  1. So bummed. My grandma passed away this morning (long battle with dimensia, so a blessing in a way, but I'm still sad). To make matters worse, the funeral will be on the day of the Renaissance Festival. Kids have been working on their costumes for weeks. :(

  2. Overheard while my 7yodd was working on her math: "Twelve . . . twelve . . oh man, I'm going to have to use my toes!"

  3. This forum triggers my curiosity on the strangest subjects.

  4. If you ever need me but can't remember my name just start a thread titled "Chocolate" and I will find you.

  5. Pro-tip: having a tooth extraction and a new roof put on the house the same day isn't the best combination.

  6. Early dismissal today. Dad's building a grain bin and combining soybeans. Algebra? Ain't nobody got time for that.

  7. Back home to no water, paypal not working & schooling starting tomorrow. Holiday is definitely over :(

  14. I feel like a 10,000 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The first person I've let have the tiniest sneak peek of my book loved it. I believe having chills reading one of the entries was mentioned as well. Just the motivation I needed to finishing typing it all up and send to the publisher this weekend. This project has been brutal on me emotionally and spiritually. There's nothing like leaving your heart and soul on pages for everyone to dissect. It's like my own perso...
