I’m back in my hometown for another week. This summer is making me dizzy. Woozy links! Lately, every time I hear of another middle eastern country going up in flames, I think “Didn’t they do this already?” In the case of Egypt, yes, they did. I’ll be honest, I have a hard time following the […]

And that’s all I’m going to say about that. Links! Dallas physical education teacher wears the same thing for yearbook pictures 40 years. It’s kind of adorable. The end of the car culture. This makes me a little sad. Taking to the open road is one of those quintessential American experiences. These guys are definitely […]

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, […]
This week our girls have Girl Scout Twilight Camp and our boys have Cub Scout Twilight Camp. For the first year in 5 years, I’m not at Girl Scout Camp. I miss it. And I’m very, very tired after just one day. I’m too old for camp. Links! Coffee as a health beverage. I drink […]

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 […]

The news out of Oklahoma is devastating. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire community of Moore, especially the victims and the first responders. 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: […]

This past weekend, I went to Freedom Works’ BlogCon. I thought about canceling several times in the weeks leading up to the event, because what does my wee little blog have in common with the big political blogger attending this event? 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 […]
