All three of the children working at the table erupted into chaos and war. Tommy needed help and Sarah reluctantly offered her calculator but only if he used it according to her rules. Within seconds they were screaming at each other. I sent them both out front to calm down. This was much more effective […]

When Doug took Noah to school he found out that Noah was the target of some teasing during lunch. Noah sat and cried because the boys were calling him a “Barbie lover” and a “pink tighties wearer” and a “diaper baby”. Further explanation here.

Goals for the weekend: 1. Make it through Thinking Day 2. Get my logo on the blog and at cafepress.com

Wasted an hour reading e-mail and blogs. Now I must get serious about the Thinking Day display. It’s like being in elementary school again with a big project that you’ve ignored but my parents aren’t going to stay up all night doing it for me.

Lots to be done but no desire to do anything. Overwhelmed and unmotivated.
