Where Did Friday Go???

Ok, so I totally ran out of time to do a Friday’s HHH post today.  It’s been one of those days. Where the phone rings so much that you get a temporary case of tinnitus. Where you forget to put a VERY LATE bill into the mailbox, so you have to drive to the post [...]

Anyone like miracles??

The first night of my trip to Florida, I was tucked into my king size bed, in the deepest of travel-ridden comas when I was awakened by my cell phone.  Once the consciousness began to return, I noticed it was 1:30 in the morning and that the origin of the call was listed as “HOME”.  [...]

Randomness

Summer is so…so…unstructured, isn’t it?  I guess that is a good thing, because we all need some “unstructured,” right?  But what about us ADD-types?  I’m beginning to think that there is such a thing as TOO much unstructured. My exercising, for instance, has gone the way of the dinosaur.  During regular homeschooling months, I always [...]

I Have a Permanent Grudge Against July 4th

Its bad to hate a holiday, (and although I’m not necessarily Little Mary Sunshine, I still enjoy a good celebration), but after this weekend, I’m officially putting July 4th on my Grudge List.  Stupid Independence Day. It started out okay.  We headed to a waterfall we had never visited (which was basically at the bottom [...]

Thisses and Thats+

It’s New Years, and I am feeling random. So let’s throw momma under the train and rabbit chase for a minute. ~~Have you checked out my blogroll lately?  I’ve made some changes as my feed reader has updated, and you might just find that one of my new favorites is your new favorite as well!  [...]

Da’ Bomb

I didn’t post yesterday cause I was in a state of shock.  SHOCK, I tell you. Why? Cause it would seem that our little teeny tiny house is not just snug – – but snug as a BUG on a rug.  WE HAVE FLEAS! Technically, it is the dogs who have fleas, but we are [...]

I had to walk a mile just to vote!!

    Now that I got your attention, I guess I had better admit that I VOLUNTARILY walked a mile to vote.  Sometimes it is just so awesome to live and homeschool in the city!  Like this gorgeous, 65 degree day, when the boys and I were able to combine civics with PE today and [...]

Dining Rooms Are Overrated

Yes, the Topsy-Techie household remodeling project is about 90% complete.  I think I may have mentioned that we live in a SMALL house (2 bedrooms, 1 bath), and our boys are growing at the rate of about 8 cm per day.  They are like bamboo…you can literally watch them growing.  Add in some privacy issues, [...]

The Dangers of Remodeling

Remodeling should definitely come with some kind of warning on the package.  Last night, I got up as usual in the pitch black darkness to take care of business, and had forgotten about the dining room rug rolled up in the hallway.  So I guess you know what happened next.  Tripsy-daisy, right into the pile [...]

WISH it worked for me Wednesday

I love the Works For Me posts over at RocksinmyDryer.typepad.com, but since not much ever works correctly around the Topsy-Techie household, I thought I would talk about what I WISHED worked… Case in point: Using my son’s Wii Remote as an All-Purpose Remote Tool     Thanks to a blogging buddy’s Teaching and Learning Spanish blog, I [...]
