From the mouth of Jessica.....: Mexico 16
http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2009/03/mexico-16.html
Saturday, March 21, 2009. Wow - What an adventure. All I can say is amazing! 160;The first day we get to McAllen, Texas my wallet is stolen. I lose my debit card, driver's license, ss card, etc. That's pretty crappy - you'd think it would just go downhill from there, but no. Once we get to our site and meet our family and start work - everything else moves to the back of my mind. 160;It was too funny! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). From the mouth of Jessica. Teacher, Wife, mother of two. Married...

From the mouth of Jessica.....: Almost Time to Go!!
http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2009/03/almost-time-to-go.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Almost Time to Go! Two days and counting until we leave for Mexico! Right now I'm a nervous Nelly about the details. Is all of the laundry done? Do I have everything on the list? Evidently I am the biggest dork who follows rules too carefully! But - I found out that my shorts were too short - not Dasiy. Duke short, but just not 1" above the knee either. So - like a good little rule follower I went to target and bought a couple of new shorts and dug out old capris. Married to St...

From the mouth of Jessica.....: September 2008

Monday, September 29, 2008. What Will I Do. Have you ever thought what you will do when you turn 96? It's really kind of an interesting question. And in my family - evidently one that needs to be asked quite often. We have an odd mix of family traits - half our family side (my mom's) has a history of senility and Alzheimers while the other side (my dad's) has a history of living a long life. Add those two together - what do you get? ME - living long but being CRAZY! My job as the youngster is to try and ...

From the mouth of Jessica.....: Crap, Crap, and More Crap!!!!!
http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2009/01/crap-crap-and-more-crap.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Crap, Crap, and More Crap! Just when you think you're done with it it keeps popping up - kind of like a wart that you thought was gone so you stopped putting medicine on it, stopped wearing the band-aids, and sure enough just as you started to forget it it pops up again CRAP! My husband's youth was crap, his family was crap, and dealing with it now is still - you guessed it - CRAP! The real crap of the situation is that my husband is one of very few in the whole family (several ...

From the mouth of Jessica.....: Composting Dog Poop - is it going too Far?
http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2009/03/composting-dog-poop-is-it-going-too-far.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Composting Dog Poop - is it going too Far? Okay - so I'm into the "green" thing. We recycle as much as we can. I love the new PlanetGreen channel 102. "Living with Ed" is one of my favorites! I'm trying to convince my husband a hybrid is worth the cost. Anyway - I have two rather large dogs - and they produce a large amount of waste - what do you do with it? So - I'm reading - watching and I come across this website that has a solution. A dog poop composter! How cool is that?

From the mouth of Jessica.....: August 2008
http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Here it is Sunday evening and I'm just now catching my breath for the first time! My second brother - the "middle child" has always been somewhat of a mystery. He never thought school was a big deal - he was always more concerned with partying, easy-going - a real people-pleaser, sort-of a hippie type personality. Can you say a little tension? And now I'm done! Wasn't Labor Day originally a holiday set aside to be free from work? So, I've met Tammy the new wife and her kids, it's...

From the mouth of Jessica.....: Mexico Here We Come!
http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2009/03/mexico-here-we-come.html
Sunday, March 1, 2009. Mexico Here We Come! Okay - - so maybe I'm crazy - but that's nothing new. My oldest gets talked into to going on a mission trip to Mexico during spring break with his friends and I think - What a great idea for him. He needs a break - he needs a little lesson in humility as well as a reminder of how fortunate we are and a reminder of the meaning of "doing for others". Then - a couple of weeks ago amidst a minor personal breakdown a friend says "why don't you go to Mexico too?

http://jessicabarrett.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. Finally I feel like I have accomplished something in terms of getting ready for school! Feeling a little out of shape! Sojust got back from the gym where I'm proud to say instead of walking on the treadmill I ran for 25 minutes straight - no pauses. Now I don't know the milage, I was afraid to look I thought it might depress me! I came home to brag to my 14 year old - who didn't seem too thrilled - oh well! Wednesday, July 30, 2008. I have just a few things I've missed this summe...
