Meme Coming At Ya.

So, The Girl from the Ghetto, my new blogging pal, tagged me to do this meme.  I will try my damndest to be interesting in these six questions if not in general.
1. I wish I had finished school and had a degree in something, anything.  My work is actually fine and interesting enough but at 33 [...]

They Deserve Better.

Speak to me oh master of the stars, (or as you may know them, Yahoo Horoscopes).
Seriously this is mine for today.  After the way things in my life have been going, there couldn’t have been any more fitting advice from any source possible!
    
You can try to teach someone who’s rigid to be more flexible, [...]

Hively Isn’t Behind.

Just a quick update on the Friday AM meeting.
1.  He isn’t behind.  He is just not as advanced as he should be.                                                                   2.  He will be kept in the office and miss recess or a special if he has wasted his in class worktime.  Much better option than bringing all the unfinished work home.  And [...]

My Punishment.

I have figured it out!
She is punishing me for being a bad parent!
Who?  The first grade teacher of course!

I just remembered this conversation from about a week ago.
He said, “Mommy, she wouldn’t let me put that my [...]

Burnt.

So you can be burnt in many ways (as a human, as toast there is only one way heehee).  I have probably been through them all and survived no worse for the wear.  Burnt by another person as in when your unfaithful spouse abandons you with 2 babies to raise on your own.  Burnt by [...]

Birth and Death, all in one day.

I had the pleasure of scaling the gamut today.  I was informed as I awoke that The Greek Goddess was in labor, at the hospital and trying to have her new baby.  I then went to the funeral for the grandmother of one of my oldest and dearest friends.  It was such a lovely service.  [...]

He WAS Him

We had a Boy Scout Pack Meeting last night.  I swear we could just let Hively and Pablo play together for 2 hours on the 1st Monday of each month and they would be just as happy.  And us adults could have a drink and talk out loud.  I think this sounds better than talking [...]

Red goes away…..then comes back

So Red went to Indy for a weekend trip with my sister and her family (2 teen cousins).  She had a ball!  My Red has always been a Tom-Boy and I worry about her dad/man relationship issues, ALOT!  On the way home she shopped with them.  She had so much fun and I received a [...]
