I had a piano teacher suck all of the joy out of my daughters playing because she felt the child was "disobedient". She asked too many questions, did not sit up straight, and forget concepts she hadn't applied lately. She actually demanded that I take my child home and SPANK her so she would perform better. I wanted to spank the teacher. It took three years, including one year off, before she began to enjoy playing the piano again.

Food for Thought: The Congressional Food Stamp Challenge - Blog Entry

I spend about $40.00 per person a week on groceries, but I buy organic and that includes non food items. So maybe I spend closer to $30.00 per person a week. When I had had to, I have spent $80.00 a week on the four of us... even when we had babies in diapers. (I breastfed and washed cloth diapers myself).

I think those on assistance do need help economizing. Those not on assistance certainly have to.

I had a younger sibling who was a bully, and no matter how I tried... having had been bullied myself, there was no getting throught to him.. Mom, of course stuck her head in the sand. Looking back, it was a defense mechanism because he was taunted in earlier years because of his size. Hurt people, hurt people.

It is amazing to me how people get annoyed when others don't fit neatly into their alloted space.

Creating an Office in Your Closet - Blog Entry

When my kids were babies, we had to move our home office into the coat closet as the kids needed the spare bedroom. We did something very similar, but since the closet was very wide, we kept the doors on and were able to shut the closet door when not in use to keep the kiddies off the computer equipment.

No, it was far... at least a mile, but back then, I could walk a mile in 20 minutes. It also kept me slim!
