Giving up FB for awhile.

 I have been thinking that it might be time that I give up Facebook for a little while. I do believe that FB is a great tool for keeping in touch with people. I have reconnected with so many people from past duty stations, and I love that about it. I can see what they [...]

Random stuff

We are out of toilet paper. How does one run out of toilet paper? (yes, I am going to the store in a minute)
The freshman bought me a Diet Pepsi today with HIS OWN MONEY!  I sent him to the store for milk. Actually, I begged and pleaded for him to go to the store [...]

Book thoughts

 

Today was library day. We don’t have a set library day. We just go when we have run out of books to read.  Some days at the library are wonderful. I find so many books that I want that I can’t carry them all. Some days I can’t find anything worth reading. Today was one [...]

Just a heads up.

Biscuits made with baking soda instead of baking powder will not be edible.
That is all…

Menu Planning

I just finished up the menu for the next two weeks. It is one of my least favorite chores. I wish that it didn’t save me so much time because then I could really put it off and not bother with it. However, it is a life saver. It is so nice to know what [...]

This and that

I don’t have a Saturday Mom Confession today. I think it is because I was a perfect mother this week. I even checked. I just asked the kids. “Guys, was I a perfect mother this week?”
I got a “Yes!” reply right away. I am not sure what they want, but I will take it. 
A lot [...]

We have had little rain and a lot of warm temps which makes the berries big, sweet, and juicy.  We went to our usual picking location, and unfortunately, many other people had already been there. It was kind of [...]

Getting a new camera

Our 16th anniversary is next week, and we have decided to purchase ourselves a new camera. Not that we really need an excuse to buy ourselves a camera, but making it an anniversary gift makes me feel less guilty.  I am excited and nervous as I always am when we are getting ready to make a [...]

I’m melting!

Does that make you think of the Wicked Witch of the East? That is about how I feel right now.
It is flippin’ hot. I really try not to use foul language, but when you wake up at 7 AM and it is already 81 degrees in your house there is cause for foul language. We [...]

It is hot.

It is really hot. Really, really hot. Let me see. It hit 89 degrees in my house yesterday. Doesn’t that sound like fun? Today it is going to be 93 or something like that. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 96. Fun stuff.
We don’t have air conditioning. I am not alone either. Most of the [...]
