The lighting is bad, because I took these at night. . .but the desire to do so hit me, so I went with it. Our walls are still frightfully barren, but things are starting to shape up. As you will see from the captions, this was a "group" effort. Even if some of the ladies …

Not so bad despite the fact that I was in it
So the first official week of school has come to a close. In fact, the first official Saturday after the first official week of school has very nearly come to a close. . .and we all survived--even thrived this week.

Perfect
Sometime last year, through another blogger's suggestion, I began reading The Nie Nie Dialogues. In short, it was the cute blog of a young mother--four babies--handsome husband--beautiful life.

Prayers Needed for Rita
A dear friend just called and let me know that an unusual mass was located behind her mother's eye during a yearly eye exam today. The doctor fears it could be cancer. The mom's name is Rita, and her father passed away recently from the same type of tumor. At this point no MRI has …
While in Galveston
On Tuesday of last week, I had a mini nervous breakdown of sorts. I found out that the last door (of which I am aware) to a job in the district closest to our new home was slammed in my face much like the nanny-hiring scene of Mary Poppins. That being the case, I am …
