If Noah comes home with a large stick every time he leaves the house, how long before a neighbor complains about their dead tree? If the number of pockets increases the likelihood of hidden rocks, how many rocks will it take to hopelessly clog the washing machine AND how much noise can the dryer right […]
Bloggers and mainstream media are gnashing their teeth in frustration over the recent horrible murder of two young people. While everyone screams for the justice that won’t be found, nearly every day, the mother of one of the victims parks her car in front of the house where her daughter was abused and killed. She […]
“I just realized that this will be my very last summer vacation, ever.” After a comment like that, I feel like letting him wait until the end of summer to find a job.
I wouldn’t hire an employee over the age of 18 with a helicopter parent. Would you? That is one of the reasons I am having such a hard time with Tommy getting a job for the summer. If he is mature enough to have a job, he has to be mature enough to handle it […]

definition: A searing pain that, although centralized in the elbow, radiates all the way down to the wrist and up into the shoulder. It is not until this pain is at its’ worst that you realize it is caused by putting weight on your elbow as you read the words on your monitor. This realization […]
Both Sarah and Noah have informed me that they are doing “nothing” for these last two weeks of school. Before the end of this week, all books will be turned in and every day will be some sort of read-in or field day or play time. If school work is completed, then why not just […]
