Musings From McDaddy’s Wife

September 22, 2009

I thought about skipping the What I Learned This Week bloggy carnival because I thought y’all might be getting tired of me sharing my wealth of knowledge. But then I remembered that Dancing With The Stars was coming on tonight and so I decided that yes, yes indeed, I would again be wowing you with all [...]

Welcome To My Porch

September 21, 2009

Today is a great day! It is the first day of fall and for some reason, it is my favorite time of year. Besides Christmas, of course. I love the cool, crisp air, the pumpkins, the scarecrows, and all the orange/red/brown stuff. Just walking down the fall aisle at the Mart of Walls makes me [...]

A Little Klutz Goes A Long Way

September 20, 2009

It wasn’t me who tripped on the sidewalk last Sunday as we were leaving Alex’s pre-school open house resulting in a shattered knee. I know. I know. We’ve already established that my kneecap wasn’t really shattered. It was just seriously, painfully tore up. And since thatwasn’t me, it could not have been me who has [...]

Thursday Thirteen — Random Songs On My iPod

September 16, 2009

Welcome to another edition of Thursday Thirteen. This week, I thought it might be fun to share some of the songs on my beloved iPod. (I just realized I use the word beloved a LOT here on the blog. I’ll try to watch that in the future.) If you have the time to waste, you [...]

Let’s Focus!

September 16, 2009

This week’s You Capture is macro – Get up close to the object. I had fun this week and actually took time out of my busy fourteen-meetings-in-one-week schedule to take some pictures that were macro. The hardest part of this week’s assignment is actually figuring out the proper way to use macro in a sentence. This [...]

Picture This!

September 15, 2009

Dear Alex Ryan: Today was your first day of pre-school. You couldn’t wait to wear your ‘new school shoes’ and be a ‘big school boy’. It is so hard to imagine that you are old enough to go to pre-school. It makes me a bit sad to know that you are growing up and becoming independent. I [...]

This Week’s Lessons

September 14, 2009

It’s been one heck of a week. Between school consolidation meetings, McDaddy going back to work after successfully reconstituting after the stupid deployment, pre-school starting, fresh grounded faith and an endless list of DVRed material that needed tending to, I am pooped. Did I mention that pre-school starts today? For my almost-four-year-old? It’s almost more [...]

Jaw Dropping News

September 14, 2009

It wasn’t me who read the following status update on the Facebook last week and subsequently dropped her jaw. “what is the story on closing B. Elementary next year, just heard. Don’t see how all the kids will fit at F. Elementary and don’t want my 5th grader being moved to the middle school…. let me know what you’ve heard!” [...]
