Power Rangers
I was just trying really to think of a title I haven't used before. I am actually sitting here as Conor is watching in the living room. What is funny is that as corny as it is I have always kind of liked the show. I am sure there is some kind of spiritual metaphor there somewhere but my mind isn't in full operating order yet and there are too many distractions, even at this early hour.

I was talking to a regular at work last night and the phrase "There is always something to be upset about, but it is a choice we make to be happy." Or something along those lines anyway. There are resets I have about how things have gone lately. Lately meaning the last year. I am impatient to fix my mistakes and I am not sure that I have learned any lessons.

On to another random thing. The kids are out of school for the summer. The last day of school they started asking to spend the night here, go do this, and why couldn't they do that. I told them they had to let me have a break for the rest of this week before we start going and doing. I figure if we "map" out a plan then we won't wonder where the summer went and why we didn't do anything. Of course the planning of next years home school happens over the summer too.

Conor and I just took a side trip - As Alan was leaving for work he passed a snapping turtle in the grass part beside the road close by. We trotted on down there and took some pictures. I can't find the cable to download the pictures, but when I do I will put one up here. Pretty cool and it was big too - at least a foot across.

Well, our summer adventures begin.

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
