    My book pile has taken on a life of its own. I will need to live to 150 to get through it.

    Love the 'reading to daddy' shot... priceless.

    Congrats on the Cha Cha gig - I'd be interested to know how you like it! Are you a guide? Or a transcripter (or whatever it's called)

    I'm a ChaCha Expeditor. I don't do it very often though. Too much work for too little money!

Feeling vaguely guilty

We live in a poor rural county. Studies show that your poor rural areas, or maybe just poor areas in general, are less likely to have books in the home and less likely to encourage reading in children. Schools obviously want to combat this, especially at the preschool & kindergarten level. The kids bring a book home from the school library every day, this month is 2 at a time for a special reading program, and are often given books by the local Literacy Council, the PTO and Scholastic Books(the schools earn points to get books to give away or keep in their library). Mayhem has been given 5 since the beginning of the year. He’s being given another one today (Goldilocks) This is where the guilt comes in. Mayhem doesn’t need those books. In that same space of time the boys have checked out 17 books from the county library, in addition to the 4-5 a week from the school library and I have bought/traded for 8 more. The boys have 6 shelves stuffed with their books in the house, plus...

A letter to my son

Sweetheart, Today is your first day of kindergarten. You've been looking forward to it.  We met your teacher and saw your classroom 2 days ago. You told me she seemed nice and you couldn't wait to play with all the things in your class room. You were very excited about getting to ride on the bus this morning and when it finally came you climbed on with a quick goodbye and hardly a backward glance. My little man! So grown up already. I'm glad you are so eager & so positive about this experience.  I want this to be a happy time,something you look back on with fondness, but being Mom, I worry. I'll always worry about you. That's my job. Starting today you will now spend more time with others than you do with me and I worry. Will they be kind to you? Will they understand you? Will they patient? Will you make friends? Will they be good friends? What sort of friend will you be? Which of the myriad of influences you will be exposed to, will you pick up?   Have I ...

Check it out!

New look for the blog! I decided on a whim that I wanted tabs under my header Tuesday but Good Lord the HTML involved in that! Especially since I had pretty much created my blog template from scratch 3 years ago and have just done a bit of fiddling with the colors & things since then. I didn’t even understand my own code anymore & after a couple hours of googling, trying to sort out what the hell I had done back then I gave up on adapting tabs to it and tweeked the heck out of one of Blogger’s templates instead. Then I had to change the color scheme of all my widgets. Then, since I was being all chang-y anyway I had to make some social icon thingys for some of my links. They are over there in the upper right. I still have to update my labels..tags..whatever you call them but from a purely decorative standpoint I’m done. What do you think? Check back tomorrow for the horrors lurking in the pantry! PS. Disqus has apparently been having some server issues the p...
