Tense moment with the 13 yr old I only raised my voice once and not that loud at all! He yelled enough to make my head throb.

Wow. Once we’ve trained ourselves to be short and snappy with people it certainly is difficult to not jump straight into barking mode; however, it is possible to retrain ourselves. These old dogs can still learn a few new tricks! I still slip up and am either overly firm or snappy with the teenager on things that I should be lighter about but each time I am a little less firm and less snappy or the incidence of it is more brief. And I can always analyze myself during and afterwards. Look out David Caridean! This grasshopper is growing!

Had the pleasure of helping my son practice scientific notation. Helping these kids with their homework is very pleasant as sometimes it makes the brain ache trying to remember the facts; makes you want to go to school again!

Oh my son

Life is fun

When you are seven

And there is so much to do

Let’s pay attention

When a whizzing

And make sure

We aim true

With your little hose

So close to the bowl

Try to hit the water

and not your toes!

Should there be a miss

resulting in a puddled mess

Be embarrassed not

To clean up the lot!


(in all fairness, I think it was his friend)

I’ve been contacted by an old friend! I considered him a good friend in college. He was very influential to me as well as very helpful to me personally and educationally. I was very embarassed by my collegiate demise and dropped contacts with many of the important people around me. It’s nice to run across them again.

My eyes are very tired today so the screen is hard to concentrate on. What do I do? I’ve now walked up and down the stairs 4 times trying to find my glasses which were on my face not a few minutes ago. Not only is this wearing me out, it is frustrating me to the point that I won’t be able to concentrate.

I swear as I was taking the kids to school today I said “I’m a Microsoft Partner. I need to see if they can provide me a CD with the security updates so that I can fix my friend’s computer.” That would be the friend with a dialup connection in the country that pays per minute to use AOL.

So, thanks SlickDeals.net!

Special moments with a baby February 18, 2004 10:13 am

What a pleasure it is to have a little person have a serious talk with you! My baby was chatty this morning. Granted, only 40% or less of her speech makes sense but today she was talking with long sentences and sometimes serious subjects. She would yammer on and on with these happy eyes and jovial looks then suddenly for just a sentence or two her brow would furrow and her tone would change then she’d continue with the happier parts of the story. There is no better conversation!

The convseration can be frustrating also. At one moment this morning, the 20 mth old really wanted me to understand what she was saying. She made perfect eye contact and repeated her sentence over and over. I just could not make it out. She obviously did not have signs for it either because she didn’t use her hands to help. I really wanted to understand her.

Here’s a thought for you non-parents. How does toilet training begin? This will make your head reel. The word is modeling. Let me tell you! A dog growling at you during a special moment is nothing as disturbing as a toddler handing you toilet paper!
