Read MoreThe Eensy Weensy Spider
The not so eensy weensy spider came down from the ceiling and remained suspended at eye level, making me scramble from the chair. I quickly located our vacuum cleaner and brought it downstairs to suck up the waiting spider. While doing so, I remained oblivious to the fact that it was very early in the…
Read MoreU.S. Census: Partially Wrong Address
I filled in the U.S. Census Bureau Information and was going to mail it tomorrow, but thankfully we received a reminder card in the mail today. My eldest daughter looked at the card and said, “This is addressed incorrectly. It has the wrong city.” I never even noticed. The house address is correct, the state is…
Read MoreThank You Sacred Heart Books and Gifts
Thank you to to Sacred Heart Books and Gifts and the person (or people) who have been clicking on the link in my sidebar to purchase books, gifts, videos, and/or homeschool curriculum from them.

Read MoreStress Free Driving
Today, I used the GPS for the first time and it actually works. Not only does it work, but it made for a very relaxing drive for me and my children. It was well worth the $90 (thanks to an instant rebate) that my husband spent at Costco to buy it.
Read MoreAdding Years to my Life
Yesterday, my husband gave me an early St. Valentine’s gift, a gift that will add years to my life, a gift that fellow parishioners made us aware of when they loaned us theirs a few weeks ago. What is this marvelous gift? It is something which will most likely make me confess fewer sins in…
