Have you heard my WalMart rant? Because I’d like to share it with you. Personally, I hate WalMart. If I could help it, I’d never go in there. And yet, somehow, I’m in that mess of a grocery store at least once a w…
So we went to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith this afternoon, a nice break from the kiddies. A fun movie, over all. Quite explicit at times, but full of laughs. Random word of the day: credenza. What in the world is a cred…
This may become a tradition. What better way to remember Talent Night each week than to review it? (Of course, there are some things better left un-remembered....) This week during Junior Boys Talent Night, drum solos…
Just a couple of odd thoughts: * The Anatomy of a Sunburn (the journey from pain to peeling) * Puppet Vomit (much more colorful and appealing than Junior Boy vomit, just ask Marie) * Just how much Play-Doh…
Let me just say: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Air conditioning is the best. Followed closely by playing in the wading pool with small people who like to pour water down your legs. Junior Boys. 30 littl…
So, last night was Talent Night. If you were doing anything other than sitting in the front row of Junior Girls Camp Talent Night, you were in the wrong place. Here’s what you missed: · Scripture Memory—Favorit…
I am living in a veritable black hole. Missing so far today: * Cool air (from the air conditioner) * Jesalynn’s hat * Tyson’s hat (May or may not be in “Miss Marie’s…
I have a post to write. It's all about Christmas, which, as many of you know, is quite the topic for ranting for me. However. I have no time to post. We're running a Camp here, Hurrican Hugo (or whatever) seems to …
I am afraid of my cell phone. I wouldn’t normally admit this, but I know at few people (Jess, Deb, Tim’s grandpa--just to name a few) who can sympathize (or empathize?) with me. First of all, there’s that darn tex…
Snippets (of conversations, mostly) Ross: Courtney, are you huffing Jesalynn’s feet? ************** Me: Just lick it and stick it. ************** Myrtle: I did not just drop your daughter into …
Headlines for Today: · “Pet Spider Kills Its Owner”—wish I had a link to that article…. · “Scotland to Italy With No Toilet Stops” (Incidentally, did you know you have to pay to use the public restroom…
Two insights about my children today: First, Jesalynn used to suck her thumb. She sucked her left thumb until January, when she burned that hand and it was wrapped for so long. She never did suck her other thumb, a…
Camp is coming! Camp is coming! Camp is coming! (The lions and tigers and bears are staying home.) Training Camp this week…lots of fun. Disembodiment seems to be popular: Myrkle has 3 hands now. He an…
The Amazing (But not Awesome) Disembodied Head See, I’ve barely started this post and already you’re interested, because: a.) I don’t normally post about grisly things b.) You want to know why the head is amazing—bu…
We're Baaaaa-aaaaack! And so is my computer. It seems that my computer, whom I have always assumed to be a "he" is in actuality a "she." A "she" who is going through menopause. I know this because the diagnosis is "h…
