Problems.

A few of you have commented that I’ve been having problems w/ seeing the blog or entrecard. Thank you for noticing, b/c it doesn’t always do it for me. Kinda like taking a noisy car to the mechanic, then it quits. I let dh know (he does the techy side of it) and he fixed the latest problem. So, thank you and always feel...

The Pastor’s Ass.

My mom sent me this in email, so I thought I’d share! The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another...

Happy Halloween!

On this occasion, I thought I’d tell a couple true stories! When I was a teenager, we had 2 neighbors (yes, only 2…we lived out in the boonies…we all had roughly 15+ acres). Neighbor Jones was a great family; I used to babysit their 2 kids. They had lots of animals like we did and we all got along well. Neighbor Smith wasn’t quite...

Tagged!

Blue Monkey Butt sent me this…list 7 things about myself and pass it on to 7 others, who in turn list 7 things! Ok, here we go… 1. I’m the youngest of 5 kids. 2. I NEVER wanted to have a son (now I have 2 and they’re great!). 3. Sometimes I don’t take a shower until just before my husband comes home (the...

Halloween Party!

Last night our church held its annual Halloween party. The traditional dinner is pot-luck chili and cornbread followed by trunk-or-treat, except it was raining so we just did the candy inside. The kids always dress up, and sometimes adults do, too. It’s always fun. Our dd was Cleopatra, ds1 was a pirate, and the baby was a pumpkin. They were all really cute, if...

Pics of Room!

So here’s the room, before and after. One room down, 2 to go (and a bathroom)! In the before pic, the floor really was all splotchy and uneven…it wasn’t dirt. My dd has been sleeping in her brother’s room during all this…sometimes in his bed, sometimes on the floor (thick futon mattress). Either one can be in either place at any given time. It’s...

Updates!

My dd had a blast at outdoor school…got stuck in a bog for a few minutes but that’s the worst that happened. My mom had a great time, too. The refinished room is done!! I’ll put up pics tomorrow or Tuesday am.  Dd loves it. My parents will be coming back early next year…we’ll be attacking the living room, floor to ceiling. (can’t wait!)...

Bad Drug Reaction!

Entrecard friends, sorry I was MIA yesterday…we had a crazy afternoon and something scary happen last night that kept me off the computer and nearly put me in the hospital. My luck lately has not been good! I had a very bad migraine yesterday evening and took some Exc. Migr. like normal. My sinuses were also killing me (part of the reason my head...

More Work…

My dad decided that while we were redoing my dd’s floor, it would look good repainted, too. And while we were at it, might as well paint the trim! More work! It’s going to be a totally different room. So today is the second coat and the floor has to be stained. Wow…That’s what happens when you buy a 1920’s farmhouse! Dd’s coming home...

A Tornado Hit My House.

Ok, not really. Catchy title, though, right? My house just LOOKS like it’s been hit by a tornado. And at this point, it would be easier to deal with. My parents are here visiting for a week and a few days. So all their stuff is around. Which is fine…I’m used to that part. *back story= When we first got our dog, he went...
