The Trouble With NOUNS.....

Yesterday was a typical school day in our house...... However we are having trouble with nouns.

Here is a peek into a conversation Elyssa and I had yesterday.

ME: " Elyssa please read the first sentence and then tell me what the nouns are."

Elyssa: "Ok, Do I have to do all of the sentences?"

Me: " Elyssa, Yes, now no more complaining."

Elyssa: "Fine. One day a fox was walking along in the forest when he spotted a bunch of grapes hanging on a vine." (actual sentence) " now what do you want me to do?"

Me: " tell me what the nouns are."

Elyssa: "Fox" "Forest" "grapes" "Vine"

Me: "Great now tell me if they are singular or plural. What is Fox a person, place, or thing?"

Elyssa: " Mom, fox is a single fox." " it is a person!"

I proceeded to explain to her that a fox was not a person, She just said that to her a fox was a person.... This is the animal lover in her, she is one with the animals hence animals are persons too......

As Blogs Go......

I am new to the whole world of blogging but, as blogs go...... I am finding that it is much like a new born baby that needs to be nurtured in order to thrive. You have to feed them, that is what I am doing now. You must change them, or they just bug you until you do. You absolutely must put them down at night so that you can get some rest, not quite sure what they do in cyber space, but I hope it is also resting! Lastly they need lots of attention, other people ooohing and aaaaahing at them. They really love the attention. You even get to play lullaby's for them. Watch them grow and evolve......



I am tired from being up late at night with my newly borned blog. Dial up is no way to birth a blog. It is a long and arduous journey. One that takes many hours of patience and long suffering.

But alas, I LOVE my blog!!!! I am raising it the best I can and I hope that I can mold it into the blog, that I am really proud to call my own one day. So far I am biased I really think it is the cutest little blog.



For 2 nights now I have dreamed about my blog, it has invaded my sleep. Last night it was about the template, background etc.... colors flooding the back of my eyelids. At least it has not come to nightmares yet...... I mean what happens when I start to dream about all of the bad things that can happen to a helpless little blog?



Oh sheesh, I may need a vacation from my blog!
