It got so cold tonight that we headed out in the car, cranked up the heat and blissed in the heavenly warmth issuing from the mighty diesel engine. It was actually quite stinky but I was happy to trade stinky for warm. I don’t know what has happened to our heat. We had it . . . → Read More: living la vida banana We’re so incredibly black humoured. Jamie and I have been sitting on our collective hands (not literally – that would just be weird) doing nothing about his ass thing and about my head thing. So today I took him to the doctor.

I must have either picked up something at the 4th of July bash or some weird viruses attacked me because I have been 1/2 dead since Jesse’s birthday. I had the headache of death, very Typhoid-like, incredible weakness (couldn’t even hold my head up), constant fever/chills/fever/chills/sweat buckets/chills (you get the . . . → Read More: (runs skipping through meadows of wildflowers) The title of the post not only refers to the conference we attended in Alburquerque, but our lives as well (which, I assume, is the point). We learned so much at the conference, but not what you’d think. The boys had a wonderful time, the girls also. Ellen made friends and the boys . . . → Read More: Live and Learn Deb, if you’re still reading, I lost your email addy with the computer Ellen fried; if you guys aren’t going to the California Homeschool conference, would you be interested in meeting up with us here?
