Updates!!

So, obviously I haven’t been on here in a long time…..but, especially, I haven’t blogged about homeschool and our related adventures. Well, it is kinda complex and yet, really simple. After the Winter break, Boo basically decided not to do the work that was assigned…..which she did kinda gradually. From January until mid-March, she SLOWED [...]

I Need Some Advice

I’m needing advice on how to handle a situation. I have gotten some thoughts from my sister – – thanks, Kat!! – – but, I would like to get thoughts/ideas from sources that both know what’s going on (and have an emotional investment) and those who don’t have a clue – – other than what [...]

Shut ‘er Down!!!

 At lunch this afternoon, Sassy Sissy says to Boo, “You were such a cute baby. **pause** What happened?”
Without missing a beat, Boo tilts her head, and says, “You know, I have wondered the very same thing, myself.”
KA-PLOW!! She’s been shut down!

Updates and AAR through May 23, 2008

 
Well, in the last month, I have attended each Chiropractic appointment as scheduled – – which, has kept us “off-track” a little. I have a little more than a month to go.
Also, my oldest, Sassy Sissy, was “found” again – – she was missing for 7 weeks (this time) – – at least she called [...]

At the end of March, we went on a mini-vacation to Missouri. It was nice – – except, I did something to aggravate my jaw. Yikes, the pain was very interesting – – haven’t felt anything like it. The pain went on for more than a week, when the folks in [...]

Keepin’ It Real: Parenting: The Why’s

Since I did the parenting blog, I thought I would elaborate on why parenting is not always my favorite thing in the world. Almost all parents, before they actually become parents, just tell themselves that all they want is a “healthy baby with ten fingers and ten toes.” The truth is, they have no REAL [...]

Keepin’ It Real: Parenthood

 I am reading this great book: “I was a Really Good Mom before I had Kids.”
How many of you feel like you were a good Mom before you had kids, too? (Or for those non-parents out there: do you think you are a great parent now?)
It’s amazing how much crap we give ourselves [...]

Learning….through laughter and tears…..

Learning happens….even when you least expect it……..at the grocery store, Taco Bell, and Wal-Mart, for Pete’s Sake. Today Boo learned how to handle conflict, evaluate problems and make decisions.
That kind of learning is emotionally draining……so, in an attempt to cope, I turned to “Tuesdays with Morrie.”
Was I smoking crack? Seriously. Who in the [...]
