Things I learned this week…

When inspired, Americans can be called to action.
No matter who is elected to run the US, God is still in control. (I already knew this, but I had to remind myself.)
I can communicate with a Swedish doughnut-maker.
Christian does not equal Republican.
My snuggly kitten is the reason it is so hard to get out of bed [...]

FREE is for ME

Frugal Mom Blog
Who doesn’t like free stuff?  Every day this week, there is a contest to win free stuff…and all you have to do is visit the websites listed & say what you like.  And who can’t use another excuse to do some online window shopping?
Check it out…and if you win, I’ll be so thrilled [...]

Charitable Donations of the Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates

Anyone have a soapbox for me to borrow? One thing I abhor about politics is the spinning – there is always an angle and you can’t trust any sources.  I don’t trust Fox News any more than I trust CNN to give the FACTS.  But one thing that I’ve learned to trust in this world [...]

I love my camera phone

My phone is just about full – so it is time to clear out some pictures.  Here are some of the favorite moments that have been captured on the little Blackberry Pearl.  If you click on each picture, you can get the little background story (if there is one…)

Yes, yes…I know…

I’m a bad blogger.  You saw that school started though, right?  So I get a little sympathy for trying to be the number one juggler, right?
One of the printers in our office (the color one) used to be in the business center.  So, there are random people in the place of business who can print [...]

Back to school time

There are mixed emotions this year.  I love getting back into a routine and getting the kids into bed at a decent (ie earlier than me) bedtime. School starts on Monday and we had orientation today. 
First stop was the elementary school, where we know the routine.  Go to the cafeteria, get the clinic, PTA, and transportation [...]

Total Connectivity

WOW.  I’m amazed at technology…and my access to it. I’m currently on I-75 south from Atlanta to Tampa.  We’re about 12 miles outside of Valdosta, our half-way marker.  And I’m on my laptop. Connected to the internet.
I had thought I was high-tech when I could download Facebook to my phone.  I could update my status [...]

Pulled Mouscle

And no, I didn’t spell muscle wrong.  Mouse+Muscle=Mouscle.  You know which one I’m talking about now?
I thought that the sore muscle in my back (Right inside my right shoulder blade) was a result of sleeping funny last night.  And then I sat down at the computer with my cup of coffee and reached for the mouse. [...]

Camp Rock

High School Musical meets the Jonas Brothers and Julie Brown.  Throw in another couple of talented teens who can sing and try to dance, and you’ve got this summer’s hottest movie.  At least it is in our house.
I actually don’t mind the movie and the music isn’t all that terrible.  My issue is with the amount of [...]

Cute Overload x100

The day before Lew’s birthday, we were driving through the Wal Mart parking lot. Lewis asks, “Did that sign say Free Kittens?”  You mean that sign way back there that the rest of us all missed?  The sign that nobody but Lewis actually saw?  Right. That sign.  Why yes, yes it did say ‘Free Kittens.’ 
We [...]
