I am allowed to bragg

What a beautiful day, full of sunshine and lots of mud. Day one of March has brought me much happiness and a cup that most definitely flowed over.

That black box that is across from our driveway, the bane of my existence some days, ok most days because it never ever has my freelance checks in there when it should. But today, it was my best friend, my very best friend and not because of a check.

A simple thick cream colored envelope with "The Parents of Krischan Miller" in beautiful Calligraphic handwriting. Hmmm, what is this...but I wait till I get in the house. I throw aside the rest of the junk, no checks, bahh. I open this beautiful envelope and my eyes grow wide and a smile as big as the world appears on my face.

"Honey, Listen to this!" I start reading the letter about how Krischan was nominated to participate in the "National Young Scholars Program" summer program in Chevy Chase Maryland!! I keep reading about how Krischan was chosen because of his maturity, achievement at school and leadership skills for one so young. My voice got caught in my throat and a few tears leaked from my eyes.

My Krischan!! a scholar!! Watch out everyone, I am going to be a completely unbearable mother in my moment of pride and love for my oldest. How cool!! so now we are on an adventure of how we are going to get him there and pay for it all.

Anyone need any design work done or Arbonne products?


Krischan got a big kick out of the fact that it was addressed to "Master Krischan". (Oh boy, is this house going to be big enough for all our heads?) He is so excited that he gets to spend a week away from home and can't decide what "discovery strand" he wants to partake in. CSI, The Human Body, Creative Construction, or the one that gives a sampling of all three.

check out my little scholar : )

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

who does the world revolve around?

Mornings can be very interesting. This morning did not disappoint. Jakob and Kadence wanted apple juice for breakfast instead of milk. Rick didn't want to give them apple juice because he felt that was just weird. He wouldn't drink apple juice for breakfast, so why should they. I laughed and told him that this isn't Rick's world and it doesn't revolve around him. "what!?" Rick turns to Jakob and asks: "Jakob, does the world revolve around me?" "No." was Jakobs reply. So Rick decided to ask him who the world revolved around. I was minding my own business making my breakfast when I heard Jakob say "mommy." Let me tell you, that is one smart little kid.

My dishwasher died.

A couple of weeks ago our dishwasher was a loud raucous annoyance. It didn't used to be, it was one of those "quiet" dishwashers. Well, we use it so much I think we kind of slowly started killing it. It got louder and louder as the years passed, till it was at the point it was a couple of weeks ago. I am not kidding. It was so loud I would only run it when I was leaving the house. You couldn't even watch a movie because it would over power the movie. Then one day, we noticed it was back in it's quiet mode. Dishes looked clean, and they were...for a week. Yesterday I opened the dishwasher to put the dishes away and noticed they weren't even close to clean. There was a big pile of detergent just sitting on the bottom of the washer. Doesn't the soap know that it needs to get up into the dishwasher to clean? So this is my thought. Screw calling someone to fix it. We know that story, it costs just as much to fix it than to buy a new one. I say we buy two ...
