I still want to send my teenagers to you. It scares me what I'll do if this happens to my kids. I shouldn't say "if," I should say "when." I'm just not good at this. You're a good mom, K. You really are. I hope I can be like you if we have kids.
I write this on the morning we lay my dear cousin to rest. I'm wondering what words I can put on these pages that can be sufficient to explain what Bill meant to his family and friends. To me, Billy was the embodiment of FUN. I always knew that when I got together with Billy we'd have a good time no matter what we did. It didn't matter if we were picking r
Gah. Previous post by me. I think my battery conked out before the actual switiching of names took place. Sorry!
It's absolutely beautiful! I love it! Many of my friends knit or crochet. I've tried both, and unfortunately, I think I just have the kinds of hands that can't do either, or play piano. I guess I'll stick to my dorky embroidery.
Not that I'm defending these other children's actions by any means, but some kids have a very cut and dried sense of their faith. Either you do or you don't, and if you do, you go to heaven, and if you don't you go to hell. I don't think that kids can understand the larger, intricate concepts of the Christian faith. Heck, I'm coming up on thirty and I know that I don't understand just the tip if it all, you know? That being said, I think th
Out here in Wyoming, there is a huge energy boom going on right now. Gas pipeline is being laid all over the place, going from here to there and everywhere (wish I had a map...not sure exactly where its going to / coming from). People aren't sure how long the boom will last for. It seems many of the towns go through booms out here. But as I think about it...Im not
stran... I feel the same way about my own breasts. It's not that they're not large enough, because they probably are, its just that they're weird shaped I think. There's enough there, but bras don't fit right, even if they're the right size, because the shape of them is so different. Hopefully having babies and nursing will change that a little. I know they won't be as "perky" as they are right now, if you can call them that at all
Zigs here, I had posted fair warning, Ziggy, that ANY commentary from you (or Marcie) on that thread would be deleted, and that neither of you are welcome on my blog, so why are you sitting here crying about it now? Don't blame me if your reading comprehension sucks to the point that you cannot understand a simple sente
Charles... Unfortunately it's going to be a short movie. Sorry to disappoint. You're a liar, Sabrina, and I think you might have a tad bit of dementia, too, because AGAIN, like I said, you have Ry's employment history screwed up beyond belief. But you don't seem to care that your facts are all wrong, not that I would expect you to. It serves your purposes to be wrong, so it's all right. Honestly, you're not worth talking t
Note to Ziggy...YOU AREN'T A TEACHER. You have a teaching degree, yes. You taught one school year and were not invited to return. You then worked as a PARA-Educator, (at a different school) supervising in-school detentions. You were not invited back the following year. You then stacked boxes at
There are good teachers, and there are bad teachers. In public, private, religious, and Montessori schools. And in home schools as well. I agree with you Angela, that it's best that kids get one on one attention and have opportunities for self-directed learning. It's my job to teach facts and theories and let parents do the "moral" teaching at home. If kids have a question about religion, or relationships, etc., I tell them that is somethi

I'm so glad that your first day went well. I hope that your coursework becomes a little more challenging for you. It's so weird to have to take coursework in something that you're probably already perfectly capable to do. But...it's a stop on your way to your RN goal, too. Oh, K....I'm so excited for you. And I'm so proud of you! (I hope that's not condescending...I don't mean it to be.) I think it takes lots of guts to chase your dreams
Have you ever seen him in concert? I saw him when the fishing song first came out. He had a boat and fishing poles on stage. He puts on a pretty good show.
I love Brad Paisley. I went and bought "5th Gear" the day it came out, and "Online" caught my ears right away. I love the marching band at the end. I think I like this song because it's me, too. Go Brad!
I forgot about Magic Erasers! Maybe we can use those to clean instead of paint. I'm all about bleach, too. I love the smell--it's just the "ultimate clean. I like your ideas about the gel car fresheners, too! So smart you are, TW! Thanks for your suggestions! I can't wait to defunk the place and get moved in.
Okay, so I totally want to know how your first day at school went! Maybe you're doing homework...
It says that the people in the church are more interested in GOD than in what everyone else is wearing. I'd rather worship with a bunch of people in jeans and T shirts than with a bunch of people in suits and dresses. In my experience, the ones who dress to the nines and who are worried about how they look in church are pharisees (or at least have pharisee-like behaviour). The people who REALLY had a genuine, sincere connection with their god and who were in church to
K, you're going to be GREAT. This is what you were MEANT to do. This is your calling. You might be late (it's the first day, no big deal), you might get lost, but I don't think you'll have any problems fitting in. It's going to be different, but I bet after this first week, it'll be old hat. I'm so excited for you. If I were there, we could do the girly squeal and jump around and hug deal....lol. You go, woman...knock 'em dead!
You lack the self-control to not read my blog? Hmmm...figures. Just a little FYI, I've NOTHING against large families. My father was from a family of 8, and my mother from a family of 5. I also never said anything about abortion (I'm all about other birth control methods however). If you want to feed your children beans and rice consistently, I don't really care. They're your kids, and you raise them the way you want. I don't
Good to have you back, dude!
I consider myself to be very blessed. My parents were really supportive and encouraging, and they set limits and enforced them in a befitting manner (I think, anyway...if anything they were TOO lenient). It's so hard for me to put myself into kids' shoes sometimes--especially when it comes to this. Parents act different around their kids' teachers lots of times. And kids act different when they're away from their parents. Lots of times I d
lol...yuck. Maybe if he got a haircut and didn't have such a sourpuss face? That doesn't negate a sexual assult charge, however. Blech.
I had this conversation with a co-worker one time. I must have been student teaching at the time, or doing my practicum. I had fallen in love with my students, and I said something along the exact same lines: I just can't understand how someone could mistreat a child. She told me that I couldn't possibly understand because I wasn't a parent. She told me that you never realize how close you get to that line until they're driving you absolut
Med school means LOTS of time away from family, too. I think you're going to be an AMAZING nurse! Oh goodness...I'm so excited for you! WHOOOEEEE! :)
