~1~ We are going to see the Percy Jackson movie today. I think that's one of the great things about homeschooling; we can go places and do things during school hours thus cutting down on the crowds. ~2~ It's been cold again. I'm really not enjoying it. Where did the mild Texas winter go? This…

~1~ We took pictures tonight for our parish picture directory. I can't wait to see the directory. I know a lot of people by sight, but I don't know their names. I probably should know their names, but I don't. I mostly want to know the names of the people I see all the time…

~1~ I don't know if I have 7 things to talk about. That's why I've been so silent here. I'm still playing catch up in many areas of my life. ~2~ I'm in the midst of a spending moratorium. Sort of. I can't seem to stop buying books whenever I see a good one for…

~1~ I'm working on tweaking our homeschool. Do you have a name for your homeschool? Ours is Our Lady Queen of Peace Academy. I'm working on making our days more efficient. I will also start being more militant about our mornings. I told the kids they're going to have to be up and down for…

~1~ You'll be relieved to know that the weather has warmed up to its normal temperatures. I am very glad. My skin is not as itchy although there's nothing to be done for my dry, cracked hands. There's a bit of moisture in the air so we're not shocking each other constantly. And,…

~1~ I've taken all the ornaments off our tree, unwound the lights, and dragged the tree, tree stand and all, out the back door. Let me just say there were lots and lots of needles on the carpet and tile. However, the ornaments have not been put away. I'll get to it eventually. ~2~…

~1~ This is our second and final weekend of Nutcracker. There was a dress rehearsal tonight. It was very fun. I think everyone is feeling a bit froggy. At the end, during the finale, Sister and 4 others come out as reindeer pulling the sleigh. They take Clara across the stage. Two other reindeer moms…

~1~ I've been very, very busy lately. That's why there haven't been any posts for a week. Well, let's be honest here. I am not known for being a prolific blogger. I looked at my stats the other day, and I have only a little over 700 posts. That's not a lot. So, what have…

~1~ Apparently, there are some crazy people out there who are close to finished with their Christmas shopping. I'm barely started. I don't even have lists! How about you? ~2~ I've been so focused on ballet and the Nutcracker that I've neglected planning for Advent. I've got a bit of a start with St.…

~1~ The shootings yesterday took place at the SRP or Soldier Readiness Processing Center. This is where soldiers who are deploying go to take care of business in different stations. For instance, there's a legal station to take care of your will. A medical station to make sure your shots and health records are…
