A badger! Oh and a new blog site too. Come join me....Jordana2009-06-11T09:56:57-06:00Quick!

1. My nine, six and four year old children have been going to a Totus Tuus program all week. Technically it's for rising first graders and up, but for some reason they let the almost five year olds come too....Jordana2009-06-05T09:58:25-06:00Optimist or Pessimist?
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/288066.php
The two year old goes running past, tushie bare, not particularly interested in putting on pants after jumping off the potty. Says I, "Hey, you're half naked." Says he, "I half not naked, too."...Jordana2009-06-02T15:55:08-06:00If You Are Looking For Me, I'll Be Hiding Under the Bed
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/287561.php
The morning started out well. The oldest came in and announced he had started making breakfast. That's always a nice thing to hear, even if he chose a recipe beyond his competency level and we had to help him a...Jordana2009-05-20T17:06:22-06:00What Does the Garden Grow?
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/287259.php
I want a pretty vegetable garden, but I also want it to provide me with tasty things to eat. In the area closest to the house, I have herbs (basil, rosemary, lavender, thyme, and oregano), strawberries, five blueberry bushes, leeks...Jordana2009-05-14T08:20:28-06:00Mother's Day in Pictures
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/287129.php
I had a lovely Mother's Day full of church, gardening and, of course, children -- children who gave me sweet presents. A rose from church, two cards, and a chocolate bar I started nibbling even before I could take a...Jordana2009-05-11T12:50:12-06:00Urban Farming
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/287038.php
I like growing food. There is something so nifty about going out the back door and picking stuff to eat. But, in general, I don't like the looks of vegetable gardens. I long for pretty flowerbeds, even as I...Jordana2009-05-08T14:49:08-06:00Icon Art Project for Little Flowers

My oldest daughter participates once a month in a Catholic girls' club with other homechooled girls about her age where they meet to learn about a saint who embodies a certain virtue, then they do a craft, eat lunch...Jordana2009-05-04T07:59:20-06:00Ride That Potty Train
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/286718.php
Babies that wake in the night. Dogs with intestinal problems in the middle of the night. It does tend to keep me sleepy. However, the thing that is keeping me most busy for the past two days is the...Jordana2009-05-01T11:32:32-06:00I Admit It
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/286687.php
I'm tired. I'm always busy. Once in a while my children need attention. And I don't know if my blather is worth writing down any more. So I'll ask for a vote. Jordana should:(online surveys)...Jordana2009-04-30T15:42:25-06:00Holy Week, Easter and a Birthday
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/286088.php
Thank goodness we filed our taxes early, or the past two weeks might have caused a full blown nervous breakdown. To start at the end, Pope Benedict and I have a birthday today. My husband got me some beautiful...Jordana2009-04-16T15:38:28-06:00A Little Backwards
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/285200.php
Toddlerese from the two year old: After eating dinner: There are pants on my soup! After bonking his head: There are eyes in my water! He may be a little mixed up, but he's awfully cute....Jordana2009-04-06T17:13:08-06:00Bread! Glorious Bread!
http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/285100.php
I've always been a yeast-a-phobe. Even baking bread in a bread machine often left me with crummy loaves of bread. I was convinced I just wasn't meant to bake my own bread. But... "You have got to try this...Jordana2009-03-30T07:50:20-06:00Books -- They Aren't Just for Reading Anymore

http://curmudgeonry.mu.nu/archives/284075.php
I've been sick again. Or still. I lose track. I first got the flu exactly a month ago and within a few days was so miserably sick that I thought I had pneumonia. I went to a walk-in doctor place...Jordana2009-03-10T16:07:13-06:00
