Hi.

Posted on March 19, 2009 by Carrie

I’m having real trouble being awake today, for some reason. I had to run by the store before MOPS (needed DVD-R disk for Sam’s school project), and I let myself buy a Diet Coke, which kept me animated through the … Continue reading →

Wednesdays are complicated

Posted on March 18, 2009 by Carrie

Wednesdays were busy to begin with, what with Bible Blast and choir practice, but now Sam has Science Club meeting every Wednesday after school until the end of April. That gives us an hour between picking him up from there … Continue reading →

Gabe, this time

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Carrie

Sigh. My second son is bright, quick-witted, charming most of the time (with people outside the family), eager to participate…and a complete double-handful of head-desk. He is enough to wear out anyone in short order, and anybody who’s had the … Continue reading →

After all that venting

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Carrie

Posted on March 12, 2009 by Carrie

A marathon is 26.2 miles.

Posted on March 11, 2009 by Carrie

Period. End of story. Asking, “How long is that marathon?” is sort of like saying, “How many miles are in that mile?” If you don’t run or know people who do, you might not know that and it’s certainly excusable; … Continue reading →
