Sure, as long as I’m appreciated
This morning Ben found an e-mail from a friend that he’s been trying to visit with – and yes he is available to visit. Tonight. My house is not ready for company. Not even 15 year old company. I forgot Continue reading Sure, as long as I’m appreciated
Saturday Evening Chores
Dan is bathing K, including getting the tangles out of her hair. The latter is epic. M and Ben are washing dishes – we had pizza tonight with gf crust (from healthy bread in 5 min a day, I’m out Continue reading Saturday Evening Chores
No, not the coffee!
In the process of diagnosing my celiac, the gastroenterologist noticed that I have GERD. Now that I know it, I notice it too. And caffeine is indeed a trigger for me. No, not the coffee! Not the tea! And not Continue reading No, not the coffee!

Dan and I got up to the session on insurance at Financial Peace university – Oh boy, that last video montage was a tear jerker. I’m not sure where all the papers are, though I think I know how many Continue reading We interrupt yesterday’s panic list with new projects
Brain Overflow
I need to phone M’s friends for a play date – they just moved a mile away from upstairs. The third floor is being re-painted and cleaned, anyone looking for a 4 bedroom in Attleboro? I hope you have kids. Continue reading Brain Overflow
That’s My Girl
You know those extra books in the Homeschooling catalogues? The ones I buy so I have something for me in the big box of curriculum the UPS guy drops off? A few years ago it was a paper engineering book Continue reading That’s My Girl
Co-op schedule bounces
We had our planning meeting last Thursday night. I typed the family info, class info, and who was teaching the classes into the co-op data base. I “scheduled” the children into the classes by squinting at their names, ages and Continue reading Co-op schedule bounces
