That was so awesome that they unknowingly taught that woman a lesson. And you are very patient. When I haul four kids in the grocery store, my irritation level is already high! I know I wouldn't be anywhere near the example you were. What SHOULD Kids Call Their Parents & Grandparents? - Blog Entry23 Oct 2007 09:28 AM My kids call my MIL "grandmommy". She started off as 'grandma' and then it morphed from there. Stop Overreacting to the NEA Resolution - Blog Entry22 Oct 2007 06:45 PM I totally agree about online petitions, and love your last line about a blank piece of paper! LOL! Educational Neglect due to Homeschooling? - Blog Entry18 Oct 2007 05:48 PM I can't even come up with a discernable comment, except to say, what a pile of horse manure! There are just too many absurdities in this situation to touch on. Thanks for passing on the news, Michele! The Day After the Bad Day - Blog Entry18 Oct 2007 05:42 PM Val, thanks. It's nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one with bad days! Your "starting situation" with the dime a dozen sounds like mine now, but with just one baby instead of two! LOL. Thanks for the encouraging blog! 10 Ways to Spend Fun Money - Blog Entry17 Oct 2007 04:51 PM I like the combination of #s 5 and 6. LOL. I'm with you on the book and the chocolate, and the eating out. I also like to pick up little inexpensive gifts with mine. But mostly chocolate. Primary Time: My Child Won't Go to Nursery! - Blog Entry17 Oct 2007 04:49 PM Make sure you check with the leader about how your child responds after you leave, as well. I was in nursery for a year, and while some kids were in total meltdown the whole time, others were fine once Mommy or Daddy walked out the door. Also, we learned with our third that it depended on who dropped him off. He would leave me in a heartbeat, but if Daddy took him to class, he would meltdown and not want to leave him. So sometimes a changeup helps. (It doesn't help Mommy feel happy, LOL, but it helps.) National Lunch Association Says "You Can't Eat That Way" - Blog Entry15 Oct 2007 06:53 PM ROTFL! Another great spoof, Valorie! Sea Monkeys and Teaching the Scientific Method - Blog Entry10 Oct 2007 06:27 PM Thanks! My kids are really wanting a pet but I'm not quite ready to add the load. Maybe some cool sea monkeys will fill the niche - and help out a bit with some science! (By the way, proof I'm a nerd: I'm off to the library website to see if they have any books on sea monkeys for my kids!) Keeping Track of Attendance: What Does and Doesn't Count as 'School'? - Blog Entry06 Oct 2007 07:29 PM Maybe you can take a 2 hour lunch break, Val! Just kidding. I think you are right about the 'fudging' part; it's an integrity issue. Hmm, could you count a discussion with your children on why we don't fudge into your hours... maybe you can come up with a project! :D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 |
