Tomorrow’s the Day
I decided to take the job! I talked to the director today (C, our minister’s wife) to see when she would need me to start. She said “Can you come tomorrow?!” Oh, boy, nothing like jumping right in. I’m still very nervous about driving into Detroit. Nothing really rational, just […]
How Hubby Spent Christmas Eve Day
I’ve had this one in draft, so I thought I’d FINALLY post it. I want to do a photo post of the whole basement renovation soon. It’s not done yet, but he has two walls completely mudded with two coats of Kilz on them, waiting for paint. He has one more wall […]
Is It Thursday Already?
Wow, how time flies. Nothing much going on, just the same old thing. I’m really trying to get a better routine going for housework and such, so that I’m not constantly cleaning. I hate this part of my job. Not the new job, the old one — mom and wife. […]
More On The Work Front
I have had some concerns about the job I mentioned below, but took them to C and she answered every one. I didn’t discuss the influences thing with her, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it will be a great thing for my kids to be surrounded by children […]
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to Work I Go
Well, maybe. I’m so not sure about this. You know, I’ve blogged a little about having some financial trouble. We are 100% committed to my staying home with the kids and continuing our homeschooling, but something’s got to give! However, a possibility has arisen that just might help. Our […]
My Dear, Sweet Son
. . . is making me crazy! I don’t know if it’s a girl/boy difference or just personality differences, but this boy is sooooo different than his sisters. Two weeks ago he put a tic-tac up his nose (I can’t believe I didn’t blog that!), but sneezed it out while I was getting […]
I’m Still Here
Nope, Dy, I haven’t been sucked into a vortex of homeschool science experiments gone awry. Do you ever have a period of time when you just don’t have the energy, oomph, insight, or whatever to sit down and write a post? Nothing huge going on around here, just that. I’ve got lots […]
Holy Unschooling, Batman!
***UPDATE BELOW***
Well, let’s see, what did we do today? The girls were playing princess in their room when they decided to listen to Miss M’s Disney Princess song player. Lo and behold, it won’t play so “Mommy, this needs batteries!” Luckily, we were still stocked up from Christmas and I actually knew where the tiny […]An Eye Scare
We had a little scare today. Actually, it started yesterday at church. Little T’s Sunday school teacher asked me after church “What’s wrong with Little T’s eyes?”. I gave her a look like “What you talkin bout Willis” and told her that I didn’t know she was having any problems. So much for homeschooling parents […]
Reason # 3452 to Homeschool
Breakfast at Tim Horton’s at 9:30 am.
Young Insight
The Common Room has an incredibly insightful post on happiness and doing right, and how the latter does not always equal the former. What caught my attention is that it was not written by Headmistress, but by Equuschick — her teenage daughter. There’s not a “like” or “kwim” in the whole thing. HM is doing […]
6 Degrees of Meme
Andrea and Ron have a new scientific experiment going, here’s how it works:
There is a game known as ‘6 Degrees of Separation’ (from Kevin Bacon - no relation to the best of my knowledge). The way the game works is to try to connect 2 famous people via 6 associations. We have been watching the […]

It’s Alive!
She did it! What do you think of the new look? I just love it, all rich and gem-y looking! I just logged on to post a blonde joke and found it!!! Woot!
Quick note: The RH sidebar is messed up in IE, she’s working on it. Evidently, it didn’t show up until she launched. Just […]New Look Coming
If anyone’s left to read this blog, I’m getting a makeover! Andrea did a great job on this one (insert applause for Andrea here), but I am a compulsive furniture re-arranger. So, I’ve been thinking about a new look here. As a tribute to Andrea, I have used some elements of this blog over at […]
