then when she woke up she wasn’t hungry. I asked her if she was excited about kindergarten. She said,…
