Hrm. This guy's logic seems alright to me. A friend recently said it is the time to go buy a really, really expensive house, since once inflation goes way up, the house loan will be the same as a loaf of bread at the new rates... :) (More)

Long Time Coming - Pocket Notes

6/14 - On our camping trip, Faith liked to play Ice Cream Shop. Her flavors are unique: pineapple hot sauce, strawberry beet, water, to name a few. After those, I requested just plain ice creams, though she really wanted to put hot sauce on most of them. We finally settled on a... (More)

Firefighting

I don't think it has been said here, other than in small mentions here and there, that I joined our volunteer fire company in Middlesex Township a couple of months ago. I am not sure of the exact number of incidents that I've gone out on, but the number is probably around 8 or so, though... (More)

Shards of Glass and Other Ways My Life Isn't Perfect

Jon was with a bunch of people we don't see often last night, and one of the men mentioned that his wife was discouraged by all these homeschooling mother-of-many type blogs where everyone has all their lives together and nothing goes wrong. So I thought I'd post how my life is not... (More)

Jonathan's Lemonade Stand

Jonathan's new adventure in earning money is a lemonade stand. He thought maybe he could call it "Lemon Daley" as part of the family theme. At first, he had all sorts of grandiose ideas, including a frequent buyer's club, a toy day (when you get a toy with your purchase), and a fancy... (More)

Morning Conversations

Noah (while we started the woodstove): Can fire do anything to metal? Dad: It can melt it, if it is hot enough. Noah (wide-eyed): So, you could melt the metal into a sword? Noah then relays the conversation to Jonathan, who is taking a bath. After some discussion about where one might get... (More)

Lots of Notes

Faith has started calling Jonathan, "Ohnny-int" This is related to how she says medicine ("meddy-int") and other words that end in /n/. She also says her own name, which sounds unfortunately rather like "Hate" but the /t/ is a bit softer, maybe halfway between that and "Hathe".... (More)

Pocket Notes

3/11 - Faith can count to six. 3/12 - Faith counted to ten. She isn't consistent with this. She'll get stuck after six, but if someone says seven, she can do the rest on her own. I don't think she has quantity recognition past five, though. And she sometimes likes to... (More)

Old Hard Drives from Amazon and Newegg

I bought 6 Seagate hard drives from Amazon and Newegg, and both companies sent me drives that already had half their warranty expired. Amazon, after waiting for the customer support guy to handle 5 simultaneous chat sessions, and so was quite slow at responding, did send out a mailing label... (More)

Joy Ellen Daley's Birth Story

I'd been having these strange contractions for a few days. Not the simple Brackston-Hicks that I have throughout pregnancy that feel tight but do not hurt. Not crampy labor contractions, either. They were very tight and they hurt. They came usually when I was sitting – on the couch or... (More)
