So....a few things to remember when doing home improvements. 1- Electricity hurts. I managed to run 14 gauge wire from the circuit breaker to a junction box, through the old roof to the new addition, to another juntion box, and wire 9 outlets and 6 light switches without zapping myself. However, after I finished, I was taping over an outlet so I could do some touch up painting I accidentally completed a circuit with my finger.....OUCH!!!! 2- What goes up just might have to come down...

I decided that my kids needed something new to watch on tv.....I can only watch "Cars" so many times before I go crazy. I borrowed Dralion-Cirque Du Soleil's 200 performance. They thought the girl doing a one handed handstand while contorting was pretty cool. They also loved the girls on the teeterboard and the juggler. You would think this is just fun, wholesome family fun, right? WRONG! Only few moments after I wandered into the kitchen to start dinner my daughter called me...."M...

Yes, it is time for another edition of Four Year old Philosophy....Today we will be discussing God and cereal and the meaning of life. Scene, in a car driving home from church. Boy: Hey mom! I have faith! Mom: Really? Do you know what faith is? Boy: Ummmm. I forget. Mom: Faith is believing something is true even if you can't see it. *thinking she needs to explain more.....* "Can you see God?" "No." "Can you call him on the phone?" "Well.....I don't know his phone numbe...

You may recall from past articles that I am adding a room to my house. Well the day when I am done is closer. I finished another milestone.....the walls are up, taped, mudded and textured. i'd rather not have texture, but since I have no intention of removing the texture in the rest of the house.....texture it is. And here to serve as a warning to ya'll.... WARNING!!!! If you ever do remodeling of your own and decide to texture the walls....(spray not roll) BELIEVE them when it says ...

Since I have a moment before boy comes home from school and after girl has decided to stop stripping and simply put on more clothing, I will attempt to get a start on my JU Homework Let's list what I could talk about. My kids waking me up at 0430 to feed them Girl deciding that the best way to ride a rocking horse is naked. (pictures too!) The disaster that is my house. The insanity that my disaster-filled home is causing me. The lack of sleep The guilt over JU follies 30 things b...

Happy Birthday Big Fat Daddy! Enjoy your day! Link

Today, as I was working on my homework (yes another thinly veiled reference to the fact I got off my butt and started CTC), I noticed Maddy was leaning on the couch while she was watching tv. She looked like she could barely stand up so I asked her, "do you want to sit my me?" no response. When I stood up and walked around so I could see her face, I realized she was sound asleep. i don't know how she can sleep that way....although I was known for being able to sleep pretty much ...

After a disappointing situation with Joeuser, I have decided to not give up entirely. I am saddened by my own mistakes and the unexpected recaction of others. With any insight into human nature, I should have expected typical stupidity and etc etc. but I was naively unaware of the unfortunate circumstances. If you have any idea what I'm talking about....then this apology was for you. I'm sorry I hurt you. So the reason I am back here is to shout out to the world....I am BACK IN SCHO...

"Mom?" "yes?" "Did you know that Santa believes in himself?" *try not to smile too much* "Why yes, I did know that." "Who brings Santa what he wants for Christmas?" "Mrs. Santa?" "Oh. Okay.""

One of my non-goals this year is to once again lose the 15 lbs that stands between me and well, a healthier trimmer person. I'd like to have my body fat lower and my strength up. I'd love to get rid of the last of baby chub (just in case I decide to do this baby thing again, I can start with a clean slate) and I'd love to have a flat tummy and nipped in waistline....it makes shopping for jeans so much better. Right now, according to the measurements on several online stores, my...
