I messed up

SmockLady — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:41:00 +0000

I have been going through some of my blog post drafts that I never published. There were a few posts that got published but for some reason ( a glitch I guess) also duplicated as drafts or duplicated as a published post. So now I have a lot of double checking to do and [...]

Planning

SmockLady — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:50:35 +0000

I’m trying to get ahead of it this year instead of be on or behind. Thanksgiving dinner is planned – it’s the usual. I just have to wait until payday to do the grocery shopping. I want to get ahead with the Advent plans this year. I don’t want it to be overwhelming, over the top, [...]

Stewardship, clutter, glorifying

SmockLady — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:59:45 +0000

I am the toy destroyer, breaker of hearts. I do it all the time, but but not the way you think. I am more not so nice. I have six children and for years have only thrown out the broken toys, cycling the not-used-now-toys to the top of the closet or the Rubbermaid boxes [...]

My desktop

My current desktop background is a photo of King Topper the large and in charge cat, weighing in at 19 pounds and shoulder height of 15.5 inches from the floor. Don’t mess with his cardboard castle. He might gitcha! Unless . . . . . . he’s fishing in my aquarium screen-saver.

Moving

SmockLady — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:22:24 +0000

I have spent the entire day moving. I wish it was to a different house, but it’s not. It’s just rearranging of rooms. We live in a three bedroom house: our room, three boys in one room and three girls in the other room. It’s tight. Princerella, I’m ashamed to say, is 8 years old and still [...]

If I had a wand…

SmockLady — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:32:22 +0000

…I’d totally use it to repair this cheap favorite pirate toy. Since I do not have a wand or ability to properly use a wand (against the belief of some) I stick with what does work: duct tape. Quack quack! He loves this pirate cutlass and today it got stepped on and cracked. Tonight his mama [...]

Halloween 2009

SmockLady — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:59:59 +0000

I feel like this is the obligatory Halloween post. I should have done this late Saturday night or on Sunday (the day after Halloween). There are so many Halloween mommy blog posts out there that I don’t want to add to them. This is my blog. Someday soon I’m going to clean it up and [...]

Every now and then

SmockLady — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:46:59 +0000

The Place of Numb I find sometimes I need to go, yet would rather stay; I find sometimes I want to be with people, but alone; I find sometimes a desire to go, to get away, weighted with no want of leave from my comfort zone; I find sometimes deep within a river runs from Great [...]
