November 27th, 2006 Sometimes it’s nice to have a blog simply because you can edit your life. For example, I was not planning to mention the fact that Raphaeltook a Thanksgiving evening trip down the stairs and ended up in the ERto stitch in his lower lip. I was not planning to mention the fact thatthe very next day he tripped over absolutely nothing and crashed histoddler skull into a wooden beam in November 26th, 2006 to tell you all that we had our Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room. Yes that dining room.Dan put the final coat of finish on just in time. Not bad, eh? For allyou wood geeks out there, my husband tells me that this is variablewidth, face-nailed, wide pine flooring sealed with a tung oil finish.All I know is that I like it. And since I love the beams, I’ll sharethose November 25th, 2006 To my sweet girl who is always ready to hold the baby, always ready to pitch in with a vacuum, duster, and broom, always ready to forgive and forget always ready to practice hair-dos, play dolls, and share a cup of tea and always ready with a smile (even when Thanksgiving postpones your birthday party). You are a bright spot of sunshine in our days. God bless you on your November 23rd, 2006 Girl Cousins Boy Cousins A watch for a birthday girl Room to play An aunt who does hair And dishwashers November 22nd, 2006 First of all, I apologize for my lack of response to many emails thisweek. I am not trying to be rude, but some weeks are just like that…Please forgive a busy mother. Carnival of Homeschooling This week’s Carnival of Homeschooling is here. Nurse-in Here’s a story of the reaction to a woman being asked to leave a Delta flight because she was nursing.Maybe I’m weird, but though I fully support November 21st, 2006 My sister is coming! And she’s bringing her charming husband as well asmy adorable nephew and niece. Since I’ll be busy preparing for theirvisit and baking today, I thought I’d share our menu: For dinner: Roasted turkey with sage stuffing(I still haven’t decided– in the bird or not), mashed potatoes,cranberry sauce (homemade whole berry sauce for me, canned jelly stufffor everyone else), squash, peas, and corn. In the bread basket: November 20th, 2006 A reader asks: Do you have any advice for curbing one’s temper? I’m a stay athome mom of an almost 2 year-old very good little boy. I sometimes feellike “NO!” and “STOP!” are all I say. My husband is terrificallysupportive and understanding, but works pretty long hours. Some days Ifeel like I’ve morphed into the Wicked Witch by bedtime. How do Idevelop the virtue of meekness, when, as a Mom, November 19th, 2006 I think there must be some misunderstanding. You see, when I pray andask you for things like patience or a more generous heart, what Ireally mean is that I want you to just give me those things. You know, like magic. Instant virtue! I’m not really looking to learn patience and generosity— and especially not the hard way. So when I am accomplishing something like early baking forThanksgiving, please do |
