Daily Grind
Nocturnal Birds?
3:00 am. My husband rushes out of bed. “Where are you going?” I ask. “To take care of it!” The “it” was a bird (a robin?) outside our window who had been chirping and calling all night long. I first heard it’s shrilling call at midnight. I didn’t know what to think. I usually heard…
The Dinner Hour
Tonight’s dinner was LOUD as usually with me scrambling to answer questions, dish out food and pay attention to whoever called my name. When things settled down, we shared some jokes. My favorite one was told b Chris (12) and it went like this. “There was a blonde, a brunette, and a brown headed person.”…
Never Let Your Kids Pick a Candle Fragrance
I could have gone into my husband’s office and picked a candle from the two young men selling them for charity. But I have too many candles as it is, and I didn’t feel like getting out of the car when I went to pick up my boys at their dad’s office. So I told…
Friday the 13th
My husband just informed me that it was Friday the 13th. Now I’m not supersticious, and I know that “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world,”but I can’t help but think someone out there was trying to wreck havoc in our lives today. Nothing major just…My computer caught…
It’s Been One of Those Days
Let me set the mood by saying Blogger just crashed and lost my original post…So here’s take two: My body is weary, and my brain is fried. Maybe it’s the nine hours I spent at the State fair yesterday, (or maybe it’s all the mid-way junk food I ate!)Maybe it was one too many rollercoaster…
What I’m Listening to Right Now
as I relax on my porch…The sounds of my children playing in the beautiful morning sunshine. Oh, the joys of lazy homeschool days. Oh, the peace and tranquility. Chris sits on the bench petting our dog Jedi…he comes over to see what I’m doing and makes me promise to NOT write down what he says.…
Kids Say the Funniest Things…
Gracie (4): playing Rescue Heroes “This is Wendy Waters. Do you Coffee? Do you Coffee?”*** After looking at a picture of me pregnant with her. “Mom, I peed in your belly.” *** After I asked her to do something “Okay, Your Majesty Queen.” *** I often tell Gracie I’m glad she’s part of our family.…
My Life is One BIG Mess
Do you ever feel like your life is a mess? You know, toys thrown all over the room, and clothes scattered across the bedroom floor. No matter how much I clean, throw away, give away, and sell, the mess just seems to multiply.Twice a year I gather up the kids old clothes and toys for…
My Eyes Are Bigger Than My Schedule
I’m beginning to think I’ve bitten off more I can chew.Homeschool is just around the corner, albeit our corner is at least two weeks away. But the activities seem to be starting up. Homeschool PE, Flag football, Musical Theatre, dance, gymnastics, swimming! Thank goodness Timmy (6) told me early this summer. “Mom, don’t sign me…
Doggy Days
I’m not a dog person. In fact, I’m not even an animal person. You’ll never see me holding up a PETA sign . But some how God softened my heart to this little King Charles Cavalier and on Valentine’s day this year we told our four we were going over a friend’s house to pick…
