A Boring Day
It’s so very boring here today. I may take a nap. Joe (14) and Jacob (12) have gone to work with John. Boone (18) and Andrew (17) are cleaning up the barracks and putting all the furniture back in it’s regular places. The thing that makes this day feel so boring is that we had [...]
How to make pizza without going in the kitchen
We had pizza for supper last night. Delicious, homemade pizza. The best pizza I’ve had in a long, long time. And I didn’t touch it until it was ready to eat. I had another headache yesterday. They come every afternoon, and they’re bad. Incapacitating. Spring allergies. It’s horrible. All that to say, I was not inclined [...]
Barbed wire has pointy parts
I forgot to add that there was a HUGE game of group tag after dark for the teens. I understand that it was a lot of fun, until . . . . . . until we had to take Tex for a tetanus shot.

Texas SeeSaw Weather
Parsley outside my backdoor! El Niño, La Niña, whatever, I forget how it goes, but I think that due to the oppressive heat we had this Summer, we are having a very wet Winter. Or maybe the wet Winter is a harbinger of a mild Summer to come? I don’t know, but we have had [...]
My Dyslexia Tears
I’m crying today. Crying over the Dyslexia that one of my Pirates is struggling with. I have two Dyslexic Pirates, but one is having lots and lots of difficulty, the other is doing great. I know that every child is different, but, how can these two be so different? Or is it that I am [...]
My sides hurt!
Friday evening we had more fun! Tex and Hank took me to a Tim Hawkins concert. Oh my, did we laugh our faces off! Dude is so funny! He started off with a bit about homeschoolers and how it feels to get out of the house! Oh, I laughed! (‘Cuz lately we put the home in [...]
