Monday, January 17, 2011. Space to Stuff Ratio equalization attempt #406. It's probably higher than 406, but I'm not counting so that's the number assigned to this attempt. I am so tired of stepping around, over and beside things that do not have a home or are simply out of their home. What is WITH my need to collect clutter and not want to give it away? GRRRRRRR And worse yet, I've got four other people who do and feel the same. I did not marry this house and this is "for worse" so I want out! That's to...

Friday, August 6, 2010. Last night after work I wanted something sweet. It was either going to be brownies or chocolate chip cookies. Well, my middle girl had napped earlier in the day while reading her Bible. Tim understood what I meant when I mentioned it and he went to her room and told her I needed her in the kitchen. She and I baked cookies. She talked, I listened. This afternoon a friend is coming to help us get started sewing the girls Pioneer dresses! I just remembered that the Staples Teacher Ap...

Tuesday, November 23, 2010. MWA weekend and a Mini Vacation. There were several games of it this weekend and I happened to be the winner of one! That was tricky. Then our sweet Julia figured out that if she used RCI to book it she could book the week for the same! Now, what happens at MWA stays at MWA so I can't tell you more details. Although the chocolate cake recipe (wheatless! After Tim and the girls came we went to the pool. It is an indoor/outdoor pool with a swimout. They have a hot tub ou...Today...

From The Front Porch Looking In: Let's DO THIS!

Monday, January 6, 2014. Tomorrow my oldest has her first seriously major assignment due. It's worth 30% of her grade. She hasn't even asked me to look at it. I think I make her feel like she's not good enough. So tomorrow I'm going to offer to proof it if she wants but no matter what she answers I will be reminding her that I think she's amazing! The Principal will be out of the building. Hopefully the day will go well anyway. Yes, but it's going to take work to figure out how. Too bad we can't ask Him ...

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. One More Before I Go. Today felt like getting ready for company or something fun and it's really just getting ready to go unplugged! I worked hard today even cleaning up and then wondered WHY I was doing that? I put the girls Time4Learning on hold until Aug. We'll come home from my cousins wedding and I will be happy to have something to assign them while I try to sort out the craziness we come home with. Medical Records, or school transcripts to prove residency. That's what I ...

Friday, September 30, 2011. Sunshine Through The Rain. Today completes week 3 of our 2011/2012 homeschool year. It has been THE most hectic week so far and I quipped earlier this week it felt like we were running through Molasses in January. Everything took more effort and we saw fewer results for our work it seemed. The kind you don't get in a classroom setting or even in a home if you just stay there! The girls broke into song singing that very one on our way to the food bank and haven't stopped talkin...

Monday, August 22, 2011. A week ago today the doctor told me that what I'm dealing with isn't in my head, isn't uncommon and can be worked with, although not cured per say. My world shifted when I realized that my eating has to change not because I want to be thin and healthy but because what I'm eating is literally making me sick. This is my new adventure. I confess I am still trying to adjust to that reality and I'm not sure I can do that permanently. I've often said if I were allergic to chocolate...

Sunday, September 19, 2010. Every once in awhile I hear something that affects me profoundly. Even less often I am moved to the point of deciding it's time to change and then DO! Today is one of those few and far between moments. Today I've had it! And that's a good thing. It's one step in the right direction and one more finger letting go of my grasp on what I call mine. Yes, I should! Maybe in the future we will be able to. I'm working on flipping our list. The list is the top 5 things on which we use ...

Friday, April 29, 2011. Yep, that's me. Could be a combo of too many late nights, caffeine and not enough fruits and veggies. Could be hormonal. Could be the moon. Who knows! I do know it's ME. I'm c-r-a-n-k-y! Like, send the children outside so mom doesn't snap their heads off, cranky. Like, don't ask me how my day is when you ate all the BBQ chips again, cranky. Like, can't find what I want on the computer therefore the computer is stupid, cranky. Yep. The computer. I do believe I will put myself to be...
