Awesome! My daughter will love this Michele! She's a fanatic about all things Japan lately. I've been looking for a map to put up on her wall as she studies more and more about Japan.

Black Cats and Halloween - Blog Entry

29 Oct 2006 07:40 AM

Great Blog Michele, I have two black cats and I remember when I was in junior high, I competed in extemporaneous speaking and I picked why are people afraid of black cats. It was a great time because I had everyone laughing as I described Farmer Bob was having a bad day when a black cat who was moseying along startled his horse and caused the cart to upset .... ahh fond memories.

Excellent points, Sherry. I actually hadn't considered the problem for other states with regard to the residency requirements. It will definitely be worth watching over the next few months.

Actually, it doesn't surprise me. They take great pride in going as far and as rudely as they can -- it's among the reasons why I've never watched or supported it in anyway -- it's not liberal to be crass and disgusting.

The best thing I heard Michael J. Fox say was when he was talking to Katie Couric about his adds -- Disease is a nonpartisan problem that requires a bipartisan solution. He's absolutely right.

I'm Disney Selective - Blog Entry

Thanks for the responses. Actually, what I got from Grace on this is that she doesn't want all the toys, the clothes, the bed clothes, the house decorations and the vacations all themed or planned around Disney -- I have to admit, we've got a heavy Disney saturation and I don't think it hurts my daughter's imagination but I guess from the outside, where Grace stands on it, she does see it as limiting. But thanks for the great comments!

What Happened to the Good Old Days in School? - Blog Entry

19 Oct 2006 08:57 AM

I wanted to take a moment to share that I have the teacher's back 100% of the time. Whenever she gets an "Orange" day which means she got a 10 minute time out and a note sent home to me -- it gets addressed at home and there are consequences at home. Most recently, she got in trouble for constantly interrupting the teacher -- so she had to write 10 times I will not talk when my teacher is talking -- and now she counts to ten mentally after saying excuse me or raising her hand -- so that she can wait to be called on. It's taking a lot of time and a lot of patience -- but it's paying off

School- Imposed Nap Tme For Kindergarteners - Blog Entry

16 Oct 2006 11:06 AM

I hate that our school only has a 30 minute rest time that gets sliced for recess and other stuff. My daughter used to nap 2 hours a day regularly, now I can't get her to nap on weekends because of it -- still, it just means an earlier bed time, but kids need a lot of rest -- and yes, even at the age of 5 -- they NEED it

What Are The Chances? The Shared Birthday Phenomenon - Blog Entry

15 Oct 2006 08:05 AM

My sister-in-law's son was born on her birthday. It was so wild the day it happened -- and I remember I was one of the only people who REMEMBERED that it was her birthday at the time too.
