If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I shouldn’t complain about Sky being on probation, although you know that I will. As a result, he is now in college a year ahead of schedule, at the age of 16. He registered and started classes last week. […]

This post was inspired by Teaching And All That Jazz, although we are not at all talking about the same thing.
First of all, let me apologize. One of the reasons that I have not been posting is because my posts tend to be on the negative side. I’m pretty self-conscious about that. I am […]

This blog hasn’t had much content lately because it is difficult to write when you don’t want to be honest or lie. So, I am temporarily without words. Unless I begin a rant about Walmart. But I think you all are probably getting tired of that. Still, the book Take This Job and Ship It […]

I am noticing that more and more families in my town are living in poverty. The type of poverty that I am seeing inside the city limits was confined to pockets of dismal wooden shacks out in the country only ten years ago. Now, however, I notice a 12 x 12 outbuilding that a family […]

I wish I had pictures, because then I wouldn’t have to write the thousand words. It would be rude to take them, though. The homebound student whom I am tutoring lives in poverty. I am glad to be a witness to this, because now poverty in the US is not an abstract thing to me. […]

I can see where NWA got their attitude. Since being on the “wrong side of the law” with my son, I have had new experiences that really lead me to dislike living in Texas, and particularly in this town. If these are the sorts of experiences that the people ranting about the police have […]

I burnt my face sunbathing on Sunday, so I haven’t been wearing much make-up the past couple of days. I burnt my arms too, and today, I dressed very comfortably. In fact, I looked like I was going to the beach. I could have washed my hair this morning, but I chose to make […]

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 […]

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 […]
