Feeling so good about the kids' test scores from our first year homeschooling! Much improvement in math!! The hard work is paying off.

Lost a baby squirrel and for some reason I feel horrible like I lost my precious cat boyboy. It was found us and was only with us a few days but for some reason it hurts bad.

Don't do what I did and write your child's height down on the graduation gown order form as a foot shorter than it really is.

Woke to snow flurries. On March 28. In the mid-Atlantic!

I got a job! So very exciting. 24 hours a week at a local coffee shop. Even better, Dh agreed to allow outside classes for Ds. Piano, Omnibus, and Lukeion will start in a year. There are no words for how thankful I am.

Against my better judgement, I stress-ate Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips while finishing taxes today. Oh well!

4 yo and 7 yo put on a drum concert for us today. It cost us $1 to "get in". Half way through the concert 4 yo yells "stop stop! How much will it cost for them to get back out?"

The bad news is, the storm hitting Kentucky is stopping us from going all the way home from Michigan today as planned. The good news is, the hotel I just reserved in Ohio has an indoor pool. Plus, I would say there's a 90% chance that DS9's school will be cancelled tomorrow.

A day with new Playmobil is a good day!

We got a real piano today and Dd is ecstatic!

Ds19 is bringing his gf home tonight for the first time. Ds12 just walked into the livingroom and said, "The guest bathroom hasn't been this clean since the war!"

Guacamole makes an excellent breakfast.

Mr. Robert Chang just offered to split $8,700,000 with me 60/40 if only I would send him my bank account info...

We lost my mom November 3rd, Dad followed January 1st. Bbl.

Vent: Apparently it's unreasonable to expect a person to acknowledge receiving a Christmas gift, let alone say thanks.

Finished my BA degree today!

Won $50 at my company Christmas party's employee drawing. Woo!

“Atticus–†said Jem bleakly. He turned in the doorway. “What, son?†“How could they do it, how could they?†“I don’t know, but they did it. They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it — seems that only children weep.†— To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

DD landed a gorgeous double toe-loop in her competition today!

A dear friend just passed away suddenly. Today, is a sad, sad day.

My son got into a college! I guess this homeschooling thing works after all...

I won my first 5K today!

It is hard to concentrate with a creepy a$$ cat watching your every move.

KSDK Show Me St. Louis today (Thursday) 10am and 10:30am - live with dd

Dd is meowing What Wondrous Love Is This.
