Next Organizing Project, Please

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, because I didn’t want to embarass Sis, but she struggles a bit with bi-polar disorder as well as OCD. Due to her job situation, she doesn’t have insurance, so no Dr - no meds. We just ride the waves as they come. So, when she gets […]
Funky Bug
I had to catch this one and figure out what it was! It looks so weird, a fly type body with a mantis-type head. Sure enough, it’s a mantid fly!

I got this from Carmen. It’s all her fault.
What we’re supposed to do in this exercise is act like journaling bees pollinating the literary flowers of the Internet. So remove the blog at #1 from the following list and bump every one up one place. Then add your blogs name in the #5 […]Homeschool Procrastinators
Any of you out there? This is our first year of “real” homeschooling, last year we did kindergarten — you know, lots of play-doh, playing, learning letters and numbers, early reading, not much structured. I am trying to get ready for our next year (yeah, I know July’s a little late for that), […]
New Post
In order to get the whiney-crabby post off the top (I actually considered deleting it), I am posting my linen closet makeover. Nothing too exciting for most people, but this closet has become the repository for everything that doesn’t have a home anywhere else in the house. So the other night, I got […]
Crappy Day — Getting Better
UPDATE: I cooled off, Sis accepted my apology, the girls and I had a long discussion about drama and how they needed to stop — and how I needed to stop. We’re working on a new incentive chart for them to keep their stuff picked up. Sis and I spent the afternoon […]
We Have Cocoon
I was really doubtful that the caterpillar would cocoon in captivity, but he’s well on his way! I wish I could get a good shot up the end of the cocoon — it looks like he used his own ‘hair’ to make the cocoon, he’s all smooth and hairless in there! But working […]
Yellow Caterpillar
The girls found a caterpillar out on the driveway, and of course had to bring it in! I’ve been searching online, but don’t really have a good method to look it up. It’s probably about 2 inches long, yellow, furry, with long black hairy spikes sticking out. Anyone have a clue or […]
What Am I Reading?
Randi at I Have to Say asks the question What are you reading? I’d like to post a disclaimer before I reveal my literary choices. I read for enjoyment more than enlightenment. I read voraciously. I devour books, I savor them, I inhale them, I dream their stories, I live them […]
New Blog Traffic Site
Get Blog Traffic
It works basically like Blog Explosion, but they are very vigilant in making sure all the blogs really are blogs — not advertising pages. If you head over there from here and decide to join, I get credit for the reference.New Blogger Photo Thingy
Wow, this is cool. How long has this been here? I feel like I’ve been offline so long — it was only a few days — how addicted am I? Anyway, just wanted to try it out.
I’m Baaack!
Whew, it was just a bum power supply. It’s fixed, and I also got the CD-Rom drive fixed that’s not been working for a couple of years. Yay! Well, everyone has to get their fair share of catch-up time, so I’ll be back in a few to post some thoughts from the […]
Mayday! Mayday! Going down!
The computer is dead. It just won’t turn on. I’m at Hubby’s office after service this morning, checking mail and getting this post out. Boy, am I computer addicted! I just mope around the house like a little kid, “I’m bored, there’s nothing on TV, there’s nothing to do!” Well, […]
They’re Gone!
Today is my birthday, and I’m all alone! Well, actually, Sis and Baby Boy are here. After an awesome outdoor church service this morning, (I sang on the praise team and Dh was one of the worship leaders), Dh took the girls to mini-week at camp. They can go as young as […]
Yay, It’s Fixed!
Thank you, Stephen, for your helpful post! I read your comment, and went to your site, but it didn’t mean anything to me (a little html illiterate here!). But your June 30 update with Blogger’s final fix really helped me out, it was plain and simple!
Also, thanks Andrea for your help in tracking […]
