I’m attempting to drink my coffee black. I’m normally a three sugars and four cream kind of coffee drinker. I thought that cutting back on the calories in my coffee would be an easy switch. It’s not. Taste aside, I’ve burned my mouth thoroughly. Turns out, cold cream cools down hot coffee. Who would have […]
It’s been a rough day.
Potty training was going so well. No accidents for days and days and days. Today was a setback. She peed in her pants four times. Once, she went for a two-for-one deal and peed on my pants too. At church. Moments after we’d arrived. That scent at church on me today? Yeah. Sorry about that. […]
The best one, according to Blaine.
The best one, according to Blaine. I voted for Ruby’s funny face… but this one shows most of us in true colors. May 2012.
Feline conversations and other delusions.
Ruby: “Mom, what do horseflies make?” “Um, they bite. I don’t really know what else they do.” “Oh. I thought maybe they made horseradish.” For what it’s worth, horseradish is on Ruby’s top ten list for favorite things. It’s right up there with broccoli, cauliflower, salad, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and anything containing sugar that isn’t […]

Dear, dear girl.
Charlotte’s on bath #2 for the day. See that white cord behind her? That’s for my vacuum. That’ll teach me for cleaning. The perils of leaving a peanut butter jar, opened and unattended: If you look carefully, you’ll see the blue permanent marker on her hand. That’s what happens when you leave the markers within […]
the night of weird
It’s hard to find something to write about after a weekend of nothing exciting. We butchered the chickens we’d raised for meat. My freezer is very full and my neck very sunburned. Note to self: Standing with your back to the sun causes other problems not considered. We’re planning a vacation. Possibly this weekend and […]
Keep ‘em coming… Giveaway #2!
Can one small blog handle two giveaways at the same time?! Purex giveaway ends tonight. Next up: Honey Bunches of Oats! Five winners. Yes, five coupons for a box of Honey Bunches of Oats, 13 oz. or larger are up for grabs. They sent me a box, saying they added more bunches. They did! Sterling’s […]
Jumpy much?
Liberty found a spider in the house. Now, I don’t mind spiders all that much. Kill them and move on, I guess. But this one, about the size of a golf ball and quite hairy, was bordering on the large spectrum, and it was in my house. I did the only decent thing under such […]
Charlotte.
While her older siblings got to ride horseback, one little girl never took her eyes off of them.
