1. We have fruit flies in the kitchen. Gross. I made traps with vinegar in glasses and plastic bags, but didn't catch too many, so I sprayed the kitchen tonight with poison. Poison in the kitchen. Awesome.
2. Yesterday school went really well. It still took us until 7:00 to finish everything. How can that be? Today started out well, got a little dicey in the afternoon, but ended OK. I need to work on my critiquing style.
3. Too tired for #3 tonight.

About Me
- Gabrielle
- I am a Christian, a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, perfectionist, night-owl, reader, conservative, photographer, and a lot more. I have 3 boys-- 11 year old twins named Joseph and Brigham, and a 9-year-old named Moses. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. I went from a 30-mile-a-week runner to being mostly wheelchair-bound in 2 years. In 2008 I was accepted into the HALT-MS study-- a clinical trial in which I underwent an autologous stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) in an attempt to put the disease into remission. So far, I have remained stable for more than four years! I am grateful every day for the new lease on life that God (and modern medicine and awesome doctors, but mostly God :-)) has granted to me, and the chance I have to teach and raise my boys, love my husband, and experience the joy, frustration, happiness, and heartache that life brings.

For your fruit flies: fill a jar with apple cider vinegar and a small amount of dish soap. Don't put plastic on top. Wait a day or two and you will have a collection of dead fruit flies in your jar. The thick soap pulls them down so they can't get out. This has worked for us a few times. :)
