The Thoughtful Homemaker

I don’t normally watch Romantic Comedies, but there was nothing on the other night and I have free HBO for a few months. I decided to check out Definitely, Maybe. This is a cute movie about a recently divorced dad who tells his daughter how he met and married her mother.
He told his daughter […]

I finally had a nice day after weeks of illness and cold. The temperature got up to 61 degrees and it was sunny and breezy. Now it is beginning to storm, but that is fine because I love a good storm. I opened up all of the curtains and blinds to see the grey clouds […]

My son Jonny says some interesting things. He makes up words and uses an adult like vocabulary. This morning he reminded me of how I made him leave my room to go back to his bed. He said, “last night you removed me from your room.”
Aron is a talkative two year old. He teased his […]

Sunday I had my worst menstrual period in months. I could not get out of bed. Blood literally dripped down my leg. It was terrible and a little bit painful. So, Aziz took the kids out and I laid down in the bed all morning.
I decided to read articles on the internet because there […]

Aziz and I watched this on Netflix Instant. It is a three hour movie from India, a “Bollywood” period film starring Aishwarya Rai. It is a 3 and a half hour movie so make sure you have plenty of time to watch it. It is the story of the Mughal emperor Jalal/Akbar and his Hindu […]

I refused to go out and made excuses to stay in.
I avoided to look at the faces of friends.
I spent my days in my room worrying about life.
Worried about how I am a terrible mother and wife.
Spent all day obsessed with silly things-
Black hole death, Spanish Influenza, Alzheimer’s, “The Tennessee Waltz”
Spontaneous Human Combustion whenever […]

I still haven’t had any soda despite having a terrible headache yesterday. I never want to relive the pain I had last week again. I even went to Ladies Night Out last night at Macaroni Grill and still ordered water with lemon.
I say Ladies Night Out because when I wrote Girl’s Night Out my […]

It has been four days since the last time I had a Coke or Pepsi. I have been fighting this addiction for at least 12 years. A soda drink addiction may seem small but it can have some harmful affects.
Last Friday I was diagnosed as having a pretty serious bladder infection. I know it […]

I went to the chiropractor today and I feel like I have a new back! It is a strange feel but I already feel a little bit better. I am not running to the bathroom as often either so I wonder if that is connected.
I was reading other people’s blogs and I never realized […]

I may have Sciatica because I heard my lower back when I fell down the stairs. I am sure something is inflamed and is pressing on the nerve. I read about it and found out that many people have sciatica because of the trend of wearing low cut jeans. The pockets press on the area […]

My brother JJ and I love history books, the more detailed the better. I recommended From Dawn to Decadence. I think he still likes it! it is one of those books that you can read several times and read something different each time. The book is written by Jacques Barzun so it has a sort […]

When I get an idea in my head, it is very difficult for me to get it out. I also become obsessed with the idea. I think that is why I like genealogy. Obsession breaks down brick walls in your family tree.
There is a negative to this, however. My mind will determine something to […]

A friend from church actually recommended this movie. I saw a preview for it and decided that I really wanted to see it. I love Ricky Gervais, famous for being on the UK version of the Office. I even loved his small role in Night at the Museum.
So, I was excited to rent Ghost […]

I had nothing to do with this. I was giving my youngest a nap and the older two decided to play with the webcam! I made the video public since I don’t know anyone’s You Tube account name!

One thing that my family does for fun is actually make movies. Last Saturday we simply used our webcam. You can edit the videos on Windows Movie Maker. It was a lot of fun to do. The kids love making movies!
You can have a simple script and act out each scene. You can edit it […]
