About Me

My photo
I am a mom, a wife, and a teacher-librarian. I have four boys at home: Main Man (44), #1 (14), #2 (11), and #3 (7). Although they keep me very busy, I also look after a library for an elementary student population of 500 (give or take). I love my family; I love my job.

So, what do you think of...


...this season's "Bachelor"?

The boys and I caught the show for the first time tonight.

The consensus was that he was a bit cheesy.

At one point, he was telling one of the girls how much he admired her spirit, her intelligence, her warmth, her honesty, her generosity, her sincerity...fill in any more cheesy-sounding compliments here.

#2 piped up, "This guy uses more descriptors than a Harry Potter book!"

Out of the mouths of ten-year-olds...

What Kind of Cake Am I? Chocolate, Baby! What Else is There?!




You Are a Chocolate Cake



Fun, comforting, and friendly.

You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality.

People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you.

What Kind of Cake Are You?

I had sort of forgotten about Blogthings until I visited my friend Pissy's site yesterday, and she reminded me of how much fun these things can be.

Try it out.

Wish Me Peace (and a Broken Leg)


I'm enjoying an ever-so-brief moment of peace before I wake up the monkeys.

This will be a busy Sunday. The church school musical performance is this morning, followed by a potluck hosted by the church school.

The musical is adorable - a look at what life was like for children aboard Noah's ark. My favourite song is "What Do You Do on a Rainy Day in an Ark?" I play the part of Mrs. Noah, and my solo is "Have You Ever Kept House in an Ark?"

This morning I need to finish up my pasta and meat sauce for the potluck and be at the church an hour early for last minute rehearsal.

Wish me a broken leg!
