I admitted on Twitter this morning that I don’t get the uproar that was heard in the Mommy Blogging community over yesterday’s interview, on the Today show, between Kathie Lee Gifford, her co-host Hoda Kotb and Heather Armstrong of Dooce.com. (The full clip can be see here. An abbreviated clip can be seen here.) The [...]
I started tutoring a student at Brentwood High School in math. This student is a bright person who is active at school, extra-curriculars, and takes honors classes when possible. Not someone I would describe as lazy.
Since this was my first time tutoring this student, we went over their current assignments, that night’s homework, and then looked through [...]
Last summer my mom bought the GMan a pair of Crocs. They quickly became his shoe of choice (mine as well) because he could put them on all by himself and we all know how important that can be during toddlerhood! He wore them through the summer and into the fall and winter (with socks [...]
I am watching the local news this morning. The news crawler at the bottom of the screen states, “this has been the coldest winter in the United States since 2001 according to scientists at the national climactic data center”.

Update at the end of post.
Late last week I was perusing our family calendar to familiarize myself with what was coming up this week. I saw that school pictures for JBelle were on the calendar and I sighed to myself thinking, “Hmmm…should she wear the red or pink polo shirt to school that day?” Because, [...]
…but seriously, if you want any further reason why I loathe the SSA so much. Go here.
(Read Disclaimer at end) It was bad enough that Forest Hills forced our church to move when it would not allow us to tastefully expand our building. A church that had been located on that land longer than the city had been in existence and had assembled in the immediate vicinity for worship for [...]
My good friend Sheryl has a post up from an article out of USA Today. It’s a top 25 list of things that have seemingly “disappeared” over the past twenty-five years. I chuckled at things like typwriters, Betamax, vinyl records, New Coke, etc., but when I got to #15 my amusement was abatted:
15 Civility
