Break me down into little visual categories

I'm back in town and haven't had Internet access since last Friday, which was surprisingly fine (although I'm sure it will hit me once I start surfing and see how much I missed).

I realize I've had the same post (oh! the horrors!) up boring you all for days and days.

So, considering that, then admitting I've only got a bunch of uncompleted drafts and nothing at all final, but wanting something fresh and new, I give you visual DNA.

Thanks to OmegaMom who tuned me into this.



Also...I got some really interesting comments about the justice and forgiveness question Mary gave me in the interview.

Would anybody be interested in selecting a specific day or week and posting in a roudtable about justice, forgiveness, how they work together, which is more essential, etc?

Let me know!

P.S. If I owe you a reply here or via email I will be in touch soon, I promise. :)

Hmm ... you might could perhaps possibly entice me to discuss justice and forgiveness. Maybe.

I'm very decisive. I think it's my best quality, really. How about you?

My best quality is humility. I really pride myself on it.

Forgiveness and justice, eh? Well, that should be an interesting topic!

I've been busy and am just now catching up on my blog reading, so you didn't bore me at all! :) Of course, KayTar has checking your blog every night for a new post...she read it once and she keeps coming back. *lol*

I did this a couple of weeks ago and I didn't agree with my description at all. I need to try again. I'm sure I answered the questions wrong! ;)

Enough with the Mary Poppins Parenting, All Right?

Note: this post begins with "recently" but it was recent then not now. Then was around March 2012. At some point, someone for some reason reported this post and the platform pulled it down. However, the concept is evergreen so I am republishing it! ________________________________________________________________________________ Recently on Facebook, a friend disgustedly posted another "how French parents are better" article (this one cruelly about how French kids have less ADHD and it's because the French parents are BETTER -- or so it read to a lot of parents dealing with this situation in their own families, and boy do I understand that POV). She was appalled, we were all mainly appalled. Though there was a slight thread of "maybe there's a point here...how can we have so much more?" running through it. Feeling insecure about your parenting is pretty de rigeur for parents, I think. We are raising a person who will go out into the world, rep...

'Whatever' is not an actual salary and it really doesn't buy the groceries, either

Teaching my girls how to pull the rope for themselves. It was a pretty innocuous mother's club meeting, and we were talking about babysitters. I don't even recall why it came up, the talk about babysitters. Conversation unrolls so organically in these meetings, these times we get together, without children, and get to just talk. But sitters came up in conversation and the turn of that conversation surprised me. Greatly. Apparently around here it's bad manners to quote an hourly rate for one's babysitting services. "You know what gets me?" a mom said, "You know what sitters I prefer? Who I pay the most to? The ones who say 'oh just pay me whatever.'" She went on to explain that (and this is my paraphrase not her exact statement) to her, it came across as very forward, rude even, when these sitters said they charged X dollars per hour. My mind rolled that concept around for a minute: it's cheeky and rude to state upfront how much you charg...

Restaurant Trauma in Texas: How eating out prompted a really uncomfortable lesson about culture

WARNING: This is NOT a family-friendly post, aka the warning I WISH I'd gotten yesterday before I walked in. Yesterday was a Holiday. I hope you heard the scare quotes around that. Yeah, when you are an adult here is how holidays work: you, same workload as always, kids WOO HOO NO SCHOOL FREEDOM. Do the equation. The result is the day I had yesterday. If math isn't your strong suit I'm pretty sure you can still add that up but just in case let's say the highlight of the afternoon included me dumping out the mismatched sock basket and telling the children to have at it, in a way very reminiscent of Miss Hannigan of Annie . Anyway luckily I've taught my kids that Chores are Fun! and they had a good time. Later, I cranked up the fun-o-meter on a bank errand by dropping in the Halloween store to check out costumes, and upped the ante on "Mom needs new running shoes" by tacking on a "Hey let's eat out at a restaurant!" My husband was able to join ...
