The movie posters for HP7 have caught Moo's eye.  I told him after he lets me read the books to him, I'll let him watch the movies because the books are so much better than the movies ( Read more... )

I've moved my jobhunt blog to CountdownToTheCut.Blogspot.Com  and posted a new entry.  Check out Book Proposal! Job Hunting! Fear. Read it! Promote it!  You never know, someone who reads your blog/facebook/twitter could have a great job for me.

Look at that happy couple.  Let me tell you, my husband is a great guy to have around.  He always knows just what I need to feel better.  I was feeling hopeless and worthless earlier (being told you are worth being paid 1/3 of your current salary can do that to a person) and I left for work in misery.  When I came home, I found an email from my ( Read more... )

*Happy Summer!  We are once again doing a summer program based on Moo's therapies - Outdoor play in the morning before it gets hot, SEIT for three hours in the late morning/afternoon, OT or play therapy after with learning with mommy and art projects and play dates and adventures or funtime with Manny thrown in to the gaps.  I wasn't as on top of ( Read more... )

*I just saw a link for an article, "How to wear summer shorts," Uh, one leg at a time?  Honestly, I am biased against shorts on women.  I stopped wearing them in high school because I just didn't like how they look.  So now when summer rolls around I'm always like, "ugh, you'd look better in capris or a skirt."  I mean, in general, you should ( Read more... )

It occasionally occurs to me that I am not the best "boy mom," ever.  I imagine this would be less apparant if Moo weren't so typically masculine in his play style and I hadn't been such a girly girl.  Moo LOVES vehicles and robots and pirates and LOTS AND LOTS of fighting.  He uses play to create and resolve conflicts in safely violent ( Read more... )
