The Night Prowler
-
We moved into a new home in the middle of June. Actually, it is a townhome, so we do share our backyard with another property. We have found it to be very comfortable and cozy and have really been enjoying it. About one week after moving in, I started to hear something brush across the outer wall of... Read More...

A courthouse in Atlanta, had been broken into by an intruder that they had a hard time getting rid of. This intruder baffled the minds of many who worked there and wreaked havoc on their offices, leaving behind messes of all sorts.

Kicked Out of School
-
I took my 5 year old to school to begin her kindergarten year on Monday. She really enjoys being at school with the big kids, it is so much more exciting for her than pre-school. I guess I am the one having the problem letting go. Wanting to hover around her and make sure she knows to line up when the... Read More...

Back to School Shopping
-
Being a parent is a lot of fun. However, I must say that for those of you who have chosen not to have children, you sure are saving tons of money. I love blogs like this so that I can vent about things that just don't seem to make any sense. We had to go shopping for the kids to go back to school... Read More...

What in the World Happened?
-
Things have changed so much since I was a young girl. We used to be able to come home from school and have mom at home to greet us. A reasonable amount of homework meant that we still had plenty of time to go out and play until it got dark without mom and dad worrying about where we were. On weekends... Read More...

We Need More Positive Media
-
I enjoy reading the news online. Being able to keep up with current events by reading a brief summary of what is going on as opposed to picking up the newspaper and having to read a page bigger than me (or at least, than a convenient magazine), definitely has it's advantages. I can learn what is... Read More...

School vs. Home School
-
Many mothers that I know, who are now facing the reality of sending their cute little preschoolers to kindergarten, are considering home schooling their children. Their was a meeting at one of the local library branches to discuss the benefits of home school and the resources available. I am not sure... Read More...

"Oh, My Nose!"
-
(This one is dedicated to: Marcia Brady) My little 5 year old seems to have a great tolerance for pain. Because of this, she is not as likely to be careful not to hurt herself, because it really doesn't hurt (I guess). She cut her nose playing in our kitchen months ago. The cut was so bad we had...

The Final Chapter: The Kids and the Car
-
Well, all is well. They have gotten the driver's insurance company to pay for the damages to my car. I can now take it to the body shop and not pay out of pocket for the repairs. No, he was not charged with hit and run, but at least I am not paying for this. I do hope this makes him realize he must... Read More...

Storm Disasters
-
Our area had severe thunderstorms last night. Frequent lightning flashes and scary crackling thunder made us grateful to be indoors and safe, hoping as many as possible were indoors too. Today, I heard a commercial on the radio about hurricane preparedness (or lack thereof). A family who had gone almost... Read More...

The Joy of Moving
-
Our family had to move last weekend and it was quite a job. We began packing boxes 2 weeks in advance and still had several items to box on moving day. Anything from dishes in the dishwasher and drain, to knick knacks on the kitchen counters. Finding a place to put everything in our new home was much... Read More...

The Best Toys
-
It is so interesting to find that children really are not that interested in toys. Yes, they are made specifically for children and most of them have beautiful, bright, eye-catching colors, however in doing a little asking around, it seems that they would rather play with plain cardboard boxes or make...

The Fever is gone - on to other things
-
Well, I believe most of the sickness in our house is over and done with (this go 'round). Everyone is back to school and work and doing fine. Now we are about to go into the summer--lots of time off from school with almost nothing to do. I am furiously looking into summer activities/camps to see... Read More...

Fevers
-
I had to pick up my little 4 year old from school today, she had a fever. I thought she had one this morning before school, but could not find the thermometer and so took the chance that she was just being a little fussier than normal. She did feel hot to the touch, so who knows why I ignored that. I... Read More...

Update: The Kids and The Car
-
I received a call from the police department. They were following up on the accident we had at school and are asking for an estimate of the damage done to my care. They said that they "are looking at the guy" that hit my car. Is he in custody? Well, no, because I have seen him twice at the... Read More...
