Doing everything except what I'm supposed to be doing

keyboard

Over the past year I have found that my blog has grown to be a daily part of my life.  If not a nightly one too since I often find myself dreaming in css or html code.  Or, I find myself tossing and turning before I fall asleep because my brain is too busy thinking about my web statistics, when I . . . → Read More: Doing everything except what I’m supposed to be doing

My hubby's personal secretary

Paperwork

My hubby, Super Genius, is a small business owner. He is really good at his general contractor job and I admire the way he can work with his clients to make sure they’re satisfied with the work that he does for them.

With summer days of children being home 24/7, chickens running around the yard, and the dog coming in and out, it’s no wonder things aren’t as fresh as they should be. When I started to notice this aroma though, I worried about other people noticing it as well. That is embarrassing! So . . . → Read More: I despise my carpeting… just sayin’

I don’t like heat. I like Autumn, with it’s cool breezes and crisp days. I have not complained this year about the heat until today.

Things of my backyard haven

slash the hen

In our backyard we have many things.

Speckled fluffy silly things

clucking cooing, a bit too curious

plump and useless wings

Things that offer beauty joy and softness

sweetness tempts the buzzing

drifting to my ear

Things that brood with patience

What day is it??

Rain Rain Rain …and yep you guessed it, more rain! Ugh, this dreary wet mushy muddy swampy weather seems to have everyone on auto pilot lately! Even Mr.T. came home from school yesterday and asked me what was wrong with everyone! Why is everyone so quiet lately he asked? I looked up at him from my couch cushion, peeked out from in between the folds . . . → Read More: What day is it??

TGIF

big dork

Jazzercise class was awesome this morning.

So awesome in fact

that I whacked my instructor’s monitor in the face…

Yes, you heard me, my arm flung out behind me

and whacked her right in the head.
