• The phone call…

  February 27, 2009

  Well, it has been quite a month. I think I might be finally capable of sitting down and writing about it. One Thursday night almost exactly a month ago, we received a phone call that threw our life into a whirlwind. It was about 8:30pm when my husband's cell phone rang. I got to it…

  The CPSIA (Consumer Produce Safety Improvement Act). Have you heard of this? I have been reading about this the past few days. Basically - a child swallowed a button and died from lead poisoning (which is awful and horrifying) but this -among other things I'm sure- has prompted this law that will...

• Broken Resolutions, Brady Bunch and The Bangles…

  January 7, 2009

  Well, I already broke my New Year's resolution to write once a week. I guess it's better to just get that out of the way early on.  Since I am pretending that I'm NOT a homeschooling mom, and that everyone in the house has clean underwear that I don't need to wash, and that my…

  Today, after all of The Colonel's drugs kicked it - I decided we could make it to church after all. Since it was Easter and all. I was glad to not have to miss church, but I kept The Colonel in service with me and didn't send him to his Sunday school class just in…

  Tip: If in fact you happen to be up with a sobbing child at 2am the night before Easter, and IF in fact you don't really relish the idea of sitting in an emergency room for several hours and IF in fact you "google" the phrase: ear infection home remedy...you may want to exerci...

  March 18, 2008

  A conversation with an un-named child tonight - Me: "Go get your pajamas on" Un-named Child: "Do I have to?!" Me: "Um, YES - that would be why I said 'Go get your pajamas on'. Because that is what I want you to do. Right now." Un-named Child: "Why do I have to w...
