Raising a Teenager
I know who I am voting for…
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Well, I took awhile to decide…my decision was never McCain or Obama. It was neither or none. LOL. However, my husband is VERY political and VERY much into Biblical issues and ramifications of our responsibility as Christians to MAKE A Difference.
So, he encouraged me to investigate and watch them both. I have been. The turning [...]
Happily Homeschooling

I LOVE being a homeschool Mom!!!

What ever happened to PG-13???
Friday, June 27th, 2008OK…so I am REALLY becoming disgusted with this INSANE society that we live in! Where can a Mom find a good movie that is safe or her kids…and for MOM!
We rented Fools Gold the other night to watch with our teenager. She loved Matthew Machonehey. Unfortunately, we never finished it…Somewhere between G-d and bare b [...]
Good Job, Crusher!
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Well, we are in the final stretch of American Idol. Last night was a clear win for Archuletta. Simon declared that he CRUSHED the competition in his performances last night. I must agree…he just had it all. Right song. Right attitude. Right voice.
OK…let’s get to the review…
David Cook :
Song 1 - (hungry like a wolf) [...]
What’s Paula on…and where can I get some??? ROFL!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Did you see what happened last night? Paula was quite a bit WaCkY. I mean she went to judge the FIRST song and was talking about BOTH songs when the second one was not even sung yet…she was a bit loopy all night.
Possible Reasons…
1. the show is not really live…
2. there is something more in [...]
Simon Loves Me (this week)
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008That was the wording on the T-Shirt Carly pulled out when Simon complimented her. ROFL! Poor thing…I think she really needed some affirmation from him! Well, another week of American idol performances has come and gone. It had all the usual funny bantering and quarreling.
This week’s mentor was a bit unique though. He does Broadway, [...]
I Survived Camping!!!
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Well, I must say that God is GOOD! He made camping pretty good for our family over all. The weather was PERFECT. I mean it was cooooool in the evenings which is right up my alley! The bugs were bearable as well…except for thr “hiking” ones.
The couple that supplied our HUGE tent, also supplied us [...]
I thought it was a little wanna be “ISH”
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008ROFL! That was my favorite line of the evening of American Idol banter last night. Simon said it to Michael Johns. Honestly, for the most part, last night was a bit of a disappointment for me. I think with the broad range they had, it could have been WAY better!
OK, let’s get started with my [...]
Potty Training Break Down…
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
LOL! Whew! Let me tell you…potty training is not for the faint of heart. I am sure that any Mom reading this would agree! LOL! I had a break down today…I think my children think I am nuts…LOL…they may be right…
I had just finished giving my teenage daughter the “consistency and following through” lecture. Lecture [...]
Crazy World…
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007It is very difficult to raise children in this crazy world…especially a teenager! Where are all the “good” role models?? I mean everywhere you turn there is a star that has mostly “teen” fans in some sort of drug rehab. And, not even the kind that is going to make a difference in their lives. [...]
Teenage Crush :)
Thursday, July 19th, 2007My teenage daughter LOVES Keith Urban. She thinks he is just adorable. She like his music a lot too. I am very careful what I let her listen to. We mostly listen to Christian music and some country. She has never really given me a problem. Keith’s music is pretty good and there are even [...]
Something I learned about Skin…
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007I have a beautiful teenage daughter. However, I am sure you all know that with the teenage years many times comes skin issues.
Personally, I never really had skin issues. I would get a zit or two once a month when my monthly…not so nice friend…would visit…LOL. Unfortunately, my DH DID have skin issues [...]
What was she thinking???
Friday, July 13th, 2007Our teenage daughter is doing an internship at church every Wednesday. They start at 8:30am and go until 8:30pm. The purpose is to teach these wonderful self-absorbed teenagers about ministry, responsibility, relationship with Jesus Christ, and the ins and outs of being in a ministry.
Well, this past Wednesday, they cancelled. Unfortunately, they did not tell any [...]
