Ugh [shudder] awful dream!
That was entirely weird. In my dream, I dreamed that I had another baby, fairly close to this one… and was nursing both, but hadn’t seen or nursed one of them in about three days!! Both were boys… both were quite small. But the one I hadn’t nursed was the older of the two, and was lethargic when I found […]
My quilt – and walking update
I don’t know if you remember, but around the end of 2004 I put together a quilt top that I’d made from old jeans; I layered it sometime the beginning of 2005. It’s been sitting, waiting to be quilted, since then. I gave up on that idea and tied it, instead. It looks ok, I think. All I have left […]
New project!
I found a couple of really inexpensive knitting books at Unclaimed Baggage today. So, I bought 2 pr of knitting needles at Wal*Mart and began to learn to knit!
How’s that for motivation?
I suggested to Robby that he have the boys each do a half-hour turn in their bedroom, cleaning, and reward the one who did the best. He agreed that sounded like a good idea, and while Rae & I were gone, he did so. Bob won. So they are now off bowling – something the boys love to do, but […]
Date #4
Today Rae & I went out. We started by swimming – and got quite a workout! We swam about 400 yards, back and forth, and a little more if you count what we did at each end between lengths. After we showered & changed, we went to eat at Mariachi, a local Mexican restaurant, where we shared a “nachos supremos” […]
Date #3
Today was Tim’s turn. We started off by swimming – he did great! His favorite “camp” story from 2 years ago was that he squeaked past the swim test, jumped in the deep end, and nearly drowned!! But now he can actually swim well enough. After that, we went to eat at Captain D’s (a fish place similar to Long […]
Type of Homeschooler
This one surprised me!! You’re an “Unschool” Homeschooler You teach your kids primarily through simply living your life and talking to your kids. You probably do supplement your conversations with books borrowed from the library – admit it, just HOW many trips have you made to the library this month?! “Mommy, look at the flower!”….”Yes, at look at the roots, […]
What Color are you?
WHITES are motivated by PEACE, seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. (Feeling good is more important than being good.) They are typically quiet by nature, they process things very deeply and objectively, and they are by far the best listeners of all the colors. They respect people who are kind, but recoil from perceived hostility […]

What Donut are You?

Date #2
Today was Nate’s day. Robby had an appointment later in the day, so we decided to go ahead and go this morning. We stopped by Dollar General (to get Nate socks, since he hadn’t worn any) and were planning to go bowling, but we weren’t able to because the bowling alley didn’t open until noon (this was about 10am). We […]
Date #1
I have set up days to have a “date” with each of my children, one on one. Today was Bob’s turn (age 12). I told him we had $20, and he could choose what to do. First we went swimming for an hour ($4), and then we went by Unclaimed Baggage and picked him up a military jacket that my […]
Sunday
I meant to comment on Sunday’s sermons. First of all, I enjoyed listening to him, because he grew up in Ireland and has a very Irish brogue. (For those who might know him, or know of him, this is Tom Fittis, missionary to Northern Ireland.) Sunday morning’s sermon was on unity – Psalm 133. I knew I should’ve typed this […]
