One Minute Is A Long Time

November 6, 2008
By

I am posting here in response to a giveaway on MommyBloggers. The question was about what my family could do in a minute to change the world. Hands down…my first thought was that we could say “hello” or “good evening” to every person we saw in that minute. I don’t care who you are,...

McCain or Obama = Free Coffee

November 4, 2008
By

I’m not about to open up a political can of worms. Not gonna let that happen. I won’t be telling you who to vote for or who I will be voting for. Everyone should have the right to form their own opinion and vote their conscience. Even though I am not exactly “comment heavy”...

Question: Should 12-Year Olds Watch PG-13 Movies?

My 12-year-old daughter wanted to see The House Bunny. Let me back up a bit… I didn’t know she wanted to see it until she told me a group of friends saw the movie over the weekend. I immediately went in to “why was my child excluded mode?” I know, I know not my...

What Is It About Facebook, Anyway?

October 13, 2008
By

I am late entrant to the Facebook world. Had heard about it. Did not want to join. Joined Friends reunited instead…so that I could get reacquainted with friends. Soon discovered that Friends required a monthly fee. Realized I did not need to get together with friends that badly. Towards the end of the summer...

My Family Needs a Mission Statement–STAT

September 2, 2008
By

I left this as a comment on a blog I discovered through twitter.com. The poster was feeling down about a messy house. I know a messy house. I tried to sympathize with her that once her children got older she could do something about her house. Do that all over spring clean. Purge those...

The day has finally arrived… Tomorrow we meet my son’s kindergarten teacher. I am officially ready for him to go. I know that sounds harsh, but in the words of a wise friend “I have given him the best 5 years, and now he needs to go to school.” Now don’t get me wrong,...

Back in the swing of things

March 5, 2008
By

I think I may have solved–temporarily–my time management problems. I have this problem with multitasking. I am either a full-time stay-at-home mom or I am a part-time graduate student. Now when I am a grad student, I still have all the mom responsibilities. I just have a harder time completing mundane things like laundry...
