I am more than happy to relegate the image into obscurity. In case you’re curious, it was a macro of a particularly stupid-looking cat peering at a laptop, captioned with, “they are make fun of me”. It wasn’t hysterical to start, but it became amusing when proven prophetic.

My works are free, because I want them to live on.

More things I want:
FlyLady’s Rubba Scrubba
FlyLady’s De-Clutter kit

Taking FlyLady really slow. Am only on babystep 12. I want to make sure I’m entirely comfortable with each step before I go on to the next. Don’t want to get overwhelmed and start feeling like this thing is a chore.

Past week was a fantastic week in recovery. I think the FlyLady progress is adding to my serenity; it’s easy to see things to be grateful for in a home that gets cleaner by the day with so little effort.

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you’re a dreamer, but you’re not the only one.

Via spc476 – The Bitter Homeschooler’s Wish List. It says so much better than I could what needs saying to the prejudiced about homeschooling. This kind of prejudice cost me a lot in court, and my kids are now in public school, miserable.

I shut up now before I go all off in rantville.

Speaking of school …

If it’s not one thing, it’s his brother. I’m going to have to give my kids more middle names so that I can yell at them properly.

Provoked by a recent conversation …

For spc476 – I actually participated in this – I clicked links in the very same top 10. Didn’t buy any, but still. Nice going!
