During the quiet of prayers tonight, I happened to look over to the bed where two of our pups lay in the lap of luxury. They usually are sleeping with little doggy grins on their faces as they enjoyed the pillow of the human creature under their charge. Tonight, however, they were performing synchronized itching.… Continue reading dogs’ itching harmony…

fetch…
Throw the ball and the dog will fetch it. Toss it again and it will go after it once more. And sometimes it will throw the ball itself just to chase after it. Did you know babies do that, too? I never did. Until now. Header baby was screaming and crying through the first part… Continue reading fetch…
I live with a computer…
I live with a computer. It isn’t very nice. At night when I am sleeping It opens up its eye(s). The darkest night is shattered When it raises its ugly head And the peaceful stillness of evening Changes from my bed. For just the briefest moment The darkness of the night Is no longer darkest… Continue reading I live with a computer…
hearing problems…
Have you ever had days when you swear you told your kids to do something…but they act like they have hearing problems? It is the blank stares that take the cake. Or how about, “Mommy, do we have to do (the same specific thing you told them to do 5 minutes prior)?” Or the best… Continue reading hearing problems…
baby jail…
There comes a time in every baby’s life when they experience the dreaded “Baby Jail”. When crawling around under foot, playing with items of questionable durability, or just generally screaming for no particular reason while tracking down their selected older person (who is usually busy trying to do something), these tiny terrorists will find themselves… Continue reading baby jail…

Bliss. One online dictionary reads: “reach a state of perfect happiness, oblivious of everything else.” That is what state of being header baby is in tonight. During prayers tonight, he decided to take my little coin purse from me. He then proceeded to bash everyone on the head with it. His next target was the… Continue reading bliss…
I don’t feel like writing…
There comes a time when the muses leave you. They decide they’ve done enough, then leave for the Bahamas. I’d like to join them. Winter is lasting far too long. The rain doesn’t let the ground dry long enough to take a decent walk in the woods. And the smallest one in the house won’t… Continue reading I don’t feel like writing…
eviction notice…
Okay. I don’t know who let these guys into our house. Not even sure who they are. But somewhere along the line, we have ended up with series of individuals who have taken up residence in our living quarters. How, you may ask, do I know they are here? Simple. Ask any of the kids… Continue reading eviction notice…
puppies…
There is a stage of childhood that I’ve often called, “the puppy stage”. Not yet at the age of reason or enough experience to know they can’t do everything they’d like without sometimes having serious consequences, parents and guardians help to teach them not to do things that might hurt them. Such things as touching… Continue reading puppies…
the journey to laughter: final week 5
Quotes and stories, finding laughter in the midst of life. Day 29: I went to an amateur radio festival with some of the grandkids. Being a semi-geek, these things appeal to my geeky side of nature. Two of the kids are interested as well, so they wanted to tag along. While I was there, I… Continue reading the journey to laughter: final week 5
