Who Can Relate?

I’m sick again…bronchitis this time.  I’m feeling pretty depleted.  However, it certainly could be worse, and this too shall pass.  I sure can relate to this pic, though, and of course, I think it’s cute:

Kid’s Comments

My kids are constantly saying humorous things. I just realized today, that I haven’t posted any of their funny comments in a while. I don’t ever want to get too busy, bogged down, or too consumed in daily activities that I forget to take notice of the cute things they say. In the last couple [...]

Mom

Well, you know what this Sunday is, don’t you? Yeah, I know, I guess you do. If you’ve been in any kind of store, turned on the T.V., or been on the Internet, you must know that Mother’s Day is almost here! However, I hope it won’t be just another “special” day to rush frantically [...]

Sarah’s First Plastic Card…

…her first library card, that is. What did you think I meant? What kind of fool do ya think I am?! Yeah, the library card is quite enough for now! People are constantly saying to me, “Just think about what it will be like when Sarah goes to get her Driver’s License.” Instead, I think [...]

Getting Ready For Church

This morning, getting my son ready for church was like many Sunday mornings ’round here. The only difference this particular morning was that I tried to find the humor in it, instead of just getting so flustered and upset… This is how things went with my little Kerry: _________________________ Kerry came out wearing a mismatched [...]

“What I Wish I Had Known…

…My First Year of Homeschooling” is the Friday meme for “The Heart of the Matter.” (I found it at Tracy’s blog, here). The main thing that comes to mind for me is that I think I would have stressed a little less and enjoyed a little more. I actually answered this same meme several months [...]

Kid’s Stuff–(Smile-makers)

–My son has really been acting out the last couple of days. (I think Kerry assumes he can get away with more, and he’s mad that Daddy is not here.) Anyway, I’ve had to “crack down” on him. Sunday night, the kids and I had the following dialogue : “You’re S-O-O-O mean!” exclaimed Kerry. “Apparently, [...]

Cute Kid’s Comments (About and From)

This post is dedicated to my kids and all kids. Check out the following comments about children: We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said. ~Author Unknown While [...]

So, I’m The Expert Now?!

I took the hubby’s advice today (he loves it when I do that!) About 10:30 this morning, I threw on some old clothes and sneakers and headed out to the backyard. I began cleaning up the yard; clearing a path from rocks, sticks, toys, and various other debris. Next, I grabbed some planks of wood [...]

Thursday Thirteen #1

O.k., I am combining two things here: –I’m adding a post to the recent “Questions about Homeschooling” series (see here). {This is just a brief, informal, (hopefully a bit lighter and funnier) post} –For the first time, I’m contributing to the weekly “Thursday Thirteen.” (Many other bloggers participate in this regularly. The last one I’ve [...]
