The Bar Exam

I am taking the Virginia Bar Exam. Two years ago I failed the North Carolina Bar Exam. My excuse was that my husband was in command and I found out I was pregnant after I sent in my application. Well this time I am pregnant with our fourth or as we affectionately call her, Delta. I will pass this time, no questions asked. I may go insane in the process, but I will do this. Any encouraging words would be very welcome, particularly in July!!

Rain Rain Go Away

We drove to North Carolina on Saturday to get C baptized. The trip took about six hours, seven if you include our hour long stop to let the kids stretch their legs. So on Sunday we left about 1:30 to head back home. It took us almost ten hours to get home. The weather was horrendous, torrential downpours and terrible traffic. A car driving behind us tried to whip around us and ended up spinning out in the median on a major highway. It was so scary. We didn't get home until after 11 pm. Then my poor husband had to wake up and drive to work, dodging flooded roads the entire way. It is still raining. I am just grateful that we didn't meet up with any tornadoes!!!

Moon Sand is the Devil

I used one of my Michaels 50% off coupon to buy Moon Sand for our airplane trip to Florida. Fortunately I wised up before the trip and did not take it along. This morning, prompted by a major rain storm, I cracked open the moon sand. What a total disaster!! Sand inside the house is not a good idea, even if it does stick together from time to time. I didn't buy the kit, just a tub, so we didn't have any of the molds you can use to shape the sand. It also meant that we didn't have the play mat. I would highly recommend some kind of mat on the table, because it took a lot of wiping and cleaning to get that stuff off of the table. Then I had to vacuum up all the sand that fell on the floor, it all came up, but left a very fine grit on the floor that won't come up.

I really can't say anything nice about moon sand. Save yourself time and money, don't buy it.
