G taught me a good lesson in life over the weekend past...wish I could do this, even half as efficiently... que paso'? ...Well pull up a chair! On Sat. we went to the State Fair.... (side note - it did not seem there were as many "What about that Guys?" in evidence...giving me brief pause to reflect on whether I was myself becoming one of the "What about that guys?"...but at least I did not wear socks with my sandals!) Anyway...on Sunday, after tromping around the KFEC all day Saturday...we slept late and took it easy... about midafternoon, I was upstairs putting away some laund ... more

Well it's getting to be that time of year. I got Jonalynn enrolled in a local Head Start program for pre K!! She will be going 3 daze a week for 4 hours at a time. Part of the benefit of Head Start is that it's FREE!! But the program does require that at least one of the parents volunteer at the school as either a classroom helper or in the kitchen. I am gonna be a classroom helper. I don't wanna be stuck in the kitchen cookin for a ton of ppl and kids and have the clean up too!! LOL. Jona is really excited and calls PRE K her big kid school!! I am going to try and volunteer 2 daze a week a ... more

I work with younger adolescents (ages 10-14). I love the fact that my days are different and hold the unexpected but some days are a little more unusual than others. After this Friday, for example, I am trying to decide whether I ought to keep a journal for a couple of years and them compile the stories into a book tentatively entitled, "From Boobs to Boogers: The Curious Work of a Middle School Counselor". I figure not only would other educators find it amusing but parents might read it just to see if their kid is doing "normal" middle school stuff. Friday was fun. I started off my day ... more

After this, I go into his classroom....he is sitting all alone at his little desk and because he is th ... more

The night before the first day of school. The children were restless, excited about the new experiences of 4th grade and Middle School. They packed their backpacks with school supplies. Logan laid his clothes out; shirt, pants, belt, socks, shoes, all laid out as if he were lying flat on the floor. “Make sure you set your alarm earlier, Mama.” Logan requests. He has his alarm set, but wants to make sure I get up as well as I've planned to walk him to school. Noah is struggling with his brother leaving him. “Tell me goodbye in the morning, Logan.” Noah requests. It's his first year of ... more

Today, after getting up from a nap, while sitting on the couch and sipping iced coffee, my little princess M looks at me and with her chin in her chest sternly says, "He got my paci". I looked up, and on the tele was a Santa in some sort of commercial. My husband burst out in laughter. I was clueless for a second, but then realized what she was talking about... Christmas last year we decided it was time to get rid of the pacifier/paci. So we told her she had to hang the paci on the tree and Santa would come get it and leave her presents. Here it is 8 months later and she is still ticked at S ... more

i want the bus driver's head on a silver platter. i am the salomei of mothers. but i have a good reason. jcps lost my kid today. yes, LOST. when it came time to go home they put him on the wrong bus. yep. you see he is part of the magnet program, so his bus doesn't just take him to school. it takes him to a depot where he boards a second bus which will take him to his school, and reverse for going home. when his bus finally came AT 5:15 he didn't get off of it. i went to speak to the bus driver about where he was. in hysterical tears. my kid is only 5. he (bus-driver) was very non ... more

These past few weeks, I feel as though I've been 'mothering' my mama. Since her stroke, she's not been wanting to eat much since all her food has had to be pureed and her liquids thickened as not to choke her. I can't blame her. But, knowing she needs to eat to regain strength, I've had to be stern with her and feed her when she's been too tired or too stubborn to feed herself. It's not a burden and I am not complaining. It's just a very odd turn in my life. Well, hers too, I am sure. Since she had surgery today, she had to be catheterized again and she's not going to be happy when she b ... more

Week 21: What does a baby dream about in the womb? This intriguing question arises in the coming weeks as your baby's sleep patterns begin to emerge (though, according to most research, dreaming may not begin until around week 28). When is your little one snoozing? You might be able to tell if her movements show a marked slow-down at certain times of the day. Some scientists suggest that your eating and sleeping habits and the levels of light and noise around you function as signals and help baby set her internal clock to match the outside world's even before birth. At this point in its de ... more
