I am insane. Really. On the outside, I appear to be somewhat normal, but truly, I think I should be committed. . . .or at the very least. ..medicated. Here’s why ( Read more... )

Jo’s Monday morning warm-up:

Write a paragraph that gives a good description of a grandparent (doesn't necessarily have to be yours), but instead of simply describing his or her hands, or the wrinkles on a forehead, depict the person in some other way, maybe through dialogue, action, or a repeated facial expression. No old people clichés allowed. ( Read more... )

Every October, Litchfield’s 6th graders attend NATURE’S CLASSROOM. It’s a 3-night, 4-day field trip. Kind of like an environmental camp, so to speak. It is a much looked forward to event for the kids. A big deal. Going away with their whole class for the better part of a week. They love it. Now, the sixth grade team is made up of all female ( Read more... )

Darlene and I have a friend, Karol, who hosts THE best theme parties. Her latest venture was a "wine-tasting" event. Each couple was assigned a country from which they had to bring a bottle of wine and an appetizer or dessert. And then we voted on the best-tasting wine. I was assigned Italy (go figure), so off I went with an Italian merlot and ( Read more... )

I went on to say that that was OK, though, because I much preferred the roller coaster to the ferris wheel. But, I think now I want to stand ( Read more... )

I had some time to myself this morning and thought I would catch up on my “friend’s” blogs. Of course, dependable Cindy had a fun little game posted. And you know me. . .can’t resist a fun little game. So, I did as she directed. Pulled up Google and typed in “Kathleen needs” and I KID YOU NOT. . .the first one was. . . well, check it out for ( Read more... )

Wow. It’s been almost a month since I have blogged. But. . .I’m baaack. Without going into long boring detail, it suffices to say that I have had better months than this last one. But things are looking up. And here I am ( Read more... )

jbknowles ‘s Monday Morning Warm-Up:

Describe the first time you held hands with someone. Where were you? How old were you? What did the person look like? Did you (or the other person) ask, or just grab hold? How long did it take for your hands to get sweaty? Did you want to let go? What were you thinking when your fingers first touched? If you don't want ( Read more... )

Going through the motions has definitely gotten me ready to part with the kids next week. Up until this week, I was kind of dreading the departure of summer and the start of school. It’s been a good summer having them around. I love the carefree days this last month has delivered. But this week, we’ve gone shopping for clothes (one more trip ( Read more... )
