Whenever I tell people what I do, the response tends to be, “What a tough job. I couldn’t do that. Are you scared of the kids?” and things like that. It is easy to bask in the glow of feeling somehow “tougher” than people who don’t work with kids who have attacked people, but I […]

So last night, I was lying in bed, sleepless, thinking about stuff. One of the things that came to mind is how God is outside of time, at least that is what I believe, although I’ve never been taught anything like that. This probably popped into my mind because I had read an article about […]

I’m sitting at home in bed at the moment, and found a link to some fun
quizzes. I don’t feel like Superwoman right now, but maybe I am. After all, I managed to get Sage all ready for school, making breakfast and lunch included, with the evil stomach virus, my current villain. I’m sure I’ll whoop […]

I hate to even think it, but I think I have the stomach crap that’s been going around. I was nauseaus a couple of weeks ago, but it went away, and I concluded that I’d fought it off. Then last weekend, poor Sage threw up for a couple of days. Everyone at work seems to […]

In Texas, you hear people bitching about immigration all of the time. Granted, it does put a strain on our social services, but people would rather blame the people coming over trying to have a better life before looking at our own policies. I read this article, Why Mexico’s Small Corn Farmers Go Hungry, in […]

I am just fooling myself if I think that my job doesn’t have anything to do with my state of mind. Yeah, there are some good days, and days when I see the value of my being there. Today, one of my 15 year old boys was in a state of panic because his 14 […]

So yesterday afternoon, Sage announced that since he was a cat, he would be eating the cat food. He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye to gauge my reaction.
“Sure,” I said. “That makes sense. Cat food is good for you. You can try some when you get home, and if […]

I’m almost finished reading The Poisonwood Bible. That book has freaked me out entirely. One of the reasons is that I grew up in a similar fundamentalist environment. It was creepy reading about it, and I didn’t understand why all the characters weren’t stark raving mad at the end, like I sometimes feel. I’m very […]

A work friend whose family owns a furniture store was recently ecstatic because the commercial was made in her house, featuring her kids jumping on the bed and couches. It occurred to me that even having a store in a small town isn’t quite enough to drive sales, you still need to engage in some […]
