What's Worse Than a Dead Skunk...
in the middle of the road?
A dead squirrel in your ceiling!
Want to know how I know?
For the last couple of months we've had an awful stench, that comes and goes, in our master bedroom closet. At first I just thought it was dh. :-) Then we removed all our shoes, and things from the shelves, and cleaned everything well, thinking there was a dead mouse in there somewhere. Nothing. When the smell returned last week, worse instead of better, we removed all of our clothes, as well as everything else, and put them in another room. The smell seemed to grow worse.
By this time the idea of a dead mouse in the walls was becoming a dead body under the house - well, at least a possum or a cat or something. Surely a mouse would have disintegrated by now.
While I was gone last week, after I'd removed everything from the closet, dh set out to investigate. First crawling under the house. Of course, our closet is in the far corner from the opening to get in the crawlspace. Nothing.
He told me he was checking the ceiling next. He didn't. He decided to tear out a wall first. Nothing. Finally, he pulled down the ceiling. As he shifted around the insulation ---- down it came! some insulation paper with a dead squirrel in it. UGHHHH!
I'm glad I was gone.
Now - dh is re-drywalling the ceiling. Re-drywalling and mudding the wall.
My clothes are still in piles, covering the bed and desk in the guest room. My shoes are still in trashbags covering the floor of the guest room. Awaiting the repainting and applying of the trim in the closet.
But at least the smell is gone.
The pattering of little feet across the roof of the house isn't near as cheerful a sound as it was a few months ago.

He's at it again
Greetings from Me and My House,
I went to Homeschool Convention this past week. On the phone with 4yo ds the day I was coming home, I told him I was coming home and asked if he missed me. Was he ready for me to come home?
"No."
OK. The next day at home, as he was getting ready to go to his brother's soccer game, and I was staying home, he said, "Bye Mom. I'll miss you."
Fickle or convicted, I'll take it. :-)
Stay tuned for the excitement at home while I was gone. You won't want to miss this one.
At Jesus' feet,
Lisa @Me and My House

Things Children Say
Greetings from Me and My House,
New update to our children's vocabulary misunderstandings.
Overheard at lunch today, by 4 year old son, spoken about his sister.
"I'm a male. Shekynah is an email."
BTW, 6 yo son is now praying "Dear Heavenly Father," not to our "danly" father.
Hopefully, we've also brought understanding to the 4yo that girls are Females, not emails.

New Law
Greetings from Me and My House,
If you haven't heard of the new law taking effect on Feb. 10th, that will affect the selling (and giving) of all children's products - including toys, clothes, books, curriculum, etc., do some research and contact your Congressmen and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The law is called Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, CPSIA.
I've written about some of the potential ramifications of this law, that appears to not have be well thought out at all. It will affect us as parents (or anyone that buys for children), home educators, and taxpayers in general.

Scott Frost?
Greetings from Me and My House,
We sometimes wonder where our children get the ideas they have, the connections they make through their immature thinking. Here's today's from our 6 yo.
You may not get it if you aren't from Nebraska. :-) He's never seen this Christmas show (I don't think), so the only reference point he had for it was probably a commercial for it. And this is the connection he made.
He was looking at candle holders we have that have snow men that are ice skating and sledding. He said,"Snow men can't do that; they would break." Here's what followed:
"There's a movie about a kid who makes a snowman and it comes to life. But it's really Scott Frost."
When his brother told him it wasn't, "Scott Frost is a football player," he was adamant, "No, it's a different Scott Frost."
"No, there isn't."
"Yes, there's another Scott Frost in a snow movie."
"No, that is Jack Frost."
By now he was totally confused.

What Do They Want?
Greetings from Me and My House,
It appears :-) that the best things for me to post to you during this season that you are probably very busy and so am I is some help for your busyness. I hope the discounts I've been sending have been helpful to you.
Don't know what to give? This one should take care of most. I'm not one who really LIKES to give such, but I know they are liked; and at the price of shipping long distance, and the fact that most people have already bought what they both need and want anymore, this just ends up being the best option.
Here's one where they can get just about anything they've had their eye on that you don't know about, or can't afford the whole thing.

Thanksgiving Blessings!
Greetings from Me and My House,
Oh Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His mercy endures forever!
I hope you have all been able to spend some time learning about the Principle of Christ's Image in the lives of the Separatist Pilgrims who came to America for liberty of conscience in worship. Our studies are still not complete. We will actually continue on for a while, finishing the book we're reading and our Journals.
Read below for FREE activities to do today - and our Thanksgiving Greeting to you!
If you didn't catch the email about it, and want something for your children to do today - free things you can get right now on the internet:
Today is a day of rest and Giving Thanks. Thanksgiving doesn't end tomorrow. Tomorrow begins ThanksLiving™.
Today the house is clean - for the moment. The children are eating hot, homemade Good for You-Naturally!™ cinnamon rolls and drinking hot cider while watching the parade. The potatoes, yams, dinner rolls, and pies are finished. I'll make a Cranberry Almond Green Salad and throw the turkey in later. (Our menu and some of our recipes are posted on our 'from me' blog.)
The children will color corn-cups - nutcups that we will place 5 Kernels of Corn in at each placesetting. I'll assemble some harvest centerpieces. We'll read and listen as we make our final preparations, and set our "best china" table. We will sing a Psalm (or more) of Praise to our God. We will read the Pilgrim's own account of their first Harvest Celebration in America, and of the "5 Kernels of Corn" from their Starving Time the year before. And we will Give Thanks for all the bountiful blessings our Lord God has given us.
Family dinner will be at our home (if you haven't guessed yet). We will have 17 here. Those that are unable to make it will be greatly missed.
We will have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
I pray you will too!
Don't forget to check out our Thanksgiving MEGA-Sale! from Me and My House

iMindMap Super Special
Greetings from Me and My House,
iMindMap Version 3, with a host of new features, is available!
iMindMap is the world's only "official" mind mapping application, and it's just been made even BETTER!
Version 3 was released this week, but until Monday, September 8th, you can purchase the Ultimate Version (the top of 3 editions) at the Version 2 price of $115. That's a savings of $180!
Not sure if it's what you need yet? You have a 7 day FREE trial period to check it out. But be sure to purchase by Sept. 8th to get the discount pricing.
Not sure of what I'm talking about, and why you should get this? Learning Maps™ are a key component of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™. They are a type of mind mapping. They certainly don't have to be made on a computer, but I find a computer mind mapping program to be helpful - when it works the way mind mapping works, that is, the way the mind works, in helping us learn. Read this article on our website to learn more about Learning Maps™ and mind mapping software.
Then use our links to give iMindMap a try - and remember to purchase before Sept. 8th to get this HUGE discount!
