My birthday celebrations ended up being 2 days long! Dwight took a half-day on Tuesday & we went out to eat for lunch. He took me to this “create your own stir-fry” place in town that I’ve never been to yet & it was really good! Then we got to just spend a couple hours [...]

WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN (and in the process grandchildren)
To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students…
here is something to make you chuckle.
Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the
thought that even God’s omnipotence did not extend to His own [...]

Just got back from taking my kids to the dentist. Nick had his adult molars sealed (it’s what they do to help prevent cavities) and Jessica had two cavities filled! I feel like a bad mom because Jess was sad & sore & I made her go to Kindergarten. She can’t have her morning snack [...]

(Had to switch the look again – just trying to find one that “works” well with my bad eyes! Plus, others have said that it’s hard to read. Is this one better?)
It’s freezing here! We’ve had a drastic dip in the temperatures lately – our nighttime lows have been in the low 40’s! It’s way [...]

OK – the Job Fair is tomorrow. I went to 3 different stores today just to find some nice, but inexpensive, resume paper. Finally, I found a place that sells it by the sheet. The lady behind the counter showed me my options & then showed me the one that is the “most popular choice”. [...]

I just talked to the vet, and Bailey is a pretty healthy puppy….who just needs to be on a Senior Diet! Apparantly, she doesn’t have enough enzymes in her liver to process a lot of protein & fat. He equated it to a person being lactose intolerant. This is great news! Now we just need [...]

I have a strange feeling. It’s a clash between restfulness and being a ‘bump on a log’. The last two days here have been rainy and cool & I have kind of been moping around the house. Sure, I’ve gotten the dishes done, gone grocery shoopping & the laundry’s been washed, dried & put away….but I usually do that [...]

It’s a question I ask myself all the time & it almost NEVER has an answer.
Seems like the harder we try to stay on budget, the more things pop up to throw a wrench in the works. Just got our dog Bailey back from the vet and it cost us $320!!!UGH! She has a sprained leg [...]

September 11th. 5 years ago, I was packing up our family’s stuff to get ready to move into our house later that month. Dwight telecommuted to his job in Washington, DC from the basement of our condo. Nick was 2 & Jessica was a little over 3 months old.
I remember Dwight coming upstairs to the [...]

I have to share a “God is cool” moment that happened to me yesterday! I was walking up to my childrens’ school, when I overheard a lady talking on her cell phone about someone needing a double stroller. I have a double stroller from when my kids were young & I’ve been looking for a [...]
