I always get busy and forget to post about the Carnival of the Recipes.

I’m tired

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

I had a lot of kids in my house today.

10:15-1130: 3 kids
11:45-1:50: 4 kids
2:10-3:45: 5 kids

I am tired and I did not get a lot of extra housework done today, but I was able to help out two friends. Tiring, but worth it.

Happy birthday Flash

From one extreme to the other

This morning we took Pinwheels to the airport. The kids thought it was a big adventure, but us grown-ups knew the what it really meant. Three months without daddy.

Friday, May 6th, 2005

I turned my paper in last week and just kind of quit. I just didn’t feel like writing or reading, but here I am again. I hope you missed me. I’m still waiting for my grade (supposed to be done today) but I’m not going to worry. This week is a [...]
