I am actually excited! My back is real sore though. I will write more when I have time I promise!

I was not excited when Evan Almighty came in the mail from Netflix. I had heard it was a terrible movie. I was also put off because the Bible says that He promised to never flood the earth again. I checked the rating and decided as a family we would watch it. I was happy [...]

Sometimes when you are raising babies by yourself, you feel yourself going into insanity. I do this when I am super tired and my children refuse to go to bed. Victoria’s teacher was absent yesterday so she was in a bad mood. She hates change and has been diagnosed with having separation anxiety problems. I [...]
