How annoying a ride this has been just to get the kids in there. For home schoolers, NYS requires a Notice of Intent sent to the school board by July 1. An “IHIP” or basically a curriculum in within six weeks of the Notice of Intent, quarter reports with samples of work handed in each… Continue reading First Day of Real School Part 1-The Prep

16 Weeks and 5 Days
If someone wants to give me lessons on the art of self-portraiture, I’m all ears…or eyes. Until this, this is as good as it gets. 🙂
A Very Rare Occurrence
I am home alone for the long weekend. My husband took the kids to visit my MIL. He offered to leave me to get a break, especially from the nursling I have been trying to wean with no luck, but at first I blew him off. First they are stopping in the Bronx to visit… Continue reading A Very Rare Occurrence
I Think My Children Saved Me
Many members of my family have “issues” (like every other family), and of course gossip stems from these various issues (although I guarantee these days I am the source of plenty of fodder-actually I know I am as I stumbled in a conversation about me and “all those kids”, but that’s another story). One common… Continue reading I Think My Children Saved Me
Can Someone Make Me a T-shirt (maternity of course)

Bree’s family owns a drive-in where Dree works the weekends. Since they work late into the night, Dree often ends up… Continue reading Rosey Posey’s Mother Is Strange
Yeah, yeah, I don’t get it
This past weekend we revealed to the last of the four parents that we are expecting again, which was met with the usual-absolute anger and disgust. My father-in-law who happily admits he wanted his son aborted is angry. Whatever. I want a new family. Well, that’s done with. All parents and grandparents down. Not a… Continue reading Yeah, yeah, I don’t get it
Warning: Don’t Try This At Home
Trying to be fun and creative while pregnant. I am almost sure my morning sickness is starting to abate…finally! I no longer experience sea sickness from trying to concentrate on things like books, or sewing. I have been able to do my daily minimum of three loads each day. Although don’t ask me to plan… Continue reading Warning: Don’t Try This At Home
