The Damn Ham

Thursday, April 29, 2010

So, Don can be sassy too.  It doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s pretty fun.
Suffice it to say, this evening he found his old honeybaked ham scraps in the freezer while looking for something else.  He got a tad bit irritated because we had forgotten about them because someone had wrapped them in [...]

The Boys Of Baraka

Thursday, April 29, 2010

One of the things I love about homeschooling is the time and freedom it gives us to do and learn things that we may not do otherwise.   This is particularly true in our case with Rye because he only has a smallish window of time in the day when he is open to learning [...]

Homeschooling Bipolar

Monday, April 26, 2010

Homeschooling is going well for us.  Life is so much calmer now.  I am loving it.
It’s funny, though.  Sometimes Rye’s friends ask me why we are homeschooling now (in case you don’t follow the blog, we just recently went back to homeschooling after about a year in public school).  I explain to them that because [...]

The Runaways: The Movie

Monday, April 26, 2010

I saw this movie Saturday night and I’m hooked.  I’ve now been driving my son and husband nuts going around the house singing:
Hello Daddy, Hello Mom, I’m your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb!
As for the movie itself, I really liked it.  It’s not a monster of character development but it’s visually beautiful to [...]

Sunday Review

Sunday, April 25, 2010

The week in summary:
Monday we went to the Neurologist.  I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised.  The doctor was a female and she was the most personable and friendly Neurologist I’ve ever met.  In my experience Neurologists are usually a bit dry, conceited and brusk.  However, she was quite the opposite.  She was friendly, [...]

Momo Ain’t Takin’ No…

Saturday, April 24, 2010

My dad’s parents were great grandparents.  Well, not great grandparents in the generational sense but in the sense that they were  great to have as grandparents.  My grandfather, Papa, was a hard working, reliable, quiet and reserved man.  He started in life with nothing and made it big, so to speak, by being a part [...]

Stan

Friday, April 23, 2010

Stan:  Is there something wrong with you?  I have just been made aware of your creepy full disclosure statement on your website about blogging parents.   If you do anything that compromises the anonymity and therefore safety of my son, I will assume you are stalking me and stalking my son and request assistance from [...]

Onward And Upward

Friday, April 23, 2010

Not too long ago I was able to run 5 miles and barely break a sweat.  It was glorious.  I was fit, had tons of energy, my clothes fit nicely.  Then, for whatever reason, maybe things happening around here, bad weather, just plain laziness, whatever, I still can’t quite figure it out, I quit running [...]

Comments

Thursday, April 22, 2010

This is originally a comment I wrote (found in sidebar) and I decided to make it a post.    Please note the following:
___________
Stan et al, as far as I recall I have never attacked you [or anyone] on the internet personally.  You may find my comments around the web to be, in your opinion, contradictory.  [...]

Drugging Kids & Bristol Palin

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

I don’t feel like writing today but I have read some great posts I thought I’d link to.
First the serious post.   This is a great post from Stan which further goes into the drugging of children in America.
“I think possibly 10 to 15 years up the road,” he [Healy] told Shields, “we’re going to be [...]
