An Ode to the Southern Girls

February 25, 2008

You may need to turn off the music so you can hear the monsoon snowflakes.

ps – It’s an hour later and the world is now totally white. Not even the evergreen are green! I love Iowa, I love Iowa, I love Iowa…

A curriculum post again. Feel free to meander on to the next blog on your list if curriculum posts aren’t your cuppa.
I think I’ve nailed down our choices for the boys’ next school year. Our school year runs from July 2008 until May 2009. We use short but frequent [...]

Dedicated to Zoe

February 20, 2008

I hope my readers will understand a pause in my usual Wordless Wednesday. Today my heart is heavy. Many of you have read my oft references to my friends, the McTriplets. Through Mommy McTriplet’s blog I have lurked and followed several blogs of babies much like my own Trouble.
Today the life of [...]

The Funniest Thing That Happened To Me This Week

February 19, 2008

I hear my iphone ringing in the other room. I break into a sprint, make the mad dash across the house to pick it up at almost the last moment before it would go into my voicemail.
“Hello? This is Darcy…” I answer. Someone once told me if you smile while you answer [...]

I Crashed My Own Blog!

February 17, 2008

I’m sure that gives those of you who are in my design queue tons of confidence, but it’s true. Some of you may have happened upon my blog and gotten a message that Life With My 3 Boybarians was inaccessible with an error code. I was freaking out! I admittedly use my [...]

Long Overdue Weekly Report

February 15, 2008

It’s been awhile since I’ve done any sort of weekly report. I love hearing what other bloggers are up to, but one of my New Year’s resolutions was to eliminate some of the things that may be fun but require a disproportionate amount of time for their value. All those fun videos fell [...]

Pants on Fire

February 12, 2008

Six and a half minutes.
That’s how long I survived the first round on the elliptical machine.
Which is pretty good considering my first urge to get off came at 42 seconds.
So that leads me to my next topic: I don’t believe you. Those of you who say things like, “Oh, [...]

It’s a Marathon

February 7, 2008

I imagine even the most experienced teacher has doubts at one time or another. I am nowhere near what I would called experienced, and I have them all the time. But unlike a school teacher who can blame the parents, the system, the curriculum choices made for them, the requirements to prepare for [...]

Happy Mardi Gras and Thoughtful Lenten Season

February 5, 2008

Today is Mardi Gras, or Martedì Grasso, as it’s called in the Roman Catholic Church.
For those of you who have spent your lives in a cave, this is also the last day before the Lenten Season, which starts tomorrow with Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter.
As a child in Catholic school, we were reminded of [...]

Keepin’ it Real and the Value of Camaraderie

February 2, 2008

So much going on here! Notice the new song? Trouble picked it out just for YOU. It’s from Shrek 2; and fits nicely with his current obsession with all things Shrek. What Trouble may not know is that he is MY hero.
First, I need to acknowledge this package that arrived at [...]
