Life and Such
Bracing for the Year to Come
So, it’s my birthday. Another year has passed. And what do I have to show for it? I have a place in eternity, a loving husband, beautiful children, and a purpose. That’s all I really need, everything else is secondary. I am richly blessed–and is some cases richly stupid, but we won’t go there today. […]
The Small Stuff
“Oh, ….(insert appropriate curse word here)!” I nudge my husband as I stare in horror at the clock. “Honey, we slept through the alarm!” School started more than half an hour ago, and I’m still in bed. What’s worse, this week is testing, so they’ve already missed at least one segment of their standardized tests. […]
Tis the Season for Allergies
I’ve always been a person who tended to get sick a lot. It has a lot to do with the tumor and surgery I had at birth–something about a weaker immune system. When I was six, they finally diagnosed me as being allergic to beans. When I was seven, they diagnosed me with asthma. By […]
Keeping It Fun
Writing is something I started because I had a story to tell, and I thoroughly enjoyed writing once I started. However, as time has gone on, life has done the same. And just in case you didn’t know, life gets harder the farther along you go. As much as I tried, I can’t quite keep […]
Homeschooling Twist on Fantasy Gaming

I took some loose inspiration from role playing games, but without dice or battles (yet). It played along something like this: The kids knew […]
Family Time
My family lives a state away, and my husband’s family lives a couple states away in the opposite direction. Therefore, 99.9% of our family vacations and holidays involve us traveling to visit one side or the other, or us staying home while one side or the other comes to visit us. We haven’t really ever […]
Preparing for the Future, Part 2
Last week, I hinted (quite heavily) that I have a major change coming up, one that requires pre-planning on the part of my family. And then I was nice enough not to tell you. I’m just all sorts of crazy fun. I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. My family will be actively pursuing […]
Preparing for the Future
I feel like I’ve been in a perpetual season of change. Change, in one form or another, has plagued my life or has been just on the horizon for the past 2 years. Hawaii, my husband’s medical issues, getting out of the military, settling in a “permanent” home on the mainland. A never-ending string of […]
