Argh!

I hate being overwhelmed. Especially when it’s my own fault. Every time I start to do something, I remember (or am interrupted by) something ELSE I need to be doing. There’s too much! I’m working on reorganizing the boys’ room. In the midst, I need to do domain hosting bills for the business, make meals, feed the baby, etc. Somehow, […]

I wish you could see the house

…in this morning’s dream! It was huge – at least the basement was. I think I never saw the upstairs. At least not more than briefly. I spent most of the time in the basement. There were at LEAST 8 rooms down there. There were five across the “front” of it, where the door to the outside was, and there […]

Chocolate pudding

So we were at the grocery & Robby decided he wanted chocolate pudding. They didn’t have “chocolate.” We were given a choice between “Chocolate Fudge” or “Devil’s Food.” Well, ok, then! So, since it was Robby who’d wanted it, I asked him. He deferred to me. I picked up one box of each, turning them over to compare ingredients. They […]

Hmmm.

I seem to have hit a laggy spot when it comes to blogging. I can mention that JL now has SIX teeth (four on top and two on bottom). . . and that I’ve been doing some serious decluttering. . . and. . . um. Lame post, eh.

Found this interesting post:

I never really got this “deep” into figuring out “why” we homeschool… to us it is “the thing to do” and government school really isn’t an option. (*If, in an extreme case, it became NECESSARY, we would, of course… but it would have to be extreme.*) But, I like this person’s take on it. “SpunkyHomeSchool”

Dreams

I had two dreams that I remembered this morning. One was that John Luke slid down off the bed and *walked* down the (clean!) hallway into the (very clean and organized and clutter-free!) living room. It would be GOOD if that one could come true. The other was weird. Weird. Yep. Ok, we were in this big building…a cross between […]

“Deep” thought

Probably not all that deep, but thoughts, anyway: Toothpaste, which is more of a “soap,” is so called because of its paste-like consistency. However, it occurred to me, in thinking of this, that “consistency” can be paste-like in more than one way. It can be paste-like in its viscosity (thickness), and it can be paste-like in its sticking power. That’s […]

Well. I haven’t posted in a while…

…but it isn’t because nothing’s happened!! It’s been a very busy few weeks! The Monday after my last post started Teen Camp, to which my oldest son went. He enjoyed it immensely! That Saturday, my mom was here for our church’s Mother/Daughter Banquet, and when she & Dusty left Sunday morning, they took Bob with them. Monday morning, the rest […]

ok, THAT was seriously weird

So, I’m dreaming along this morning… There’s this guy, “David,” who has a huge house/office building. He is in some sort of business where he brings people to his building and then tries to get them to buy stuff. Some do. The others get taken back home. (Very nice car, too.) So, I’ve been there three or four times, enjoying […]

Funny, I was BORN in 1971….

You Belong in 1971 If you scored… 1950 – 1959: You’re fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 – 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule – oh, and drugs too. 1970 – 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. […]

Cookie

You Are a Black and White Cookie You’re often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions. When you’re good, you’re sweet as sugar. And when you’re bad, you’re wicked! What Kind of Cookie Are You?

I was reading a book about organizing…

…and one of the things it said was when you need to do something, “start now!” Ok, so there’s a flaw in that. I have this card I’m sending to my mom (including a check)… so I started writing the card and it occurred to me I ought to send her a couple pics, so I opened my graphics program […]

Well, ok, so it isn’t as bad as all that.

I suppose. I was set straight by my friend Kim about primaries and how they work. So, ok, it’s a primary. But STILL. If there were 15/20 of each party running, I could maybe see ’em doing a primary (for Coroner, Sheriff, and Judge) but since there are only 3 or 4 running for each post, I STILL think they […]
