Do You Judge Other Moms? - Blog Entry

07 Jun 2007 10:25 PM

You held your temper a lot better than I would have -- that comment about keeping your pants on was just wrong and judgmental and rude -- hey, now I'm mad! Can I go beat her up for you? Can I? Huh?

The Day Fitness Changed - Blog Entry

07 Jun 2007 05:24 PM

I like working out to videos because then, no one can see me. :) I'm in my own house, and if I wiggle like a bowl full of jelly, I'm not embarrassed that the hunk on the next machine can see me. I have several of Richard Simmons' tapes -- I like them because he uses overweight people for his dancers and not super skinny ones. It makes me feel better.

That's just wrong. I'm so sick and tired of celebrities thinking they can do whatever they want to, and then not getting punished for it because they're famous. I think that the judges should make sure not to let them off, because they're so much in the public eye, and our kids need to understand that there are consequences to actions.

Homeschooling the Creative Child: Do You Have One? - Blog Entry

Oh, man, Valorie!! That is such a highly intelligent comment for your daughter to make -- how can the teacher possibly think she didn't know her colors?

Marriage in the News: Temporary Marriages - Blog Entry

04 Jun 2007 12:24 PM

You know, if it's only for a few hours and there's money exchanged, that sure sounds like prostitution to me. What's in it for the woman? Money. What's in it for the man? Gratification. There's no committment, which is what marriage is for.

Sounds to me like they've made marriage too political and now they're having to dig out of it.

Broadening My Personal Scripture Study - Blog Entry

This is going to sound really evil, but I actually feel more connected to the Doctrine and Covenants than I do to the Book of Mormon. I believe them both to be true, but I seem to find the D&C more . . . I don't know how to describe it, but it "speaks" to me in a different way.

Homeschooling the Creative Child: Do You Have One? - Blog Entry

Yes indeedy, I have a creative child -- I have four of them! This is one of the reasons why unschooling works so well -- it's easier when we're not so rigid.

Gospel Doctrine: Faith to Move Mountains - Blog Entry

30 May 2007 04:10 PM

You know, it's very true. Sometimes we don't understand why He keeps asking us to pick up the tiny pebbles and move them, and it's not until we step back and see the mountain that's been created that we really get what He's been trying to get us to do.

Did You Get Your Flaxseed Today? - Blog Entry

Yes, it's me, the Flaxseed Fairy!! :) I take flaxseed capsules regularly to control my carpal tunnel. It's fabulous stuff!

Primary Time: Sacrament Meeting Mayhem - Blog Entry

You will make it through. There will be days when you'll wonder, but you will definitely make it through. :) Mine are almost 11, 8, almost 6, and 2 1/2, and we have some of the wildest Sacrament meeting experiences imaginable. But now that's just with our little one -- after slogging through the jungles, our oldest three now all behave really well in the meeting. Persistence (and a well-provisioned church bag) pays!
