We've lived in this house for about 1 1/2 years.It still feels like we don't live here. It's huge...lots of space....but it's just ick.I'm thankful that we have a home this large. But I'm ready for something of my own.*sigh*

Does it happen in a moment?Can you see it in just a day?What happens when your life is truly changed?It's kinda funny, but my husband's life has changed in one day. He quit his part-time job so he is only going to college and working at the fire station. But that gives him two days off in a row after each 24 hour shift. It's nice.A huge burden must have lifted from his shoulders. He's just so

Luke's reading assignment for this week was to read an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. (He's in 6th grade.)He wasn't impressed.I guess he doesn't get what it means to be a hopeless romantic.Well, good.:-)(for now)

I attended a memorial service today. My Granny's BEST friend (40 years of being best friends!) passed away.And though I wasn't surprised about what I heard from this particular denomination's pastor, my eyes were opened to the fact that I really believe everyone pretty much believes what I believe. Wow!Everyone does NOT believe what I believe.So as the words "baptized into the church" were

...or you can teach them like I do.Some days, I feel like it's hit or miss with my kids. I feel like I do really great one day and then all the plans I have for the next day just fall apart. Then I'm beating myself up over their failed educational future. I mean Nate (6 yo boy) can't write legibly and hasn't truly decided if right or left works best for him. Josh (my 7yo boy) guesses at most

...bladder that is.Did you know that if your gall bladder is only functioning at 6% sometimes it starts to spasm? Did you know that the pain of those spasms is equal to labor? (I kid you not.)Did you know that if your husband is a firefighter and you need him to drive you to the doctor, he will be out of pocket and your sweet mother-in-law will save the day?Did you know that a "GI cocktail" is

The old "just skip it" mentality about finances: Well...if the money's there on Sunday, we'll give it to God. If it isn't there...then God didn't provide.The new mentality: It's all God's. If I choose to buy a pair of shoes or a mocha frappe' chiller from TCBY (my very favorite) during the week and don't have money on Sunday to tithe. I am guilty of robbing God. The old "just skip it"

Thankful for a husband who knows how to dismantle and re-mantle(?) a toilet.Lydia has confessed to a "barbie thing" and "nathan's toy" going down.We'll see.

Oddly...today is supposed to get colder and colder as it goes by.So the kiddos are outside living it up while they can. After lunch...then school!Then storm warnings.Sounds like a fun day!

You know...not skipping breakfast, but skipping it like Skipper means eating it.And eating GOOD stuff...not junk.So today the fam is eating organic oatmeal. Cooked over an open flame (gas burner).The kids have used maple syrup and a bit of butter for flavoring. I'm still addicted to sugar so it's brown sugar and butter for me. I'm getting better, but butter is still my friend.

How to Skip it like Skipper.When you are frustrated with something and you say, "oh, just skip it" you mean, "just forget it" or "I'll just do it myself."I want to change the definition of skipping it to something more in line with me...since my name is Skipper after all.I want people to see a problem, say, "oh just skip it!" and mean something good and wonderful. I want someone to help a
