  • Party Smart When I was a kid, we had parties on Halloween at school. That was a long time ago. Nowadays, it is considered politically insensitive to celebrate Halloween, and furthermore, parties at school are discoura…

  • Trapped! Yesterday was a typical Monday, not unlike any other. My husband came in from work about 5:30, as he always does, to a home filled with giggling children pretending to do homework while watching tv and the sme…

  • Typical weekend before Halloween I've been busy this weekend. On Friday night, I had kids going to 2 different directions. Sophia wanted to attend a pumpkin carving party put on by the church's youth ministry, and Ben…

  • H2Oh! True story: "How many atoms in a water molecule?" Sophia asked, looking up from her homework. I looked at her questioningly. The answer was easy enough; I supposed she just didn't understand what was being aske…

  • White van free zone Jim and I were on I95 north when we heard on the radio that the sniper had struck again, and they were putting roadblocks all up and down I95 north to catch him. We had hardly digested this informat…

  • From the comfort of my new home I'm still sleeping on an air mattress on the floor, and it is starting to give Jim back problems. He does okay when the mattress is completely full, but once it starts leaking, it's no g…

  • Learning about what? Tonight was the third night of religious education. After three nights, I've decided that Gordon's religious education teacher may be a litle nutty, but harmless. He knows I've got an eye on him, …

  • Nightmare in the stacks I just volunteered today to help in my youngest son's library. This is a volunteer position I am familiar with - I've volunteered in school libraries for as long as I've had children in school. …
