Thanks for visiting!I got an email from my dad today linking me to his new website, which features his theological writings and a fairly detailed bio accompanied by a photo that I took. For obvious reasons, I don’t feel comfortable linking […]

I am stumped.
I have an additional job now, doing homebound tutoring after school. I pulled up to the colorful blue and pink house without a front door and walked up and introduced myself to the girl on the steps. She invited me in. The stench was sooo bad that I almost left within the first […]

I am bitch, hear me roar.
Not really. But I did stand up effectively for a kiddo in a Manifestation Determination Hearing. This is the school district’s version of a rap song. Try saying “manifestation determination” in an rhythmic angry voice. Anyway, for those of you who don’t know what it really is, it is a […]

Cool, I’m learning my way around WordPress. If things look a little wonky, it is just me experimenting!
So what do you think? Do you ever feel guilty about spending too much money on certain items? I know I do, but it doesn’t always stop me. My spending is usually curtailed by my bank account […]

What a surprise to go to the mailbox and find a bunch of goodies yesterday from Mary, my blog friend of several years. She has been through so much, and I am touched that she thought of me and my stress-mongering self. Thank you Mary!!! Here’s a pic, although the bag of truffles is now […]

I have not left the house in the last five days other than to go grocery shopping and take Sage to daycamp. I have been camping in, snuggling up with books and rice cakes. I have not cleaned or continued to unpack. Oh well. Sage’s birthday party is Saturday, so I figure I’ll be doing […]

I am so glad it is Spring Break. I am still destressing from yesterday, and it may take a bit to complete the process. It went like this:
One of the three of us who teach the alternative high school has been in the hospital for seven working days. Since substitutes generally don’t work out very […]

1. Sage is cool. He asked me today if since plants give off oxygen, if we are receiving oxygen when we eat plants. It is a good question, really. He also got exciting realizing that if you left a watermelon on the ground to rot, you would get more watermelon plants from the seeds. This […]

This morning, after I pressed the snooze button on the alarm, I lay in bed meditating on why no one has attempted to send our beloved president to an early grave. I spent ten minutes thinking about it, and finally decided that people are too afraid of Cheney. I also pondered whether or not anyone […]

I was in the public library, quickly gathering up a few books, and I overheard two women talking. One of them was perfectly manicured and coiffed, with expensive clothes and well, the whole nine yards, probably including a wealthy husband. The other woman was pretty well put together herself, although her matching sweatsuit didn’t […]
