We’ve had this conversation countless times in our house but I think because we are  dealing with the invincible crowd it falls on deaf ears. My mother-in-law can’t imagine what could possibly be so important it couldn’t wait until we at least arrived at our destination. I have to agree with my children that there…

My guest today on Toginet Radio, is Debbie Harbeson.  Debbie has a blog called, Homeschooling is Freedom and Fun for Your Family and in it she poses four questions for existing homeschoolers to answer…then she posts them.  She is gathering quite a collection from the world and America….America doesn’t think she’s part of the world, did…

Today is my son’s birthday and unlike previous birthdays we will not be awakening him at the crack of dawn with hats, and whistles and dogs and cameras and voices raised in his all time least favourite song: “Happy birthday to you…” Nope, today he awakens himself at the crack of dawn to go to…

Earlier in the week I referred to myself as a “moving man” and although this is politically incorrect in the gender generic world we live in I rather like the idea of being a man sometimes! “Moving woman” sounds wimpy, it shouldn’t, I’m not a wimpy woman, in fact I’m a bit of a feminist,…

With all this Yoga going on and my flexibility peaking in my middle age, which is anywhere from 35-50 depending on how long I think I may live, l sustained an injury quite unexpectedly.  I was at Jazzercise, heighing and ho-ing, inside my head (I just can’t bring myself to yell out loud in public)…

Yoga is a barefooted discipline.  I do not like barefooted disciplines because my feet are not my best feature, I was a dancer, and dancer’s feet are notoriously rough looking.  My feet perform well for me, but they are not “sights for sore eyes,” as my mother would say! At Yoga I’ve been noticing my…

I have been taking Yoga now for three months.  I started out in the hot place where the rooms were kept at a healthy 98.6.  In Texas this is a little redundant as it regularly reaches that temperature without any help from humankind.  But since it was winter I was happy to sweat it out…

Dinner club tomorrow and this month we are off to Italy.  I know what I am wearing, it is a beautiful Laura Ashley that I bought twenty some odd years ago, very chic with the look of a peasant, if that’s at all possible?  But I’m worried about my husband, his suggestions went something like…

Not only do I find myself double, but triple booked! This is unforgivable and the second calendar must go… I tell my son I have to be able to take my “moving man” hat off by 2pm because although I only have two simple words written in my diary, “dinner club”, a multitude of behind…

The story behind the second diary is not because I kept filling up my kitchen one, it’s because I now have a study of my very own, for the first time ever.  Empty nest does have its advantages!  This is a pretty little desk calendar that cannot be toted.  Ostensibly it was to keep track…
