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...

Rumors About Obama?

I couldn’t come up with anything creative to say today, so I stole a post my husband wrote on one of his blogs. What if they were true? Would it really make a difference, or is Obama too much of a savior in people’s eyes to see the truth? I’m thinking that Obama could produce his birth certificate from Kenya and he would still...

Horror Movies for Toddlers?

I ran across a post on a blog recently about a parent that lets their 3 year old child watch horror movies. This person went on to describe how the child now won’t eat pumpkin because it’s afraid of them. I was shocked, so I left a quick comment about those movies not being appropriate for a 3 year old. I don’t expect the...

A Minor Miracle.

A couple days ago I woke up in a less-than-motherly mood. And my 3yr old woke up in a less-than-obedient mood. We butted heads over getting dressed and it actually took 45 minutes beginning to end. Fun, huh? Then it was time to go on our walk. We discussed how he was supposed to behave, to sit and not try to run around. (Two...

If We Were Nudists…

Ok, Wayne, this one’s for you (see comment in previous post). Imagine that we all decided to be nudists. It would make a huge impact on the economy. Think of all the revenue that’s brought in to clothing manufacturers. It all starts with farming…cotton, wool, hemp to a degree. Then to the makers of fabrics and then clothing. And then to the stores that...

A Girl Just Can’t Win!

Have you heard the complaining about Sarah Palin’s expenses on clothes, makeup and hair? $150K on her and her family. “The clothing purchases have raised questions about the propriety of using party money for such expenses. The Republican National Committee said the clothes belong to the committee, while John McCain’s campaign said the clothing would go to a “charitable purpose” after the campaign. It...

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...
