The Happy Homemaker

Aron told me he hated me for the first time. I was sending Victoria to the neighbor’s house to go to school. We live less than a five minute’s walk from school and the neighbor’s daughter is in Victoria’s class so Victoria goes to school with the neighbors. We decided that was better than me […]

Mine is Tom Davis (R). He is not running again this year. Fimian (R) and Connolly (D) are running against each other. I live in a very Republican part of my district. There are a lot of retired military in this area. However, Annandale is also in my […]

I got to watch live the $700 million bailout fail. They still have not made a decision. It was like watching an Olympic 50 yard dash and was pretty exciting. I heard that many changed their minds because of the voters calling and making complaints, so calling your Congressman does work. I think it is […]

On Saturday, we decided to go to Eden Center, a Little Vietnam in Fall Church, VA near Arlington. We used to eat Vietnamese food all of the time in Hawaii and I used to eat it all of the time in Atlanta. I especially love “pho” a Vietnamese rice noodle soup and I thought it […]

I have been coughing all day and all night despite all of the medicine I took. I feel fine otherwise I just hate all of the coughing coughing coughing. It makes it hard to concentrate on anything.
It is now cold in DC as we are in the middle of a Nor’easter storm. IT is […]

Today is not so good of a day so I am glad that we went to the park yesterday. Our ward recently started a playgroup on Wednesdays. I am real excited about it. I love the group of women who go. They are all a lot of fun. Jon Jon has a couple of boys […]

I had such a busy week that I should have to write a novel! On Thursday, I went to the urologist and discovered that I left my insurance card in another purse. So I had to drive home and get it and then return back to the doctor. I got a prescription for a medicine […]

This is something that I have done the past few months that works. I keep stocked UHT milk, the type of milk you can shelve along with powdered and evaporated milk. I stock up on that during times that I have little extra money so when money gets tight I use the UHT milk. That […]

I am now taking the yoga pilates class at Powerhouse Gym where I am now a member. Since joining I have lost 4 pounds in one week. I am very excited about that for I feel that it is about time for me to lose a little weight. I am getting a double chin that […]

Last Friday the kids and I went to the library. We go to the library about twice a month. Jon runs to the comic book section and Aron likes to play with the puzzles. I try to find “chapter books” for Victoria while Aron runs to look at the “choo choo” books. After the […]

I have a question, what do you think are the most dangerous ideas? The ideas that have caused the most damage to society? This is a difficult question but here are a few of mine:
1. Emperor worship, when one man anoints himself as god and the rest are slaves
2. Government worship which can easily lead […]

1 pound of ground beef (or pork or lamb)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 8 ounce can of tomato sauce

2 tablespoons of […]

I spent my Sunday in bed because of a cold. Aron caught the cold earlier in the week from the Powerhouse gym child care. Victoria and Jon caught it then finally I started to get sick on Saturday. My husband drove me crazy constantly picking on me and taking unflattering pictures of me all day. […]

This week has been so busy. This week I worked on getting my Virginia Driver’s license and my passport renewed. That took up more time than I thought. I also started going to the gym. I am busy most of the day running errands or doing laundry. Laundry takes up most of my week. Jon […]

ABC News posted a story saying that Sarah Palin went to six different colleges!!!!! She didn’t even get a law degree!!!!! I guess that is one more reason why I can never aspire to do anything for my country. I went to four different colleges, though one was during high school and another was an […]

We all hear about women in power, but what about mothers in power? The recent choice of Sarah Palin as Republican Vice Presidential nominee who is a mother of five raises that question. Is it possible for a conservative mother to be in a position of power? Being a history freak, I decided to look […]

To all of those who wrote me comments and did not see them appear forever, I apologize. I forgot to check my dashboard and check the comments. I was on vacation for a couple of weeks as well and just didn’t feel like blogging.
I am back into it and hope to make a little […]
