Yes, I'm still alive.
BOY! I have not blogged in a LONG time. Partly, I'm so busy. Partly, I had some real problems with my Mac over the summer and was using my parents computers to do things like e-mail and FB. And mostly, because of something I just said, FB. When I already wrote a note, posted an article with comments, or updated my status there, who needs to ( Read more... ) -
Reading
When my son was a baby and I was in school, I'd read him my textbooks as his bedtime stories. It was a "kill two birds with one stone deal" where he was out like a light and I got my work done.

And, personally, as long as it's not something that ( Read more... ) -
then and now
So this is my last week to sub for this school year. It's been an exciting one. I started the year off by working for Starbucks instead, because last year I didn't get called enough. But the boss thing wasn't working (my boss was doing things to a point I called HR), and working a 35+ hour week that wore me out was less pay than subbing only 3 ( Read more... ) -
The laughter of motherhood
So, on the way to church this morning, my son was talking about how he wants to rule the world. I teased that he's a cute little dictator. (He knows what that word means). Then I told him he could maybe be president of the USA, if he wanted. And pointed out that (from what I've heard) all the US presidents have been only children or the oldest ( Read more... ) -
mother's day poem
there is this little poem going around FB and e-mails. I think it's a bit dumb. Sure it's sappy and cute, and meant to mean a lot. But I think it's dumb. First off, I know a TON!!! of "mom"s who should have never had kids; they don't really raise them. I'm not just talking I don't agree that their kid should wear those type clothes and ( Read more... ) -
