Two Tasks

How hard can it be, I ask? I had two things to do before I put the boys down for a nap. I gathered my keys and the trash and out the door I went, hurrying so that Boo wouldn't be climbing on the baker's rack before I came back inside. Or maybe calling China on my cell phone. Run outside, do the jobs, come back in. Quick.

I put the dirty diaper in the mailbox.

Well, Emily, that would require that I go back inside and get the camera and further embarrass myself in front of our NEIGHBORHOOD mailbox, all the while with the Water Department guys sitting in the truck across the street. Believe me, it was embarrassing enough to have to go back and unlock the mail door and dispose of the little bundle in the proper receptacle.

Hee hee! "Mommy brain" strikes anytime, anywhere! :)
I am sure your mail carrier is just glad you realized your mistake before he or she discovered it!
Oh, and we are not Star Wars snobs. :) We love Star Trek, too. There is a clipping of Zachary Q. from the new movie coming out presently residing on my fridge. I have to look at Spock daily. My husband is super excited! :) Me personally, I'm a Generations and Voyager girl. :) Oh, my. Did I just type all of that on your comment page? So sorry. :)
Have a great day!

Love it! Can't say I have done that yet, but I have found the phone in the fridge! :-)
As far as homeschooling - I am only doing it this semester and it's only kindergarten so it's about an hour a day. I just couldn't bear to put my 5 year old in 3 different kindergartens. I sent her to public school til Christmas break in NJ but after we moved to SC (and knowing we would be headed to NY in March), I opted to finish the year at home.

4-H Modeling and the Wardrobe Malfunction

Sincerely 'fro me to you and Vintage Thingies Thursday ! Kristen over at We are THAT family has a blogging carnival going on Thursdays, and she asked for bloggers to share a story from our past, something that won't probably make it into a scrapbook because we can't find our crinkle-cut scizzors or some mouse peed on the pictures or whatever reason. Apron Queen also has a carnival goin on called Vintage Thingies Thursday, I thought since I am so good at multi-tasking, I'd roll two posts into one and call this story both; an embarrassing story from my past as well as vintage. Now if you think that those bangs aren't vintage, and that, "Oh My! Would you look at that zipper!" I don't know what is! So, this is my story... Fall 1978, it was the beginning of my modeling “career.” It all began at the Western Idaho Fair, on the exhibitor’s building main stage, or rather behind the main stage. There I was waiting for an absolutely dreamy Junior Future Farmers...

Heavenly Dessert

I am dieting, so instead of my usual chocolate dessert fare, I’ve been trying to eat healthy choices. Tonight we had angel food cake with a blueberry sauce over the top. Most of the children devoured it without batting an eye. When I served Ace, my five year old son, he asked me what it was. I replied, “Angel food cake.” He inquired, “Did Angels make it?” “No," I laughed, "Angels didn’t make it, it came from the store.” This time he inquired a little more cautiously, “Is it made from Angels?”

Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread

  Whole Wheat Bread-THM Style 2 loaves I have been in the kitchen since I was able to stand on a chair next to my mother. She was my 4-H leader from age 9, and I learned all of my kitchen skills from her.   She was an excellent baker, canning aficionado and superb chef.   Both of my parents felt, as I do, that homemade is best—homegrown even better. We raised chickens, turkeys, beef cattle, rabbits and a large garden of produce to feed my brothers and sisters.   We all had certain tasks during one of our “putting up” sessions.   Mother was always telling me to be refined, and stop acting like the boys. LOL I had four brothers and two sisters, I think the masculine influence always outnumbered the feminine. We were a large family and we would buy large quantities of whole grains to turn into flour with the grain mill in the basement.   It stood on three legs with a heavy bag underneath to catch the ...
