Okay, here's the story. A month or so ago (my mind is truly mush), my second son, who is in 8th grade at our Jr. High, was complaining almost daily of belly aches when he came home. He would walk in the door ornery and scowling and not feeling good. I figured it was school lunch, which frequently...

I've been meaning to blog about this for two weeks, since it happened. I hope my thoughts about it come through clearly.

Well, for those of you paying attention to my various posts over the last month or so, you'll know that we've been on a bit of a roller coaster with our 13 yo ds. His homework and school habits are atrocious and that has caused no end of consternation on my part because I was always a straight A student...

Here is a poem I'm going to let my fellow classmates critique for my creative writing class.

The Fair

The smells of axel grease
And sweat
Mark the opening of the fair-
The grinding and creaking
Of carnival rides, and the
Tinkling of...

I am scared and humbled. Money is very tight. My ex is paying only 1/3 of his support right now. Don't want to loose this house. I need to buck up, quit feeling sorry for myself and just work my butt off to make more money to support myself and my children. Gonna' get my buns in school and get a...

What one individual considers a silly quirk about themselves that couldn't possibly benefit even one person usually ends up being their gift to all mankind that benefits hundreds and sometimes...
