I almost forgot. Today while I was checking out at the gro.store, the usually cheerful cashier was checking people out like a zombie. She just had no expression. I've never seen her like that. When it was my turn, I asked if everything was OK. She said "Well, if it wasn't I would not be allowed to talk about it." So I prodded with, "You look like ( Read more... )

Wow. JD's counselor called me this morn. and actually stayed on the phone for about 40 minutes. I felt like he was really listening to me. He agrees with me that JD's issues are primarily developmental. He said since JD will be starting High school next year we need to get some closure on this issue. I have never heard anyone say this before. I ( Read more... )

Well, I got another email from JD's counselor and this time he mentioned accountability, responsibility, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da. Don't people think we've been there, done that. I tell you I could turn off the TV, video games, and computer for the next month and it would not make him learn better. He is capable of doing much more than he does but each ( Read more... )

I know that skate shoes are usually laced a certain way so I took my older sons advice and looked for info in the internet. JP says you can find out how to do anything online. I googled shoelaces and actually found a site that is ( Read more... )

I am usually a very patient person but I take my job very seriously and sometimes young girls behave as if the babies in our care are for their entertainment. One of the girls sat a 6 mo. old baby in a cozy coupe (little ( Read more... )

House was so good last night "House light", "House classic" priceless.

Well, because I worked yesterday that added 5 hours to my paycheck. Yay. We had a meltdown though. One 13 mo. old thought one of the other parents was her mother. I know it sounds unbelievable but it is not the first time I've seen this. Who can say what markers a young child uses to identify familiar people. Anyway little H just screamed and tried ( Read more... )

I finally did get a chance to see "The Outsider" that was recommended by someone on my flist. It was pretty good and actually had a complete story. Not like some movies that start out good and then end abruptly like the producers ran out of money before the film is complete. I did find some of it to be unbelievable though, like the guy was ( Read more... )
