I'm a laundry washing, girl scouting, blog writing, Episcopal Church going, homeschooling mama of three. Can you put that on a Curriculum Vitae?
Interests: Sometimes, I admit, I eat chocolate and read a good book. It doesn't happen enough to call it a HOBBY, mind you. It's a good day when it happens, though.

The Obligatory "We're Not in Kansas Anymore" Post
When we left Wakeeney, Kansas is was 48 degrees. Heavens to Besty! (Not sure what that actually means, but I think it works.) As we climbed in altitude, the mist burned off and the temperature went up. (Tiger and Butterfly are looking forward to mountains!) Finally! Colorado! Mountains!  ...
I'll pass that through committee.

Random Wyoming
(All photos taken with Butterfly's digital from the van on I-25.) Wyoming defies description, so I won't attempt to describe it. The photos will speak for themselves. I will, however, tell you three things I know. 1. I really want to come back some day. 2. You could drive for hours in Wyoming an...
Dad is ALWAYS the culprit. No ice, except that which is currently reducing swelling!

"Explosive Laden Vehicles Exit Right"
Today was Air Force Academy day. Anyone who knows the military knows about the interesting signs that decorate military facilities. "Explosive Laden Vehicles..." Those cadets know how to party. Salamander spent the day with a "Firstie," or a senior cadet. He attended class with him, toured the ...
Why, yes, Ramon! I would love a house. Are you giving one away? (I'll take the cash in lieu of, if you insist.) :/ Stoopid spam.

Belly of the Whale
Have you ever seen the Veggie Tales movie, Jonah? I have. I've seen it a great many times. I really enjoyed it the first fifteen times I saw it. (I'm afraid it's appeal is floundering. Ha! But I digress.) There is a song played during the credits that is by one of my favorite groups, the Newsb...
Hi, Amelia! Sorry you caught me on a break. Life, y'know! The more the merrier. Thanks for stopping in!

Run For the Roses
Butterfly used to live in a world of horses. They were on her walls. They were on her blankets. She had burlap curtains for heaven's sake. She was a horse loving girl. She still loves horses, but her taste in decor has gradually changed. Slowly but surely, Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have r...
He absolutely loved every minute of it!

Penitent Me
(I cropped the photo in order to hide the Aladdin costumes that are STILL at my house. Don't ask.) Time has lost all meaning so I'll just tell you that Sal got to go to Philmont. Wow, right? He left the week before dress rehearsal week for the play of which I was stage managing/ costume sewin...
Thanks, Ann. He's a sweet kiddo.

The Garden
"Mama! Look! It's our first cucumber! Do you wanna look at the garden?" How could anyone say no to Tiger? This garden is Tiger and The C.F.O.'s project. I think they are doing a good job. Here is Tiger's tour of our garden. Can't wait to eat that one!!! (Sorry. Back to the tour!) ...

Mean Girl
Butterfly has encountered one. I hate it. In general her theater pals are wonderful. But this one... I really think this one just needs attention, but it is hard when your little darling is the target of her attention seeking behavior. So, how do I guide Butterfly? We've tried the *ignore it* th...

Dear Tooth Fairy
I have a tooth for you. Cash only, please!!! (No I.O.U.s) I would prefer large bills, but will settle for a couple of quarters. (Lay off the pocket lint, though, would ya?) Sincerely, Snagglepuss
Thanks! I think it is an improvement. The other one had seen better days.

Isn't it nice? I am hoping that hanging it is a good idea. I have a wall that doesn't get direct light, so fingers crossed!

The Quilt
My Grandmother, she of centenarian fame, gave me my Great-Grandmother's quilt. That would be her mother-in-law's quilt. It came in a plastic tote looking a little worse for wear, BUT... it sure did clean up nicely! There are still a few small brown spots, but a little elbow grease and a whol...

Awesome. I took the quiz. There is a 96% chance that Scratchy is plotting to kill me.

One of my theater kids gave me a Valentine's Box. Just realized it was still in my bag. TURTLES! That kid is my new favorite! <BREAK> Tiger and Butterfly were playing, "Let's compare broken bones," and were trying to decide which was worse...the time The CFO took Butterfly sliding with him and ...

They are alive!!!! They have bathed. They are dressed. Their dirty clothes are washing. Not sure about the tooth brushing thing. We're on the honor system here. They have completed their schoolwork. Dirt Dude and Tiger are playing with the Wii. PB&J and Butterfly are straightening their hair. A...
She is a rescue dog so lineage is questionable (all-American?). However, she is lab-ish.(See photo http://lifeontheplanet.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/11/why-we-didnt-meet-the-pioneer-woman-a-dog-story.html)

Boy and Dog Learn Lesson
Dog Sunday has been keeping us busy. She has gotten over most of her separation anxiety. She has learned many new tricks; she can sit, down, beg and jump on command. She is cute and fluffy - in other words, she is awesome. However, she does like to eat things she shouldn't. We try to keep things...

Episcopal Homeschooler: Oxymoron? I Think Not!
There's a dastardly virus floating around my house. I caught it Saturday night, The Butterfly caught it on Sunday. The resulting sleep deprivation has made me a little loopy and, I'm afraid, is leading me into philosophical waters in which I usually do not tread. Dana, at Principled Discovery, p...
Thanks, guys. Those eyes get you, don't they?

Why We Didn't Meet the Pioneer Woman (A Dog Story)
The Pioneer Woman was supposed to be in Little Rock, Arkansas tonight. She probably was. I didn't torture myself with checking. I had planned to take Butterfly to her book signing tonight while the boys were scouting. A Girl's Night Out. A Road Trip. The Great Escape! But then Sunday happened. D...
I am looking forward to it being over. I'd like to eat again!

*Mulan rehearsals. Mulan, Mulan, Mulan. It's what were doing. *Mulan costumes. (See above.) *My root canal is scheduled for Wednesday. I can hardly wait. *The cat has food. *The front toilet is broken. *The rabbit hutch has been winterized. That's it, folks. I'm out of time. Have a good one.
Butterfly has taken to using "Alternate British Spellings" of some words. (Colour, Honour, etc.)
I blame Aussie Kim! :)

Can Not
You may have noticed, I write can not as two separate words, not as the more common cannot. There is a reason. When I was a Junior in high school, I wrote a paper in English. I spelled can not as two separate words. It was marked as incorrect. I informed my teacher, Mrs. Anderson, of her error...

It's 8:00 a.m., and I am the only one up. How did this happen?!? The children must be very tired. They must need the sleep. Children today don't sleep nearly enough. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it for at least fifteen more minutes.

Tiger and I were leaving for his evening activity. I opened the door, and stuck in the screen was an advertisement for a local handyman. Apparently, Tiger had caught a glimpse of the handyman earlier, because when I told him what the flyer was about he sighed with relief. "I thought it was a Nin...
