A random post of my life in general.

Anybody here from Homeschool Alumni? I know a few of you are...anyway! As some of you know, Jim (JimBow) just came back from ALERT, a military camp, and...you also know...he eats skittles. All. The. Time! So...one of the gals on there decided everybody should flood him with skittles, and that is just what we did! In honor of this grand and important occasion, I recite...some bad poetry by yours truly! :)



The Skittle King has returned to his realm,
Yes, the Candyland King is back at the helm,

He's back to his horses and back to his cattle,
Back to his lasso and back on the saddle,

But he's sad and no wonder,
You don't have to ponder,
He ate all the skittles again!

So... bring out the stamps and bring out the skittles,
Send them to Jimbo, it isn't a riddle,

And joy shall be spread, far and wide through the land,
When there is enough candy for all!

I warned you it was bad! lol

I'll give you a better post later!

" I was Glad When They Said Unto Me, Let Us Go Into The House of The LORD"

Are You a Fool?

Instead of playing a trick on ya'll...( we couldn't think of a good one)...I decided to give you something that will show you your foolishness...or hopefully lack-there-of! :D Brought to you by Elizabeth and Anna Sophia Botkin, this is both frightening and yet..very telling. In all of our teenage wisdom (cough, choke) we still don't always get it right. :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday was a very busy day...music lessons(5 all-in-all)first, and then a fairly restful afternoon later on. THEN...I went to do chores. Now, any of ya'll who have seen our barn know that it's NOT made for a lot of animals. You know, like what we have. :D It's actually a horse barn, with 3 stalls and a HUGE aisle right down the barn. So, little, and awkward. :D
When I came in, there was a big wheelbarrow full of cow manure right smack-dab in the way, so I proceeded to pull it out and empty it. Actually... I TRIED. The ancient thing only can be pulled as general rule, Rarely agreeing to being pushing like a obedient wheelbarrow, and it weighed aprox. as much as I did...complication #2. So...that took a while, and then I cleaned out the milking stall, which really did need it. Complication #3 came when I decided to start hauling water buckets...not a big job, but I got water down my boots... So THEN I milked. :P You may imagine I was a bit tired that evening!
