49 Pieces of Sheetrock

Apparently, there wasn't an able-bodied man within a 20 mile radius of our house yesterday morning.

Do you see the window behind My Hero? It had to come out so the 49 pieces of sheetrock could fit in it.

And who helped haul, push, shove and stack the sheetrock? Yep, you guessed it. I am not a manual labor kind of girl. I am a girly girl who wears pearls (that Beachmama brought me from China!) and I don't enjoy sweating.

The kids were great! They loved helping. Even Appledoodle got in on the action.

Did I mention there were FORTY-NINE slabs of sheetrock? 49.

It obviously couldn't stay outside because Fay is coming. Fay's been coming for days now. Fay is currently not budging. But just in case Fay decides to slowly lumber towards the west, we can all breath a sigh of relief because the FORTY-NINE pieces of sheetrock are safe.

Fay probably won't rain on us at all since you got the sheetrock out of the weather!

I'm sorry. I didn't catch that. How many pieces of sheetrock was it?

To tell you the truth, it was a good work out!

It is amazing how able bodied men smell work and flee to safety!

Good thing there is like a 5 to 1 ratio of women to men or this world would be in even a bigger mess!

My First Assignment!

Image
Oh, What a Feeling!!! That's the title of my first BFS Assignment. I'm to share a little about what led us to homeschool in the first place....and our ups and downs. The title is kind of funny to me...mainly because THIS homeschool mom runs the gamut of "feelings" about our home educating adventure. One day I feel great and encouraged...the next day I might feel like I've completely lost my mind to think I can teach my own children a livelong thing. One day I feel like I knowthatIknowthatIknow Father has called us to homeschool and the next day, I feel like I'm completely ruining the poor little dears! Please tell me I'm not alone! My two older brothers and their wives introduced the idea of homeschooling to me, who went to a private school all 12 years. There were friends here in our small town, as well, who were homeschooling when hardly no one else in a 60 mile radius was. I talked to my sister in laws at length about their reasons for homeschooling and...

Rayray's Recap of American Idol

Image
Since I haven't blogged on American Idol in awhile, our Rayray is going to blog tonight in my place. So without further adieu, here's your American Idol recap, through the eyes of a 13 year old. Hey people! I am so honored to be my mama's first guest blogger! Here we go...My first American Idol blog! I'm so excited! :D Allison, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing: Oh, Allison. Why in the earthly WORLD did you pick that song? That's David Cook's song! *Flashes back to last season* David brought it on that song last year. *flashes back to present* It was too low pitched. I wanted to see her hittin' those big notes tonight. I'm a big fan of Allison, but it just wasn't that great tonight. Anoop Dawg, Everything I Do I Do For You: You should've taken Randy's advice. Rough it up! It sounded like he didn't even try to take his advice. I'm kinda sick of ballads, too. Is it just me, or has he done one like, three weeks in a row? ( PajamaMama loved ...

What You Missed....

Image
Why is it that when there's tons of great stuff to blog about, I drop the ball and don't blog!!! Perhaps it's lack of time!!! Anyway, I'll catch you up on what you missed with a photo essay. Our Jelly Bean becomes St. JellyBean every Christmas. He grows out his beard and has his whole head dyed white. He has an awesome "suit." Not many folks get a private photo shoot with Santa in their living room! (This pic was only after phase one of beard-dying.) My nephew brought his fiance "home" to meet us all. She's a tiny little cute thing and we so enjoyed being with her! Fiance had never been to a Winn Dixie but loves the book "Because of Winn Dixie." So at 9:00 one night, guess where we took the poor little deprived child! Fiance is an avid basketball player. Had the nerve to do what no girl has every done....challenged the Hero to a little one-on-one. She let him win... These two cousins adore each other. They are two of the sweetest, mil...
