Ahh! There’s Nothing Like A Clean Shave!

Especially after going a week or more without shaving. I lost count in the move and I lost my razor! Let’s just say I was starting to feel like a real Italian woman! All I can say is it’s a good thing it’s winter or I might have had to move to Europe! My leg…

I’m Ready for Opening Night!

Three days until opening night of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Three days! Can you tell I’m so ready for this play to be over with? I think the novelty of this particular play wore a while ago, especially since my two oldest are playing the same parts as last year and this…

Miracle Child Bad Behavior Cure?

I’ve heard about it for years, but ignored the temptation to try this not-so-new behavioral technique. I actually thought it to be quite expensive, extreme, and potentially damaging to my children. Though the idea intrigued me. But year after year, I resisted and my husband was in agreement with me. That is, until this weekend…

House Exhaustion!

I’m TOTALLY exhausted and every muscle in my body aches. No, I didn’t just run a marathon, though running ranks us there with the top 5 things I HATE to do along with cleaning! And I just spent the entire weekend cleaning and scrubbing and it’s still not cleaned. My hands are dry and chaffed,…

Going No Internet in a Few Days!

Yikes! I just realized that moving this weekend also means no internet connection at the new house until we decide what service we want! So if you’re trying to reach me and you can’t, now you know why! I guess I could come back to the old house every now and then until service is…

Last Night in Our Old Home

I’m too tired and congested (from either stirring up dirt or the dying bouquet of flowers in my house) to write anything profound. We built this home when my oldest was 2 1/2 he’s 14 now. You can do the math. We’ve been here a long time, longer than we imagined, but stayed longer for…

Have You Seen My Motivation?

I can’t seem to locate it! I used to have too much motivation and not enough time. Now I have hardly any motivation and hardly any time anyway. My life feels like it’s in a state of limbo with selling this old house and still waiting to move into the new one. My day is…

The Play’s the Thing…

I think that my title might be a quote from Shakespeare, but that’s not what this post is about. It’s about me being completely exhausted and I think the play’s the thing that’s draining my energy and I’m not even in the play! My four kids are, but since I let Grace (6) audition and…

My Newsletter: Good and Bad News

The good news is that it looks great, bad news is that I can’t seem to transfer it from Sea Monkey to my yahoo group. Something keeps messing up in the html. Good news is that I have subscribers, bad news is that there’s only five or you. Good news is I didn’t twitter or…
