Okay, so maybe she is not really a Nazi…actually she looks and speaks more like a Russian than a German….but I truly believe in a former life she could have been in the Gestapo. She is tall and slender (but appears STRONG) and wears her black hair pulled back in a severe bun. She does [...]

Autism is not a dirty word
As many of you might know I worked with and taught people with special needs for many years. (17 professionally as an educator and for 6 years before that as a volunteer, camp counselor and as a house counselor in group homes.) My goodness, have I been privy to some good stories over the years….some [...]

Interview with a Witch
With Halloween drawing near, a news show did an interview with a witch. I was watching this segment and looking at the lady-witch. Her physical appearance was normal. If I’d have run into her at Wal-mart I wouldn’t have known. She didn’t have on a black hat or a wart on her nose….but she was [...]

KUB and other Annoying Things
KUB stands for Knoxville Utilities Board. Now, I appreciate that KUB exist as they are the ones that allow me to have electricity and running water which I am rather fond of… BUT I do not like what they’ve been doing to the streets in my neighborhood for the past few months. Right now I [...]

Asian Man
I was out with Breanna and Kendrick this afternoon when I started getting the question, “Are we going to stop and get something to eat?” I was kind of hungry myself so I gave in. We went to Arby’s for some roast beef sandwiches.
The man taking our order at the counter looked to be in [...]

Rainy Day Tuesday
Finally, some good rain around here. We need rain! It has been an extremely dry summer and fall. I like gray, rainy days. I guess I’m just weird. (which if you know me, you know that can be the case!) Speaking of weather…how sad about the fires out in California. Now, California is known for [...]

Bam Humbug on the Blog-O-Sphere!
Well, to my faithful blog readers out there, I just wanted to tell you that I got word today from the tech powers-that-be. Some of my former blogs were on the Google Cache and I was able to retrieve them. (as far back as July) The rest of my blogs are gone. The Home School [...]

Forgiveness. It is a difficult word and an even more difficult thing to accomplish. Jesus knew this. He expects me to forgive…even when it is hard. Even when I’ve been the one wronged. Even when what happened is not my fault and the other person is not really deserving of my forgiveness. Sometimes forgiveness hurts. [...]

Honey, did you shrink my shirt?
A funny story for the day…..
My husband and I were getting ready for church this morning when he looked over at me and said, “uh, honey… I think my shirt has shrunk.” (Hmm….it did look a bit small…..) He had it on and couldn’t get the neck of the shirt buttoned…it was tight, and [...]

Friday!
Friday October 19, 2007
It is around 9 am and we just started the school day. I’m not feeling all that great today. Not sick or anything like that, just blah. Maybe a little writing will get me in a better mood:) By the way, the tech support person emailed me late last night. [...]
