Letting Go of Perfection

Posted in Thoughts

Tonight, after I had tucked Munchkin into bed and had gotten ready for bed myself, our doorbell rang. I went to the door to see who was at our door at this time of night. It was our neighbor. I looked around our house; it was a bit messy as I’ve been focusing my energy on taking care of Munchkin. I sighed and opened the door. She needed some ice (her son had oral surgery and they didn’t have any more ice to make ice packs) and wanted to know if I had some to spare. Knowing that my house…

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

I’ve been nursing a sick little girl all day. She’s been so ill today that she didn’t want any lights on, no t.v., and no mommy leaving her side.

I received this from a local homeschool group and thought others might be interested in it as well… Starting in 2007, daylight time begins in the United States on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time. These dates were established by the Energy Policy…
