Yep.It happened.The kids and I left Monday morning for Cousin's Camp, three hours away. Hubby was already at a work-related-retreat and wouldn't be home until Tuesday evening. … [Read more...]

Why I Have to Run my Dishwasher EVERY Night

June 28, 2010 By Dana White | 99 Comments

I've mentioned to a few people that I run the dishwasher every night, and empty it every morning. They think it's strange to not just wait until it "needs it." They don't understand because they're normal. I'm not. I have to make myself run it every night for two reasons.   First, by running it at night, I'm able to empty it … [Read more...]

Hereditary Blindness

June 25, 2010 By Dana White | 4 Comments

It's official.  I've passed down my selective-vision to my children. VBS is officially over, and I'm in cousins' camp/vacation/Savvy Blogging Summit prep mode. One of the biggest things on my list?  Clean out the Suburban.  The brand-new-to-us-but-really-13-year-old-and-yes-we-do-listen-to-Dave-Ramsey-why-do-you-ask Suburban. Why is it … [Read more...]

Focus Check Friday

June 25, 2010 By Dana White | 2 Comments

I'm ready for Friday.  It's been a fun week of VBS at our church, but I'm glad tomorrow is the last day. As for my focus this week . . . I've survived.  I halted the big weekly cleaning tasks, and I'm okay with that.  I did alright at the daily stuff, though far from perfect.  Once I quit expecting failure, things went much better. Next week … [Read more...]

Sharpening My Other Senses?

June 24, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I've heard that if someone loses one of their senses, their other 4 are sharpened. Hmmmm.According to the eye doctors, I have 20/16 vision. However, not one of those doctors has been able to diagnose or treat my Super Selective Slob Vision. But perhaps this type of blindness has helped me develop what hubby calls my Bionic Nose.I have been doing … [Read more...]

Really? Well, Who Woulda Thought?

June 23, 2010 By Dana White | 2 Comments

Quick post in the 23 minutes I have before I need to start dinner. It was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon at home, but someone called to suggest we go see Toy Story 3 in a little-bit-bigger-town near our small-town. They have a dinky theatre where the matinee is 2.25!!! Seriously, I paid 9 bucks for me and the three kids to see the hottest … [Read more...]

Living Up to My Expectations

June 22, 2010 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I've been saying for weeks that this week, VBS week, was going to be my undoing.  I expected it to be crazy, myself to make excuses, and order to be unattainable. This is the big struggle I face between being realistic about how I am, and deciding to stop the excuses so I can change the things I need to change. I've been trying to be … [Read more...]

Feeling a Little Better

June 22, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

Just got back from a late-night haircut and color. Nothing perks up a girl like getting her roots done. It's also a biggie checked off the list of things I wanted to do before going on vacation/Savvy Blogging Summit. I worked hard on getting laundry folded, and made a lot of progress. Completing that task will go a long way in making me feel … [Read more...]
