Nowadays, I only listen to the radio on the rare occasions when I’m driving myself around. (We are a one-car family for now; when MFH drives, we listen to his iPod.) Usually I set it to the local Christian station. I tried listening to some country again yesterday, but it was all […]
This Mother’s Day column by Vox Day is one that I keep going back to re-read, when I get too worn out by the constant battle to maintain a level of civilized life in my home. He’s got it right that motherhood is not all cupcakes and cherubs.
I’ve quit my job; my last working day was last Friday, and on Saturday I crammed all my work stuff into the car and hauled it over to the office. So that’s why I was so busy last month. I gave my notice at the beginning of the month, and then spent all […]
Things have been just crazy around here. First, our landlord was having five windows replaced, so we had to move a lot of things out of the way, and then clear out of the house for a day. The worst thing to move was our kitchen shelving. I had to box up […]

….that “deliver us from evil” implies that we can expect to run into evil every now and then.
According to last weekend’s Pioneer Press, average Twin Cities snowfall is 38 inches, but we’ve only had 12 inches this year. Bah. MFH pointed out, though, that this year it has stayed cold, so that measly 12 inches is still on the ground. But it looks like we’ll be having warmer weather […]
