You can be….well, anything I guess!

It is always a little hectic in our house in the morning, as I am sure it is in any house that has kids that are school aged.  There are the showers and packing of lunches, getting back packs ready, signing permission slips.  This morning, I was sitting at the table looking over some homework, Boy [...]

Can SEE through tall buildings???

Boy #2 has been expressing to us that he cannot see well at school.  He told me that he sits towards the back of the classroom and he was “squinting” to see the board.  After a few days of this, I finally made an appointment at the eye doctor.  Me being one to say, “just [...]

House of Pain

No. Not a Motley Crue lyric.
It is me. I am in pain. I have some problems with my neck/spine and have been seeing a neurosurgeon for almost two years now.  I have been going to physical therapy as well.  These last couple of months have been almost unbearable.  Each day I think that it cannot [...]

Overheard at Casa Teenie

Fall fishing, fall colors…. fall swimming????

I finally am getting a chance to post some of our fall photos from our trip up north.  The fall colors were spectacular, the fishing not so much!  Boy #1 and his cousin Tyler ended up taking 3rd place in the walleye tournament.  They had a great time and the weather cooperated.

And here is my boy, [...]

What I like about you…

Here are my lists of things I love, and other things…mmmmm not so much!
I LOVE:
 Crystal Light Fruit Punch. Cannot get enough of it. I actually crave it, especially if I am eating popcorn!

 Birthday Cake. Yes, it must be “birthday” cake!  [...]

Interesting…

When I was a little girl, I remember asking my Dad what the difference was between a Republican and a Democrat.   I was quite young and trying to help me understand a little bit, my Dad told me “Democrats fight more for the working class, the middle class and families. Republicans fight for big business [...]

Tell me….Are you feeling LUCKY??

I found this excerpt of an article while I randomly surfed, researching the election and trying to grasp some of the facts.  I have said in a previous post that I was unsure as to whom I was voting for but leaning more towards Obama.  One of my concerns, as I have found many others [...]
