Well now, the gals over at Sunday Shutterbugs didn't post a theme for this week. That's a bit frustrating but I'm sure that life just plain got in the way for this week. I know how that can go sometimes. So, keeping that in mind, I went into the archives and pulled out a random photo. I took this when Jim and I got...

It's Tuesday and the weather is wonderful! Why can't all of summer be nice like this? Today is a big tackle around here. We're pulling the tent out, setting it up and waterproofing it. Then, once it's dry, we're camping out in it tonight! Other than that, it's just more prep work around here, trying to get things...

The week after the week of insanity is here. It doesn't even feel as if last week was the one spent running around crazy. Time is blurring for me. I'm so frantically trying to get everything around so I can go camping with everyone next week. The one bonus of frantic is that I tend to get slightly more organized, so here...

It's Friday! We all made it! Sadly, Ben made it by catching a yucky cold. The poor kid has been curled up on the couch all day with a headache. He did eat dinner though, so that's a good sign that it's just a nasty cold. Hopefully a good night's sleep will help with that.
Today was a good day, though. We were home for...

It's that time of year again. The time when we all look at our cars and go ewww, where did all of this grime come from? Over the winter, our cars get coated with road gunk (yes, that's the technical term) and come Spring and Summer, we all get gung ho about getting them all cleaned off.
So, what's the most eco-friendly...

Wow, what a crazy week this has been. Today was the boys' last day of film camp. They had a great time but boy, were they exhausted by the time we got home at night. Luckily, they actually finished up 2 hours early today so we could be home by about 6pm. Granted, we would have been anyway, but by doing it this way, they...

It's Wednesday and I'm spending another day at the Hastings Public Library. It's such a fantastic library and I'm wishing that I still lived within district so that I could use it. I'm very tempted to have Peter get the boys their library cards here again and then we could get books and movies from here. The library...

And now it's Tuesday and I'm back sitting in the library with a crazy person across from me and a girl who really needs a shower sitting behind me. How do I manage to attract these people? Seriously.
Anyway, something else happened yesterday that I didn't mention. I got a new phone! My poor little razr is on it's last...

Ok, I know it's Tuesday but yesterday was just insane. I had to be out the door just after 11 to pick up the boys and to take them to Film Camp at the school. Then, I grabbed some lunch and went to the library with the intent on making this post, but that didn't happen because the library's wifi was being just plain awful....

Happy Juneteenth! I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I've made up another word, but you're wrong! Juneteenth really is a holiday that is celebrated in 36 different states. It marks the official end of slavery in the United States, 145 years ago. In 1865, the words of the Emancipation Proclamation finally...

Wow, we all made it to Friday and yet again, it's going to be a busy day. I have my show from noon until 3pm (eastern) and then I have to try to tackle that last bit of backyard that is still swaying in the breeze. If I can just get that down, then I can start properly mowing the lawn. Then, I need to pack...

I'm weird. I think my favorite room in the house to clean is the bathroom. I can't think of another person who has ever shared that with me. In my case, it's probably because the bathroom is the easiest room to clean. Granted, I have a bathtub that I don't think a nuclear explosion could make look clean. It was badly stained...

Ok, has anyone tried out this new Blogger editor? I switched to it so I could better use my Amazon Associates account but I'm just not sure that I like the actual editor itself. I guess time will tell. Maybe I just need to get used to it.
Anyway, it's Thursday and life still hasn't slowed down. I've already been outside...

Midweek and life hasn't slowed down any. I had my show today and also got the kids bathed and laundry going at the same time. The boys and I are doing pretty good on keeping up with our daily chore list so I'm really happy and proud about that. Yesterday, I also surprised them and we went into Lansing and saw Percy Jackson...

Ahhh, life at the Roets homestead. It feels as if there's is never a dull moment. Last night, oh the Oh Team, they were giving away passes to an adults only camping retreat (valued at $275) and I won! I was so excited, I could barely sleep last night. Of course, it means I have even more to get accomplished in the next...

Wow, life sure got crazy in a hurry. I just realized that I will be gone all next week, taking the boys to their film camp. I'm thrilled that they get to go, but ugh! I have to drive back and forth 5 days next week and then find something to do for the 4 hours that they're there. I'm going to do the grocery shopping one...

Happy Friday, world! I'd say TGIF but it's been a rocky day around here. I had planned on mowing the lawn but of course, we had a massive downpour which drenched everything all over again. I feel like I'm never going to get this darn lawn done. Then, the boys have been at each other all day. I've finally just made them...

Whew, what a day! Ben had an appointment with his orthotist in Grand Rapids so we were gone there for most of the day. We left the house at about 11:35 and didn't get home until after 4. It's an hour drive there, an hour drive back and we were there for at least 2 hours. It's tiring for all of us but it's a necessary...

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I had a really good radio show. I played all Country music today and dedicated the show to Aimee. I never realized just how much I miss having her there for my shows. Other than that, not much is new. The van got its window closed yesterday which is always good news. I also got all brave and...

Woo! We made it to Tuesday and I actually got some fairly good news about the van. It turns out that the motor did burn out, but they're going to be able to get the window closed without having to replace it. The best part? They're willing to do it for no more than $20. I'll take it. Eventually I'll have the money to...

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.As some of you know, I have a special needs child. Ben is 10 now and has Cerebral Palsy. While he gets around well enough, I have often wondered about the future. I've wondered if he'll be able to drive like "normal" people. I've wondered...
