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...

Overcoming Fears

Are you fearful? Are you overwhelmed by some circumstance in your life over which you have no control? Is it finances, health, fear that you will lose loved ones? I have had my share of fears. I’m sure we all have something about which we are afraid. The Bible has much to say about fear, but before I share those verses, I’m going to share my story of fear. Bear was the funds clerk Chaplain Assistant at our new assignment in the Army but before serving there for very long he got notification that another unit was in need of a Chaplain’s assistant, and by the way, they were deploying soon. Though Bear didn’t want to deploy, he knew that he could help these soldiers and wanted the opportunity to serve with them. This was at the end of 2002 and things were just beginning to happen in Iraq and we didn’t know when they would deploy, the dates kept getting changed, we had two months, then we had 6 weeks, then we had 5 weeks, then it would be back to 2 months again. The packing list kept chang...

Financial mistakes we would not have made if I had listened to my husband.

We had just returned from Christmas Eve service, and prepared for our traditional Christmas Eve gifts, usually new jammies. We open one gift each and get dressed and ready for bed. My mother started this tradition with my siblings and me, probably so that we would look good in our Christmas morning pictures. It is a tradition that I have tried to follow as well. Being the scrapbooking and history-preserving mommy I am, I got out the camera and started snapping pictures, one of Gadget Boy, oh, he’s so cute snuggling with his little baby sissies; one of Chels and Miss Busy in their matching sleepers. (Only three kiddos at this time in our lives.) Snap-whir, snap-whir, snap then click. No snap-whir? No more film, “Oh, no! That can’t be the end. There has got to be more film in the buffet drawer!” None, zilch, nada, not a single roll of unused film. What to do, what to do! Panic! Now, we have to back up a bit in the story. For about a year, I had been trying to start an online eBay busine...
