My Un-Sweet Husband
It really makes me cringe. I know it isn’t all that huge in the grand scheme of things. I mean really, what with global warming and all (right Mr. Gore?), it just doesn’t rank up there in the top list of world issues. Being aware of this, I still reserve the right to vent […]

She Sure Is Sneaky!
So my friend Cheri sends the most vague and mysterious email this morning. After I determined that she must get up way earlier than us in the mornings, I popped over to her place to see what was up. I was blessed by finding that she had given me a blog award. That means a […]

A Hard Day In Town
So, we were in town some today. The kids were great…it was the other folks who encouraged me to stumble. Father saved the day just before I blew my testimony. He’s good that way. I submit this not as an example of righteousness, but as proof (only those who do not know me in […]

“Hey Mom, I want to do what your friend in the covered wagons was doing. I want to say, ‘Is this a […]

Amen To That!
When the clock read 9:21 this morning…
Flower Child: “It’s really 8:21 in the morning.”
Flower Child: “But it’s 9:21a.m. under Communism.”
The girl is right ~ I hate Daylight Saving Time, too.

Too Quiet
During a too-quiet-for-comfort moment this afternoon, Doodle was discovered scaling Mr. Visionary’s bedside refrigerator, atop which is a month’s supply small stash of dark chocolate.
Flower Child: ‘Doodle, what are you doing?’
Doodle: ‘I’m keeping myself interested.’
Flower Child: ‘Well, you need to get down before I tell Mom. You know you’re not allowed up there.’
Doodle: ‘Well, what […]

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
I am quite sure it has gotten worse since we moved to the farm. In fact, I can hardly remember anything more than a rare occurence when we were city-folk. And it never happened at an innapropriate time…at least not often. Things are definitely regressing.
I am a very visual person. I can perfectly picture house […]

Men Cooking Breakfast
The once-a-month opportunity for a morning of calm, peaceful “girl time” is not my favorite part. Compared to what we are used to, the quiet is actually a little disconcerting. As much as we enjoy our time alone for all things girly, we secretly (shhh…) are glad when our guys get home from their monthly […]
