So tired. When you’re tired, go with what’s easy. Alphabetical links! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Fearmongering is a sorry substitute for journalism. Blog without a blog. If you’re interesting in trying out blogging, but not sure you want to commit to your own blog, check out this article. Cracked censors itself: 6 […]
I’m in my hometown this week to help out my parents with some health issues. (Nothing emergency-ish, My mom’s having a knee-replacement surgery. Prayers are much appreciated.) Coming home is always weird and a little scary. Weird, because my hometown has grown and changed so much, I hardly recognize it. Scary because these are the worst, […]
Thirteen years ago today… Our Little Miss is 13. My heart is overflowing with all sorts of emotions. I can barely believe that this used to be her! And us! Man, we were noobs. She was only 4lb 15 oz when she was born. Other than being small, she was very healthy, but she was […]
This week we have no end of year events. No Scouts or concerts or parties. It’s all done. So you know what that means, don’t you? Yes, Summer Softball and camp preparation begin in earnest. Sprite has four days of softball in a row, I have four hours of training for camp, and the kiddos all […]

God bless the teachers who shielded and comforted those children. My heart breaks for them all. If you want to help, here are a few organizations you can donate to: […]

And on Mother’s Day weekend. And the Arlington Homeschool Book Fair. (I’d miss Miller […]
For parents of school-age kids (even homeschool kids) late April to May becomes a frenzy of class parties, concerts, awards ceremonies, and the like. Not to mention we’re in full swing of spring sports. It can make a mom twitchy about the eyelids. Fortunately, I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the […]
On the occasion of my 39th birthday, let us recall that on this date: In 1789, George Washington takes the oath of office, becoming the first president of the United States of America. The Louisiana Purchase is purchased in 1803, doubling the size of the U.S. Willie Nelson is born in1933. Hitler committed suicide on […]
I have had the feeling I’ve been forgetting something for at least the past week (I forget exactly). And sometimes I’ll remember one of the things I’ve forgotten, but there’s always something else lurking in the shadows of my mind. What I need is a Rememberall, but like Neville, I’d still be unable to remember […]
Yesterday, my heart was too full for the frivolity and fun of links. My prayers are with the families of little Martin Richard, Krystal Campbell, and the other as yet unnamed victim Lu Lingzi, as well as all of the injured and their families. As awful as it is at a time like this, it’s […]
