Nobody’s dead or maimed, I’m calling it a win.
Day one of the 2014-2015. I’ve got assignments assigned, pencils sharpened, and schedules color-coded. I’ve even got my workspace organized! It’s a first day of school miracle! I knew today would not go according to plan; I even planned for it! New routines have to be broken in. I get this. I’m not new. Still […]

The good thing about what Victoria Osteen said
In case you missed it, Victoria Osteen, wife of Joel Osteen, has stunned Christendom with … well, I’ll let you listen to her pronouncement. Amen, Bill. Amen. Here’s a transcript if you can’t watch the video: “I just want to encourage every one of us to realize when we obey God, we’re […]

Everything *was* awesome!
Last night we went to Lego Kids Fest. Despite the fact that I was bone tired and yesterday had kicked me up one side of North Texas and down the other, a good time was had by all. If you have kids (or if you can borrow some) and Kid Fest comes to your area, […]

Fine Arts Friday: Carrot in the carrot cake
Our Fine Arts Friday is officially kaput. Next week, Fridays will be devoted to enrichment days at a local private school. To be fair, the kids will be taking art (at least three of the four will), and we’re going to be stopping and picnicking and hiking at our local nature preserve. But it won’t […]

Health/career options field trip! Visit to the DMV or post office? Government-in-action field trip! We also like the more traditional field trips as well: zoos, museums, etc. […]

Terrible Tuesday: Back in the car
School still doesn’t start till next week, but all the appointments are now back on the calendar. That means an extra six hours in the car a week, which means the return of audio books! This year is slightly different because the girls will not be trekking to the boys therapy appointments this year, so […]

Go forth and learn stuff!
Today is the first day of public school in our area, and judging by my Facebook feed, for a lot of people all over the country. You can almost smell the excitement: teachers finally putting into action all of your plans made over the summer, kids with all their supplies together for the first (and […]

Start with compassion
I would like to start out by saying pro-lifers are the most amazing, compassionate, caring people I know. They not only pour out their blood, sweat, and tears to speak out for the unborn, they also adopt kids, foster, kids, adopt shelter animals, feed the homeless, take care of the elderly and infirm, etc. etc. […]

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 […]
