I had a dream that I was living in some sort of dorm or apartment, which included a mailbox/locker with a combination lock, and I couldn’t remember the combination, and I couldn’t get the ‘powers that be’ to tell me what it was. This is the fourth or fifth time I’ve had a similar situation in a dream. In this […]
The reason the results are as they are is mainly because I think the government needs to do what GOVERNMENT was meant to do and GOVERN… and quit trying to legislate morality and needs to quit getting into peoples’ private lives. You are a Social Liberal (63% permissive) and an… Economic Conservative (76% permissive) You are best described as a: […]
I got tired of my old wallpaper and couldn’t find something I wanted up, so I made one.
http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/index.php This is well worth watching. If you are grateful, here’s an easy way to say “thank you” – even from a distance.
2008 has arrived! Hard to believe… the years are going so fast. It seems like just yesterday was Y2K and now it’s been 8 years! Our family has seen a lot of changes in those 8 years – We now have two teenagers and two more children (for a total of five) plus one in Heaven. We were blessed with […]
You Are a Peanut Butter Sundae Sticky, rich, and totally decadent. You know that life is all about the good stuff. What Kind of Sundae Are You? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that looks delicious!!
Here is our Christmas photo from 2007:
I’ve noticed that several people’s children end up taller than their parents. People say that is common. It seems to me, however, that it must go in cycles, because otherwise we’d all be ten feet tall (or more)… don’t you think?
May God bless you as you celebrate the birth of His Son, Whom He sent to live as a man and die a sinless sacrifice for our sins – and Who then rose again and sits by the right hand of the Father! Bless the Lord!
You know, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I hear people say, “I really like This Candidate… his platform is great, his stand on these issues match mine… he’s an ideal candidate! BUT… This Candidate doesn’t have a chance of winning, so I’m voting for Popular Candidate instead.” If EVERYONE I’ve heard say that would vote for […]
How many children do you have / homeschool? I have five children. The youngest is only 2, so while he is, technically, always learning (just like most homeschoolers!), he isn’t considered one of the school-age children yet. How long have you been homeschooling? I have been homeschooling my children all their lives. My oldest is 14.5. Have they always been […]
Parents Magazine is having a giveaway! Check it out!
When I was in school, we did all sorts of reports and stuff. My kids haven’t done a lot of that sort of thing, and don’t care to. My husband said he didn’t when he was in school. I wonder what is the more common experience?
Well, I haven’t started out this month on a very good note. Between bank account issues and child-training issues and DOG-training issues and personal stuff, I’ve been a depressed and unpleasant person with which to live. Had one of those weekends where I’d’ve liked nothing better than to abdicate. But, since that wouldn’t solve anything, I’ve stuck it out. Such […]
“Penguin, James Penguin” by Brad Paisley. If you haven’t heard it, and if you don’t mind ‘silly’ songs – this is so cute! “Penguin, James Penguin, that dapper little guy…”
It’s weird. Most years, people write the previous year on paperwork for weeks, if not months. But I’ve seen more than just me trying to put “2008” on stuff for several weeks now! I wonder why we’re so eager to get to 2008?
You Are a Gingerbread House A little spicy and a little sweet, anyone would like to be lost in the woods with you. What Holiday Food Are You?
To our children. For excellence. I only hope they earn it!
Beside the food, which will be ready tomorrow, and the housecleaning, which is in progress… we were challenged by our pastor to make a list of things for which we are thankful. It would take WAY too long to do a totally comprehensive list, but I will name a sampling: My family – past, present, and future (parents, spouse, children) […]
