Why is it genealogy related?….

A commenter wanted to know why a post was marked genealogy related, when she apparently didn’t think the post had anything to do with genealogy. Well you see, dear poster, this is my blog. It is about me researching my ancestors. Or rather, why I sometimes don’t get to research my ancestors. [...]

Please don’t clean my desk…

While Hubby, #1 and I were away at registration the girls were gracious enough to clean the house. I mean they cleaned! But they also cleaned my desk. Now my desk is the only place in the house I allow clutter and disorganization, because well, to me it makes sense. I have piles for [...]

This is my life…

Okay, so here it is in all it’s furry detail. What I have done today:
Taken a bath.
Called the doctor to fill a prescription-they weren’t in.
Driven to the local community college with #1 to have the classes he took in high school transferred to his college. They were closed.
Got hit by a rock that broke [...]

Where were you?…

I can still remember where I was when Elvis died. Well not when he actually died, but the weekend afterward. I was stuck in the back seat of a station wagon with 10 other girls traveling to Juliet Lowe’s home in Atlanta, GA with my 40 something Girl Scout leaders, who were of the age [...]

It’s been months…

I rarely watch daytime TV. In fact, the last time I did watch, I think the kids were home from school for a snow day. So it’s been a few months. Today, I was so tired I decided to just take a day off and watch daytime soaps. And I was caught up [...]

Registered….

It’s been an incredibly busy week as #1, Hubby and I spent it going to Student Orientation. We spent two hot, humid, mind numbing days learning every thing we could about his new college. He is now registered for classes, has a meal plan, a room mate that we haven’t met yet, a [...]

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad’s birthday. Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my favorite guy even though he’s no longer with us. The kids really miss him and today is especially hard being father’s day too.

It’s hot finally…

Summer finally decide to come and we are enjoying the hot, humid weather outside. I am starting to show that part of my heritage that isn’t Scots-Irish. (Okay, I am neither blond haired, nor blue eyed (except when I am very angry)) I am enjoying getting my exercise in the pool instead [...]

I feel like ….

We kept a friends two year old yesterday so I was up at 5 and then we swam most of the day and I forgot that the pharmacist said new meds might make me sun sensitive. I have never had to wear sunscreen in my life having some ancestry that came from some country that [...]

A Shopping we will Go.

Over at Mom’s the Word, they are doing Home Sing Monday.
And today I am going to participate again, because we are signing, Ain’t no mountain High enough.
We had a great week in VBS. 90 children, 50 adults, one salvation, no boo-boos. That’s about as perfect a week as one can get.
God [...]
