The other morning I woke up and blearily made my way to the bathroom. I had just sat down when KT burst in filled with excitement. (You’d think I could get some privacy by now!) She proudly announced that she was going to make breakfast for all of us. Um…Ok.
So she went to work armed with wonderful . . . → Read More: The Cook

Ahhh…Memorial Day. Most people enjoy themselves with BBQ, picnics, camping and just hanging out with friends and family. It’s a fun non-work/school day to celebrate the beginning of Summer.
Yet, amazingly, Memorial Day is supposed to mean something a little bit more. Yesterday we passed our little bitty town graveyard and Mimi counted 8 flags and several . . . → Read More: Memorial Day

In my Thursday night class they like to mix us up a bit and keep us even in size. So, last night, they moved a gal over from another table to our table. She looked at me and said;
“Oh good, I get to sit with the lady who laughs all the time. This should be fun!”
“Me?” I asked . . . → Read More: Laughter

Ooooo…two weeks in a row! This week we are asked to post:
1. Your suitcase/s or travel bag.
2. Your ground.
3. Something you are powerless to.
I had to think about these, but here is what I came up with.
1. Your suitcase/s or travel bag. I don’t travel all that much (across town and back constantly doesn’t count) so . . . → Read More: Stuff Portrait Friday

Then they tell me that I can take a picture…but that I had “better not put it on that blog!” I can’t resist, I simply have to take it for . . . → Read More: OUCH!!!

“Hello?” I asked as I picked up the phone
“Hi…is KT there?” responded the voice on the other end
“No…she’s still at school. Can I take a message for you?”
“Well… I just wanted to call and congratulate KT!”
“You did? Congratulate her for what?” I asked cautiously
Then she proceeded to tell me in her very chatty way, all the . . . → Read More: Election Results

There are a lot of little games and challenges going on in the Blog World. So far, I’ve just wistfully watched from afar. Today, I thought I would take up the challenge from one of my favorites. Kristine puts up an assignment each week asking for three different photos. It’s up to each person to interpret . . . → Read More: And now for something completely different!

Mimi came up to me and said
“Mom, if you are going to take my picture, you better do it right now before it gets even more smeared.”
Oh. Apparently, I’ve been falling down on the job because it hadn’t even occurred to me to take Mimi’s picture. Or maybe I’ve just got those girls really well trained.

Last week, the day before the deadline, KT decided that she wanted to run for ASB Office. She just had to decide which position she wanted to run for. According to KT, the whole election was pretty much a popularity contest. Realistically, she knew that a lot of people liked her, but that she wasn’t considered . . . → Read More: Vote for KT!!

As Mother’s Day quickly approaches, my thoughts naturally turn to my mother. In particular, I thought about the many things my mom taught me. As any parenting specialist will tell you, children learn the most from what you do, not what you say. From personal experience, I know that this is true.
