Then again, I just glanced around here and noticed that I'm in good company in this knowledgenet thingy. And I'm #7 in the top ten! I've never seen my name on any top ten list before, so maybe I like this place after all : : I'm pretty sure inappropriate touchi
JoeKnowledge is just a semi-literate blogger who suckered you into joining his blog group. He's not a JU admin, just the administrator of his own site. Wow, really? How on earth did he alter the way my personal article selection process begins? I'm serious, every time I click "New Article" I'm taken to
Ha! Oh my gosh this has turned into talking about molestation. Not funny, but funny how threads take on lives of their own. We had a conference with the Pre-K teacher today. I think we're really going to enjoy this place, er, that is, my son will enjoy the school They'll have plenty of time to play with the toys, the curriculum is good, everything looks great. And as an
Oh gosh I'm reading more tidbits here and there of some comments: 1) I'll make it clear at this point that full-fledged homeschooling is probably NOT going to happen right away, if at all. Buuuut if we do eventually go the homeschooling route I hereby vow that I will not isolate my children. I envision joining forces with other homeschooling families. That would be a good route to keep a foot in the real world, with other kids & moms to keep
Jythier: That sounds like my wife, who plans on homeschooling. I'll let you know in 3 or so years how that goes. Ooh, I'd love to talk to her. We could compare hopes & worries! The Columbine thing happened 4 years before I had any children, and ever since then when I think of how my [future] children would be educated I get overwhelming butterflies in my tummy that urge, "Homeschooling!" I'm not a sensationalist-type person either...those butterflies and constant
Thank you! It turned out all right, for a free haircut in my jammies anyway.
"If I could change the world, well first I'd be capable of homeschooling, but in a perfect world homeschooling wouldn't be necessary because we'd be more community-oriented, people would work together. We wouldn't need to dump our kids into public schools either to save our own sanity, with hopes to promote theirs."...What were y
What it sounds like you really want is all the benefits of homeschooling without having to do anything yourself. Wow, what side of the bed did you wake up on? I said no such thing, perhaps your mood made you read into something that wasn't there. Your last two paragraphs were much more on targ

Another school year is upon us. Many have already started, but my 4-year-old's Pre-K is scheduled to start next week...or the week after, I can't remember. I have so many questions. 1. I've heard it said that for children, Play is Work. That's fine. It makes sense enough. They learn science by playing with sand and water. They learn roles in soci
Happy Happy Birthday AngelMarie Dear, Happy Things Will Come to You All Year, if I had one wish then it would be, a Happy Happy Birthday to you from me!::: sticks star to AngelMarie's forehead ::: : : Ooh, I love being privy to inside jokes.
You're all so kind...did anyone have to bite their tounges to keep from saying something like, "You're a terrible person!!! Get off the planet! I fear for the future of your children!" Stuff like that? Well, if so, thanks for giving us the benefit of the doubt. I really think things are going to be OK. Never perfect (after all, who's perfect?), but we'll be as happy as possible. That says a lot. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" al
Looking back over the last several years since getting married & becoming a mother...since I didn't go about those two things in a very healthy manner, I'm dazzled and pleased that things finally seem to be smoothing out. I look back at how it started and it's no wonder I was filled with self-pity and confusion. Knowing that self-pity and confusion aren'
My middle child has now decided that sister is big enough that he doesn't have to be careful around her or give her any special consideration. Gah. So the honeymoon is over, eh? Well there's nothing like a couple of older brothers to give Izzy some serious doses of reality. She'll be a tough, smart girl! Our little Michael has been really careful with April up until fairly recently. I think we're all over the "Ooh, watch out for the fragile baby
I remember a mantra like, "I must...I must...I must increase my bust!" Yeah, I don't think it works either, but isn't it cute to imagine all the insecure teenage girls around the world trying things like that? Boobs just sorta happen. And what's up with women who want to make them bigger? Gah!
YES, SHE'S AMAZING!! I've only heard of one other baby who was walking at 8 months. I know comparisons are pointless, but our li'l April who's almost 9 months old just started to crawl last week! She's also been pulling up to standing any chance she gets...I think you said Izzy was doing that a few months ago. Amazing!
P.S. I changed the title because the original one I stuck on there sounded pretty naive. It's been bugging me all these 5 days, but I rarely get a chance to spend leisure time on the comp! Beautiful article Angela! It is beautiful, i'nt it? All credit goes to Thomas S. Monson. It was
I love the analogy that God has a picture of us on his dresser! That's such a wonderful feeling! Yes, isn't that a powerful analogy? That we're still loved even if we've lost significance in everyone else's lives (i.e. if we've screwed everything up, hah. That's something I'm well acquainted with). <
I quite like the account of a religious leader who went to the side of a woman who lay dying, attempting to comfort her—but to no avail. “I am lost,” she said. “I’ve ruined my life and every life around me. There is no hope for me.” The man noticed a framed picture of a lovely girl on the dresser. “Who is this?” he asked. The woman
Sorry the quotes up there are all jacked up ...I don't know how that happened but I don't have time to fix it right now. My kids need me!!
the information / teachings whatever phrase you wish, really must be in the long term be presented as - fact, if you will - but not in such intensity that when confronted by those who do not believe, that he cant cope and become confused, if not down right hostile to it - with the declining numbers of true believers on a worrying
OMG, those are freakin' hilarious! I absolutely love them! Fantastic! Loved them. I know, aren't those HILARIOUS?! Our family watched the movies toget
Neat-o! As usual I'm totally going to change the subject. Can you tell me about that "piece of fabric" you were carrying Isabella in? It looks comfy & versatile.
