I told myself when I just started this blog that I would stay as far away as possible from anything that would bring to the fore anything that was going on in my personal life as it relates to the “parenting apart” process.  I do not like to wash my dirty laundry in public, especiallyContinue reading “Miss Meddle”

Within the ambits of my adult friend and company circle, I am quite verbose and uninhibited about my beliefs/acceptance of others and the choices that we make concerning who we chose to “love”.  But, I must admit that within my parenting confines, I do struggle to explain to my daughter why men and women areContinue reading “Happy and Gay!”

So I was packing for my daughter’s weekend away from me; and if you know me, you know that I am a stickler for packing all that is needed in preparation for eventuality.  Well I know she would only be gone from Friday to Sunday, but you never know… right? Well, so there I wasContinue reading “Extra… but in a good way!”

My daughter enjoys when her hair is being washed and really doesn’t like when her hair is dirty.  in fact, there are times when she will insist that I wash it on days when it is not yet time to do so – she REALLY loves the end product.

My daughter has been going through a lot of changes lately; changes which affect her in many different ways – emotionally and physically – growing pains and then some. Added to that, there is the pressure of being in a class with very unkind 8 year olds, who at such early ages/stages, have mastered the artContinue reading “Are bullies born or created?”
