We have six kids. That fact alone prompts stares virtually anytime we venture out with the whole group, but this week my charming nieces and nephews are in town from Florida, so Thursday evening we had the four of them spend the night with our six kiddos and then Friday we took all ten children [...]
Wow, it’s been five months since I last posted. Grandpa, I’m so sorry! (My Grandpa regularly comments on how much he likes hearing all the family news since they live in AZ). So, here’s the quick update for the three of you who don’t know: Thanks to el crappo economo, my website business started tanking [...]
Church softball season has started up and I’m on the team again this year. Two years ago was my first season since high school (and we won’t discuss how long ago that was), and I had soooo much fun. Last year Henry was just a teeny tiny so I sat the season out. Last Thursday [...]
Planting complete! And now, pictures. Must have something to prove (to myself) that I actually did plant a garden. You know, just in case it all dies. I like to think positive. The side garden box Gardening is so much more fun when your big sister helps you! Blue-eyed Trinity Flower (also a few other [...]
My green thumb, or the Black Thumb of Death as I like to call it, began its hibernation faze when I was about fifteen and has yet to really recover.

Oh, my brain is fried. Happily, it isn’t really required for the laundry folding that I have to do this evening. I’m still working a gazillion hours on web stuff, and I will be so happy when it’s pinned down and I can move on to something else. Today my big project was revamping the [...]
You know, I think I like this getting up at six thing. Since I’ve never been a morning person and have a long track record of scowling at silly people who are cheerful before the sunrise, I thought this adjustment would be much harder than it is. On the other hand, this month is website [...]
Gak! Do you realize that Christmas is two weeks from Thursday? Ack! I was feeling all organized because most of my Christmas shopping is done and almost everything that isn’t for the kids is wrapped. But our cards aren’t done, my letter isn’t written, George hasn’t taken the picture or figured out what he’s going [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! We had ours tonight (Wednesday) as is our usual custom, and then our van went kablooie on the way home, which has also been our usual custom as of late. Blurg! Our half an hour return trip became an hour and a half return trip requiring a mere two stops to the side [...]
