OK...so I haven't even looked at my blog in months....even forgot the web address. I decided to delve back in and saw several posts that apparently, I was too lazy to post. Here is one!

A Burr In My Saddle!
So there are lots and lots....and lots of things that piss me off. The biggest one centers around being Middle-Class. So, in order to allow me to vent...in depth....I have decided to focus a series of blog posts on "Middle-Class Misconceptions" and what I think about those that believe them. First.....and perhaps the biggest misconception that … Continue reading A Burr In My Saddle!
Words You May Never Have Uttered…
You may need a passport to enter another country, but you just need an open mind and some gas to reach the South. However, you may experience the same culture shock that you would endure in the Congo or African Sahara - we have similar language barriers and mating habits. You will certainly encounter those that … Continue reading Words You May Never Have Uttered…
I Am As Nervous As A Long Tail Cat In A Room Full Of Rocking Chairs.
So a few months ago my Facebook news feed was overrun with pictures and celebrations of little angels receiving numerous school awards. This week, it's overrun with first day of school pictures. Facebook has led us to a point that we broadcast every praise bestowed upon us or our little petite ya-yas. We are a homeschooling … Continue reading I Am As Nervous As A Long Tail Cat In A Room Full Of Rocking Chairs.

Don’t Start An Argument With An Empty House.
I had so much fun writing my eBook on Mountain Notes to Grant-writing, that I have decided to make it a series. Mountain Notes is an off-shoot of Cliff Notes, designed to give you a brief synopsis of the facts. Of course, I started it with something that I know how to do and so … Continue reading Don’t Start An Argument With An Empty House.
Forget everything I said last week. This week: Really....a pair of socks. It's.....soooooo.haaaaarrrrrrd. Please tell me that I am not alone....
Monday Moans! We all start out with big dreams for our little ones - great academics, star athlete, successful ventures, good character..... But as times change, so do our goals. Now, at the end of the day, we just pray for strong vitals. When I started homeschooling, I had classical music playing in the background, … Continue reading
I Bought It For A Song, And You Can Sing It Yourself.
Dear Readers, After a lifetime of dreaming to be a published author, today my first short eBook went on sale. I can't describe the feeling that is consuming me right now. No one may read it....but I published it, and that has to be enough for now. I have hid behind grants for years to feed … Continue reading I Bought It For A Song, And You Can Sing It Yourself.
