From the monthly archives: March 2007
We spent last Sunday, the first Sunday of Spring hanging out in the back yard, roasting veggie dogs (Mercury Man had meat-dogs!!) till it got dark: Here I am, chilling. It was a beautiful day, really crisp still but the sun was warm and bright. I still needed a jacket! i-bop ran in and out [...]
Just musing on this today as I contemplate my invite list for our annual Spring Party. I won’t invite my family…because my nerves just can’t take them right now. There, I said it, any family members reading this you can go and report back to headquarters. I can’t take it, not at my Happy Spring [...]
This goal is going to be very hard, which makes me feel…kinda sad. I am such a go-getter and can-do person and blah blah blah, but why must I have something scheduled to do every single day? It actually makes me feel kinda panicky to have an open day. I’m having a party on April [...]
I’m a member of a few online communities and I need to cut back. I think this will help me to be more productive in my work. I used to think I didn’t spend that much time on message boards, visiting blogs, etc. but just for one site alone I was spending about 15 minutes [...]
The youth had no prior arrest record, and the hall monitor–a 58-year-old teacher’s aide–was not seriously injured. But Shaquanda was tried in March 2006 in the town’s juvenile court, convicted of “assault on a public servant” and sentenced by Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville to prison for up to 7 years, until she turns 21.Read [...]
After last year’s crashing and burning of MamaGathering I held back to see if anyone else wanted to get the ball rolling for this year…so far nada. So since it is now March 2007 I say we get organized! If someone wants to host one in another city that is A-Ok by me; I would [...]
My son Todd as Albert Einstein. He is in 3rd grade and his class did a presentation of famous people who made contributions to the world. Each kid did a trifold with info on their person, and they had to pretend to be wax statues of the person. Then when you walked up to them [...]
The deadline for submitting a workshop proposal for the 2007 Allied Media Conference has been extended to March 23rd! I am submitting a workshop proposal and was thinking about doing a panel discussion. Would any of you be interested in doing this with me? I find doing a panel discussion a little easier than conducting [...]
Read on Screaming Into the Void:————————————————————————————“And you say that, because we believe in women’s rights but think it’s morally dubious for a woman to abort a healthy pregnancy when she’s six months along, we’re not feminists? Then what, pray tell, are we?“ Apologists. There is no “tightrope” between a woman’s rights and a “fetus’ rights”. [...]
I am all about my kids. I have been a mother since before I was an adult. I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 16 right before my senior year of high school started (I skipped a grade in elementary), and I was 17 when she was born a month before I graduated [...]
This week I am re-reading Othello by William Shakespeare. Everytime I read Shakespeare I am astounded by his way with words. This is one of the best tragedies written in this fashion I have ever read; I think some of the earlier work of Euripedes is better. Worlds of Pain by Lillian Breslow Rubin, it’s [...]
Remember my post last week about forgiving Mercury Man? I am almost 100% over being upset with him. I am not sure I will ever be completely over it, it’s one of those things where I can forgive but not forget. and I have a long, long memory. Anyway in my last post I put [...]
One of my sisters has gone back to a destructive relationship. I don’t know what to do. I know there is nothing I can do, but I still feel like there is something, anything, some word or phrase I can say that will show her she is worth so much more than this. She is [...]
I wonder if this is real, on the ‘read more’ site it doesn’t include any more info:————————————————————————————This family refused to be bought out by developers, even though all of their neighbors sold. That didn’t stop the bulldozers. This is the funniest photo I’ve seen in a long time.read more | digg story———————————————————————————– Real or no [...]
I have been having a difficult time with Mercury Man this week…I won’t go into details but what he did was really bad and he messed up Big Time. Just being an all around a-hole caveman pig. There must be something going around because a lot of my friend’s husbands/boyfriends are acting the fool too. [...]
Women’s shelters in the U.S. go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly, and, while agencies generally assist with everyday necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, this most basic need is often overlooked. You and I may take our monthly trips down the feminine care aisle for granted, but, for women in shelters, [...]
This week I’m reading: You Grow Girl by Gayla Trail Emerald Magic by Jacqueline Carey Re-reading Paradise by Toni Morrision The Publishing Game: Bestseller in 30 Days by Fern Reiss and Absolution Gap by Alistair Reynolds
I met with the teacher and principal and asst. principal yesterday, it went well. Mercury Man couldn’t come as he had an emergency meeting at his own school (he is a special ed. teacher, this year his class is emotionally disturbed students). The teacher apologized without trying to explain it again with the comments, and [...]
Yesterday in one of my daughter’s classes her teacher said she wanted to find a black man to have black babies with because ‘they are so cute’. She then singled my daughter out, the only black person in the class, to ask her if she agreed with her. I-bop said she tried to be non-comittal [...]
