From Daddyshack yesterday…

Next week my son graduates from preschool. Yesterday he learned how to whistle. He was so proud of himself even though he is only able to puff one note for a second or two. He went to sleep last night whistling away in his bed.
This morning at breakfast he counted to 100. [...]

I tend to get pretty stressed out just from day-to-day living.
A lot of people do.
And a lot of people have high blood pressure, like I do. Some of them have developed heart trouble as well, like I have.
Several years ago, a trusted advisor provided me with some really great advice about reducing stress. One of [...]

Teaching your kids to enjoy the simple things in life is so important: Stopping to smell the roses is one thing; helping someone else smell them is sometimes even more fun. My husband has done some traveling for work in the past and I have been on a couple of trips without the family (to [...]

Yesterday, I had finished shopping at Wal-Mart with the kiddos, and I was naturally tired and frazzled. Four kids at Wal-Mart will do that to you, let me tell ya.

I tried weighing myself a little differently this week. I did it like the cartoon picture shows. It worked great, too! I weighed in at 23.5 lbs! But then the scale fell off of my feet, hit me in the head and knocked me unconscious. As I type this I’m suffering from gravity reality and [...]

For inspiration, I am including Avery Gray’s entry for the End of Spring Writing Assignment. (I think it’s very good):
Days stretch before me without end.
Though paths diverge in loping wend,
Through plains of gold and wooded glen
You’ll know just where to find me.

Past the mire of broken chances,
Where whispered prayers still nightly dance,

Yesterday, a very funny stay-at-home dad, Literal Dan wrote a post about getting his picky son to eat. I promised him that I’d post the answer to his prayers. (If this doesn’t work, nothing will, but keep in mind that the initial delivery is key….)
Our kids were “toothpicks” as babies; there was nary a roll [...]

I don’t usually support law suits. The only ones are where there is obvious gross negligence. I learned of a situation today and it makes me so upset that I want to sue this teacher on behalf of a little boy.
Here’s the unbelievable story. A five year old boy was “voted out” of his kindergarten [...]
