Most people tell me they can’t notice anything wrong with my face. I don’t think they are lying, but think maybe they’re not looking close enough to notice. Or who knows, perhaps they are lying to spare my feelings. For me, it is super noticeable, but then again, it’s my face. I can feel all […]

The past two weekends, I’ve been cleaning and reorganizing our “schoolroom.” It’s actually the family room, but our school stuff lives there. Sometimes we do school work here, sometimes upstairs. I don’t feel totally done, but I probably never would. It’s as good as it’s going to get, so we started school on Monday. Here

This time of year always seems to put me in a funk because the anniversary of my brother’s death is in August, followed by his birthday in September. I wrote a post for the anniversary but didn’t publish it. Maybe I’ll post it for his birthday. So, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with

Trying to plan school for the fall while having no idea what will be going on in the world is confusing. Last year we went to a hybrid twice a week. I taught kindergarten, and Chaosman was in class with me. Animal Lover was in 1st, and Purplelicious was in the pre-k room. Our plan

I love The Office. I’ve watched every episode a thousand times, but I still love rewatching. Even though we have it on DVD, I often watch it on Netflix, and I am so sad that they will be removing it soon. I also love reading, so I’ve compiled a list of books for people who

I know today is Wednesday, but it feels like a Monday to me because Mike was off work Monday and Tuesday this week. He strategically picked this week to take a couple of days off because he’s off on Friday for July 4th, so he will have just a two day work week this week.

During rest time to today, while I was tidying up a few things, I was admiring our entryway. I used to dislike our entryway, and think there was no way it could be improved, so realizing just how much I liked it today seemed like a big deal. Living in a raised ranch (like anything
