This is going to be a taxing weekend. I get out of work early to eat dinner with Jessica’s family (who recently joked that I might as well call them in-laws – you can draw whatever conclusion you wish from that remark) prior to her graduation ceremony from Bates (technical school) where she is [...]

A few days ago, we discussed how parents are discouraged from using physical means to keep their children in line. The days when you can spank your OWN child for acting a fool might be behind us if we don’t do something to turn the tide. There was a proposal in a California city (of all places) to punish parents who spank their children.
One person spoke of a time when her child was acting a fool – she swatted him once on the behind to keep him in line. Family members present at the incident chastised the individual and claimed that it was abuse.
Another individual spoke about children carrying on in public places with exasperated parents doing nothing to quell the noise.

It has been brought to my attention that my readers were growing old of my once in a while posts and need more of me. Well, who doesn’t want more of me? I’m fabulous. Anyway, the reason I have been lack on the writing is that there is not much going on in my [...]

This Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving in two years that I have been able to spend with my family. Don’t get me wrong, because last year I was lucky enough to have friends whom invited me to spend it with them and their family. This year, at 5:50am Leanne, Jeff, Kayla, John and I [...]
