Instead

I’m supposed to be writing a post for Segullah right now. I have two pieces that I’ve been working on and neither of them looks very promising. They are just not turning out. The writing muse can be rather fickle, I’m afraid. So instead of banging my head against the… Read More

Flour makes my world go round

Sorry I haven’t been blogging much; I’ve been being productive. I’ve had such a stagnant summer, that it feels good to get up early and have something to show for my day besides quarrelsome children and a messy playroom. I went on a big sock round-up yesterday and spent hours… Read More

The day is spent and so am I

Just a little note to tell you that I am officially worn out. This is the last week before school starts and I am running on fumes. Thus, I probably won’t be blogging much. I probably will once school is up and running and I have my life purring along.… Read More

Galveston

We’re back from Galveston. Did you know that it’s actually an island? I didn’t until I went there this week. My friend Cheryl invited us to come and hang out with her and her kids (our husbands both had to work. They’re lame that way) to “escape the heat”.… Read More
