OctoPhoMo 9 in Just in Case
All those things I didn’t do yesterday - yeah - I’ve got to do them tonight. Papers to be graded. It’s always “fun” because the cats have to lay on the papers, chew on the pens, and at times, che...
OctoPhoMo Day 8 in Just in Case
One of today’s prompts is shadow. I don’t know if this one fits, but I love the play of the light and shadow. It’s been a perfectly lazy day. I did have a few things I needed to get done- and I ...

The Day in Just in Case
It feels like it’s been a long week, and it’s only Tuesday. Yesterday was horrible. I was exhausted and the kids were…nuts. (They’re a little like lions, they sense the weakness and go for the j...
Catching Up in Just in Case

Good-bye and Hello in Just in Case
So it looks like I may have dealt a death blow to my old sturdy little mower after all. So, may parents generously funded the purchase of a new one. (Repayment rates are much easier to parents th...
Poor Stella in Just in Case
I’m a terrible kitty mom. I was later getting home that expected because I had to run by and get boxes of Total cereal for science tomorrow (the kids designed experiments to see if the iron in th...
Well, I think I really did it this time in Just in Case
I was mowing the yard (after weeks of rain, we have several days of sun!) I was mowing in an area that I have many times before. There’s the remnants of a landscape timber across the yard. It’s w...
Harvey and Fire Truck in Just in Case
Harvey is supposed to be paying a visit in the next 24 hours or so. We should really only get a glancing blow, nothing like what they’re getting in Texas. They’re saying around 8 inches in rain. ...
Just a wee little friend in Just in Case
We actually had a sunny day today, with no rain (well, a shower popped up this evening), but it was sunny all day. It was also HOT. I was going to mow early, but the mower wouldn’t start. So I tr...

Almost There in Just in Case
I’m still not completely finished. I’m going up today to finish my library, which is the biggest job I have left, but it’s come a long way from that anxiety inducing view of everything piled in t...
Where Did the Time Go? in Just in Case
I went school clothes shopping with my mom and Cbaby. I will say, shopping with Cbaby is so much easier than with Tootie. Cbaby is about getting it done. Tootie would shop in 10 store and then go...
Another Day in Just in Case
The work in my classroom continues. I’ve got pretty much everything put away, other than things that hang on the wall. It always takes time after painting to get those to stay on the wall. For th...
