School Days?
Ugh-The stomach but won't leave us alone,although it did get my 7 yr old out of a dentist appointment and she (and I) are both happy about that. The day has to begin here, although all but one of my bats is still asleep. I have to admit, we laughed last night, when thinking of all the students who...

Freedom
We find that in the midst of our freedom, we still are not free enough. 4 day Literature tests steal my children's love of reading. Math tests that try to trick them, keep them from learning the math that really matters, works of art that must be done according to the requirements of "those in...

A Wonderful Meal
My 15 yr old daughter made a wonderful dinner tonight. Fried chicken, dipped in herbs, scalloped potatoes made from scratch, corn and home made banana bread. It was wonderful. I am blessed. Of course there had to be a "hitch". My 9 yr old son, Sam, just would not try the potatoes due to the fact...
