Weird dream

I dreamed we had adopted several children (I’m thinking it was a sibling group) and had taken them to my friends F&K’s house (but it wasn’t the one they live in, in real life) to visit. We had a nice visit! When we were getting ready to leave, F had a new thing that was supposed to make money transfer […]

The Homeschool Kids Who Can’t Do Anything

By Zak Gahagan We are the homeschool kids who can’t do anything We just stay at home and do our work And if you ask us to do anything We’ll just tell you We can’t do anything. Well, I can’t pass notes in math class and I’ve never bought my school lunch and I’ve never had my homework eaten by […]

Oh, eww.

JL woke us up this morning about 5am. He was a little feverish, so we got out the thermometer to take his temperature, and discovered… pinworms. Eww. So Robby went and got medicine for all of us and we took that this morning. Blah. But hopefully we won’t have to worry about them anymore. I think it’s good that JL […]

5 Children & It (2004)

5 Children & It (a movie made in 2004 loosely based on the book by Edith Nesbit) was a bit of a disappointment. It did not follow the book at all (though it used a couple of the original elements) and was a completely different story than E. Nesbit’s original. If you liked the book, skip the movie. If you […]

Great article from Worldview News

Quit Inviting People to Church For many years I used the same illustration when it came to my approach to witnessing. It was a story about waking my grandpa up in the middle of the night by waving a flashlight in his face. My point was that he did not respond very well to my method of awakening him and […]

*Chick-fil-a

I was VERY impressed with Chick-fil-a! We went through the drive-through, and the sandwich I got looked EXACTLY like the picture on the menu! How many restaurants can say that? Robby’s sandwich did, too. And they were FRESH and they were DELICIOUS!

Had a great trip!

This trip has been so nice and relaxing! Even though it was only two days, it has seemed like a longer vacation because it has been so restful! We left Friday morning about 3:30am. I had about 4 hours sleep before we left. The children all went immediately to sleep in the car, even the baby. We woke them up […]

What a way to spend a day.

So Robby decided that since today was my birthday, it would be a good day to get my car fixed. It needed an alternator. It was making a horrible high-pitched squeaking noise. We purchased an alternator and found a guy who would put it in for us. He commented that part of the noise might well be the belt (a […]

Crazy dream

I was with a friend, planning a party. We were not at either home, but at a neutral location. Her mom was there. At some point, we ran out of time, and my family (husband and kids) came to pick me up. She asked if we could stop by her house for a few minutes and Robby agreed we could. […]
