Last night was our children’s Holiday program. They go to a very small school - one classroom per grade, about 12 kids per class. Each year they do 2 plays interspersed with music. They group the K-2 kids and the 3-6 kids. Last year’s program ran so long that by the end all you could […]

Schoolyard Crushes

My 9 yo son is writing a restraining order against a girl in his class. Seems she’s been bugging him every day at recess. You know, following him around everywhere and “harassing” him.
The funniest part?
He’s had a crush on this girl since Kindergarten. But says he doesn’t like her anymore. And he’s saving himself for […]

WTF?

Silent Agreement

December 5, 2005 | 5 Comments

*Whew* Where have I been? Busy and laying low, thinking a bit. The other night someone very close to me engaged in an activity that they had been a part of quite a bit in the past but had all but stopped a few months ago. The behavior was destructive and one I could not […]

What To Do

December 1, 2005 | 10 Comments

So what do you do when someone you love does something so disappointing that you are just shocked and numb? How do you deal? How do you not feel like everything that was going so well can’t anymore? I’m just at a loss tonight.
