Like a good little girl, I posted my goals for the year on January 1st. Note, I did not call them resolutions. I meant to post about my progress on March 31, since that would be the end of the quarter and I’m compulsive I like symmetry. But for whatever reason I didn’t do it.…
Miscellany
It’s Tuesday evening of my week-long spring break and I feel like I’ve gotten nothing done! I’ve actually gotten a lot done, I just haven’t touched any of the school planning. Yesterday afternoon I took the kids to 4H. The kids did paper bag presentations. I was proud of my little guy standing up and…

Afternoon out
My mother-in-law is giving me an afternoon out tomorrow. She and my father-in-law watch the kids fairly often when I have a doctor’s appointment or some other appointment where taking the kids with me is inconvenient. But this is different.

You have got to be kidding me! The Census Bureau sent us a letter telling us that they’ll be sending us a census form. How much money did these useless letters cost? And they think they could do a better job with health care? By Kristen H.
How to Wake Up Your Pre-Teen Son
My oldest son is very difficult to wake up in the morning. I’ve tried having him set an alarm clock to no avail. I am usually fairly busy in the mornings and it always irritates me to have to stop what I’m doing and go upstairs to wake him up yet again. Plus he is…
When This Passing World Is Done
by Robert M. McCheyne When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o’er life’s finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then—how much I owe. When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see…
A Digital Copy of Me
This is my older son’s latest video project. He had to write a poem for our book club, so he came up with the idea for a poem and made it into a video. I helped with some of the (very bad) filming. Who knew there was so much to think about with camera angles?…
