Trouble with Biblical Costumes

Fail!  I fail as a mom.  I am not crafty.  I do not sew.  And I cannot even safety pin!  My children had their spring program at the one day a week school they attend for homeschoolers.  I was supposed to provide them with Biblical costumes.  Me?  Seriously?  There is no where to buy costumes . . . → Read More: Trouble with Biblical Costumes

I say annonying things

I’ve told you before that the crazy or annoying things people say usually don’t bother me.  For the most part I think they are funny.  It is because too often I find myself saying crazy things.  They sound quite normal in my head BEFORE I say them, really they do.
