Daily Grind
First Week Woes
On the second day of school, Joey (10) comes to me after bedtime. He looks sad and distraught and starts off by saying, “I don’t know if I should tell you this or not because you might say something and I don’t want you to.” I immediately think he’s having trouble with a kid at…
Sabbath Rest?
Did you ever have sooo much to do, you didn’t know where to start? That’s how I’ve been feeling for weeks. School starts tomorrow and thankfully school supplies and uniforms are bought. So all I have to do is make sure we all wake up on time and get out the door by 7:30 am.…
Dream Vanity
What little girl wouldn’t love this precious vanity set? We bought Grace a Target Vanity and “Dress Up” closet a couple of years ago, knowing that she was indeed a girlie, girl, yet all rough and tumble underneath. We didn’t want to invest in something that she would most likely destroy by the time she…
Wii, Wii, Wii All the Way Home
The boys called me on my bluff last month! Well, I guess it wasn’t exactly a bluff, but in a moment of weakness, when I had it up to here (raises hand over head…5ft. 3 1/2inches) with them asking to play more time on PS2. I regrettably said, “If you had the Wii I’d probably…
CSI: Up Close and Way Too Personal!
New York is a great place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Why? Because I’ve lived there!!! But never had I experienced anything like I did this afternoon. We’re visiting family in NY (5 towns near Kennedy airport) and we haven’t even been here 24 hours. Driving down the street toward my…
What a Week!
Reposted From June 2004 I picked up Chris (9) from camp on Wednesday morning and I was really glad to see him. It was obvious he had fun, yet there were some tough moments which I will share later. After he was home a day or so I began to realize how peaceful the house…
Plans?
Things didn’t go according to plan. Grace pulled a “cling on” and wouldn’t go to her morning class. She wanted to be with her brother Timmy, but his class was for first grade boys. Well, that didn’t compute because she cried and screamed all the way home. “I want to be in Timmy’s class. (Side…
What Will I Ever Do?
I have a whole week with three of my four kids in VBS all morning! I can’t remember the last time I had so much freedom! Sure, I plan on exercising, renewing my neglected Bible study and writing! I’d love to write 1,000 words a day. But I also have another goal of finishing my…
Firefox vs. Internet Explorer
If you’re reading this blog in Internet Explorer than you’re probably seein a REALLY messed up blog. I don’t know why, but it looks GREAT in Firefox. And if you comment, the page comes up fine in Internet Explorer, go figure. I switched to Firefox months ago when things weren’t happening right in Internet Explorer.…
Good News and Not So Good News
The good news is I have my computer back with most of my data! (The important stuff anyway) The bad news is my hardrive blew up! That’s what caused the problem, and I’m out over $500. The good news is that my husband paid for it on business trade! More not so good news is that my…
