| Every year our family gets a pass to the local public swimming pool. With the size of our family we can go 3 times and pay for our pass based on what the daily rate would be. We have long surpassed the break even point. Anyhow, each year there is a group of "pool moms" that go practically every day with some or all of our kids and have been doing so for the past 6 or 7 years. Today I was looking at the daughter of a friend of mine and saw just how quickly our children can change especially in the 12 to 13 year old range. All of a sudden she looked so grown up. It made me realize just how much I should pay attention and really watch my children. My youngest will be all "grown up" in not too many years while my oldest will be off to college in just another year. Very sobering thought . | | |
| As The Chickadee Feeder so adeptly pointed out - I don't post often. I guess I just don't think there is much to post about given the life of a mother of 5, but then again after reading TobyBo, I suppose there are many things to post about  .....just none of them that funny except to perhaps myself. Today at my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) I got a chicken. Not a live one, mind you, but one already processed and cut up. The farmer warned me not to be fooled by the smell. After all grocery store chickens are bleached before being packaged and send to you and me. Her chicken is the way chickens really should smell....just rinse with water and cook as you please. Actually I thought the chicken smelled just fine. In the previous 4 weeks I have gotten things I have never cooked with before such as turkey eggs, rhubarb (I know, who hasn't cooked rhubarb?), turnip greens, and paneer cheese. This week included all things I have used before so that means no creative googling to find a recipe to use said items. Speaking of cooking, it always amazes me how I can come up with a well-balanced meal from thing in the house when everyone around me is saying "THERE'S NOTHING TO EAT!" Maybe I will have a dream or other insight to share with you all tomorrow. | | |
| Whatever has happened to this little old site? I used to get such insight into the lives of the young and old and now I only get my daily laugh from CarpeBanana.......good thing too! Facebook is the wave of the present, but I think I am too old to get a Facebook account, not that I want one. Maybe I will blog just a little bit more in the future, but don't hold your breath on account of my tendency to procrastinate. | | |
| Really I only have this account so I can post some measly comments on other people's xangas. I told Caitlin to post this on her account but I will do so here.
Picture the non-animal lover in our household walking past the bunny cage:
"Hi Bo Bo. How are you nice bunny? I love you Bo Bo......outside.....in a cage..."
Caitlin hearing this conversation jumps up and runs outside "STOP MAKING FUN OF MY BUNNY!"
I guess you had to be there.
About the book.....the slaughter of the Christians in Rome during Nero's reign brought me to tears. And we think that we have it bad when something petty doesn't go the way we want. I feel ashamed. | | |
| This post was encouraged by The Chickadee Feeder:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fourth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
ok, so here is my sentence.......
Ken Burns answered: history is the study of everything that has happened until now; unless you plan to live entirely in the present moment, the study of history is inevitable. | | |
