    100 word challenge: Over

        15 minutes left. How long can I stay under? It’s peaceful. There’s no pressure other than the push of water against my skin. No demands. No expectations. No rules I don’t understand or even know but am expected to follow. “Tommy, it’s time to go.” Not even the water can block out mom’s […]

    Summertime, and the reading is easy

    Summertime, and the reading is easy

    Dust off your library cards (or, if you’re a homeschooler, pay up your fines!), it’s time for summer reading! But first, some thoughts on summer reading plans, programs, and purposes. (Please note, this is just my opinion based on my own experience, not The Authoritative Method for Summer Reading.) I love to read, and one […]

    Hard time letting go

    Hard time letting go

    It would be easier to say goodbye to summer vacation if the summer weather left with it. This is why I don’t school in August: I can’t think when it’s 100°. Oh well, when it’s gone, it’s gone. Goodbye, summer . . .   After tadalafil sales online a few weeks of usage my hair […]

    Last cannonball of summer

    Last cannonball of summer

    Okay. This is it. This is the no-fooling, grab it while it’s hot, last day of summer. Cannonball! Today we went to the pool for the last day. We’ll laze about reading Harry Potter, and taking our last “light” summer day. (No, we still aren’t finished with history and geography. Yes, we will get finished […]

    Cat herder, extraordinaire

    One of my favorite Superbowl commercials happens to be an excellent metaphor for my life right now.   Right now I’m trying to get everything ready we can start the school year strong after Labor Day. Except we never really quit the last school year. We have just over two weeks to get through the […]

    Fine Arts Friday: Enjoying Minnesota

    *Notice: This post has nothing to do with fine arts. I guess I didn’t need to keep the “Fine Arts Friday” tag, but I am a creature of habit. We’re visiting MTG’s family in rural Minnesota. I was really looking forward to doing some sky watching. This weekend brings us another supermoon and the Perseids meteor […]

    When good things happen to good people

    When good things happen to good people

    We have these really awesome friends, the Malones. If you look up Christian hospitality in the dictionary, you’ll find their picture. They are also possibly the most fun family on the planet. Part of that fun comes from the joie de vivre that they all have, and part of it comes from the fact that […]

    Lovely Louisville

    I think I figured out how to properly say Louisville like a native: shove three marshmallows in your mouth and say it. Unfortunately, I don’t generally have marshmallows with me. But despite the difficulty with the name, we loved the little of Louisville that we saw. The people were awesome, and the area along the […]

    Bone tired and ready to play

    Bone tired and ready to play

    The National Right to Life Convention wrapped up yesterday and we got everything on the truck by 1 a.m. It was wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting some very cool new people as well as some heroes of the pro-life movement. But we worked hard, and  I’m weary beyond belief.  It’s obviously time to […]
