Hardly Prepared For The Real World

I have made it no secret that Math (Algebra in particular) is NOT my best subject. I did poorly in my high school algebra classes. Yes, I did pass the college Algebra classes I had to take, but it was harder than I could have imagined. It didn't help that I hadn't looked at an … Continue reading Hardly Prepared For The Real World →

Celebrating My Children!

In the Bible, in Psalm 127:3-5, it reads: "(3) Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Her Name Up In Lights – Sort Of

There is never a dull moment at our house! It was a weekend full of some really memorable moments. Saturday was a laid back kind of day.

Sam has been running back and forth to various doc appointments and helmet appointments, plus helping her folks out with her sister. Both of us are running on little … Continue reading A Fun and Busy Weekend →

Friday Flashback – Tile Towers

When my oldest boys were younger, they used to have to do fundraising for their school. If they raised enough money or got a certain number of orders, they won a prize. One time the prize was a Webkinz stuffed animal. Each animal came with a code. You would go to the website and "adopt" … Continue reading Friday Flashback – Tile Towers →

My Kids – Posers?

One of the things I love about Facebook is the ability to meet others who share the same interests as me. I belong to many different "fan" groups and have connected with some very cool people through those groups. Some time ago, I saw a painting of Moe Howard that I thought was very well … Continue reading My Kids – Posers? →

Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half

Monday is usually my day for getting stuff done. I do laundry. I fold laundry. I load the dishwasher and run it. I pick up the living room and vacuum. I clean up the kitchen and clear the counters. None of that got done today. My day started with getting Andrew out of bed, fixing … Continue reading Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half →
