What are snakes for? For eating bugs and pests out of our garden
So mean snakes don’t live in our country? They don’t usually live in this part of the country. Mostly they live in the woods in our state.

Last night, I dreamt that the road to our old town had been turned into elevated train tracks, except that the road workers forgot to put up a sign informing anyone of this fact. So I was stranded on a metal bar high above a cornfield, holding my car in my hand (yeah, it was [...]

Yesterday was a very homeschool-y kinda day. By that I mean, it is the kind of day I would like to have often, especially when I get over this silliness of agreeing to work twice as many hours as I want/ need to budget-wise. Jubilee was determined to sleep in, since she had stayed up [...]

Jubilee: “Is the baby going to come out eventually?”
Long-suffering sigh: “The baby is taking a long, long time to come out, huh?”
(Yes, I know my bathroom mirror is disgusting. Please ignore.)

Yesterday was supposed to be one of those incredible parenting days. We talked for days beforehand about meeting up with grandma and going to the zoo with our new membership card.

Since before Jubilee was born, I knew that I wanted to homeschool my kids.

I think most of this [...]

I ordered several Sonlight curriculum books for Jubilee a few weeks back, and we have really been enjoying them. Or, I should say, we have been reading the Usborne Flip-Flap Body Book non-stop, to the exclusion of all else. Winnie the Pooh is long forgotten. We read through two or three of the other Sonlight [...]
Night shift, again

I worked overnight Friday night, and the unit was packed, as it always is in late winter. This was my first time having four patients since I stopped working in the stepdown nursery at City Hospital. And four patients who are there for respiratory problems is very different than four growing premies who do not [...]

The bad new is, I have to be at work for 36+ hours this week. Three full days of classes, and then one 12-hour night shift on the floor. Yuck. The good news is, from now out through the end of March, I am only scheduled for 2 shifts per week. When the new schedule [...]
