Today I am thankful for birthday parties, which is a good thing because they can be a snootful of work. Sometimes when we’re gearing up for a party I start wishing it was just over. I keep thinking that there’s just too much work and there’ll be too many people and I just don’t feel [...]

The library had a book sale and I went and spent five bucks and got lots of books. So today I’m also thankful for book sales and the libraries that put them on.

Today I am thankful for leftover oatmeal. Not just because it makes breakfast the next day so much simpler, but because it gives me a reason to feel creative and thrifty.
So today I opened up two containers of oatmeal that were the leftovers from two different days. I put them in a pot and added [...]

Last night I was super tired. Wednesday Night Dinner can be a lot of work and often when it’s over I’ll be dead-tired and really wound up. Sometimes, like last night, my legs will be aching and my body will just be worn out, but I’ll be too wound up to go to sleep. It [...]

Today I made a superhero for medical terminology class. We’re supposed to make up twelve medical terms, using real medical term parts, and draw a cartoon character who has all of those conditions.
So I drew up Epiguy who has exacidoptysis (spitting out acid) and anamyomegaly (excessive enlargement of the muscles) and other like conditions. After [...]

Today I am thankful for bananas. Those crazy yellow fruits are so versatile and yummy. You can cut them up into cereal for a breakfast treat; you can smother them in peanut butter for a snack; you can mush them up to feed to the baby and, of course, you can throw them at each [...]

Oh my! It’s the third of November and I haven’t started my traditional Thanksgiving lead-up thanksgiving. As always I must remind you all that this was my sister’s fabulous idea. If I don’t she’ll call me up and yell at me.
Today I am thankful for errands. For an excuse to be outside in the [...]

I would have liked this to have been more pulled together, but if I don’t get it up here I will lose track of it forever. That would be a horrible waste of a good idea so I’m just going to post what I have so far. It is in no particular order.

I’ve been listening to lies this week. I listened even though I knew they were lies. And then I kept being surprised when I felt upset about it.
So, Tuesday I went out shopping. It’s my official errand day where I run around like a crazy person doing grocery shopping for myself and some for Crystal. [...]

This title of this post isn’t really true, but I’m really not sure I can make it sound interesting either. I’m posting because I have remembered why we have a category called ‘Life, Children and Dishes’, and why that category has more posts in it than any other category on our blog. Aside from [...]
