Party like an Egyptian
Today we had Little Miss’s 9th Birthday party. She has been enamored of ancient Egypt for a long, long time. This year she wanted an Ancient Egypt Birthday Party. On the upside, it’s much more interesting than your typical Disney character party. However, it requires a bit more thought, creativity and effort. But she’s worth […]

Funny kid, real funny
Today was Satchmo’s 2nd speech session after his initial evaluation. He said nothing last week, but we figured he was just a little shy. This week, he also said nothing. He did his usual pointing and the new squeaking his added to his repertoire, which is really annoying. Now, Satchmo has speech delays. His vocabulary […]

But what if it doesn’t
Our family life currently revolves around five therapy appointments a week, spread among 3 kids. Plus all the exercises and games and activities to reinforce the things learned in therapy. And we really need to add another one, but our budget and my sanity need a break. We’ll pick up the 6th session in a […]

Brouhaha hoo-hah
So apparently there’s another overwrought diatribe by a government school teacher who is upset with the homeschoolers. Sigh. Can’t we all just get along? Or even better, you do your thing with our money and leave us the heck alone. Sorry, I’m feeling a bit misanthropic today. Grumble. I’d link, but it’s really such a […]

My boyfriend’s back
and I’m thinking he needs to pick up the pace a bit. But this was worth the wait. This cartoon has a similar scary message. (ht a dozen different places.) Well, we’re so excited about those boys on American Idol and the interesting British lady with a pretty voice that we don’t notice our government […]

Well, that was fun
Ta-da! We survived SeaWorld! We more than survived, we had a great time. Sunday, we drove down to Austin to visit my sister and her family. Monday, we drove to San Antonio and spent a leisurely afternoon at the hotel pool. That was smart, because Tuesday wore us out. Because school isn’t out yet, SeaWorld […]

Getting away from it all
This year, the girls studied sea creatures in science. So we thought we’d cap off the year with a trip to Sea World. Fun for the whole family! We swung by and saw the cutest niece in the world. (And my sister and brother-in-law.) Yeah, they’re parenthesis now. That’s what parenthood is. We had lots […]

Still on the therapy treadmill
But we’re adding another therapy to our week. So that will be six. Six, that is if we are diligent to work with Little Miss every day, including this unpleasant massage to break up the scar tissue, so that we don’t have to add more PT. She very patiently does all the exercises, but she […]

Poor blog
So neglected. To be fair, with the current state of my brain, nobody wants to see me blog. Unless it would be to mock me mercilessly and I don’t need that kind of abuse right now. I think, hope, pray, we have managed to gather all 5 therapies together for Mondays and Tuesday. Unless the […]

‘Tis a great day to be a geek
It was a good day when The Children of Hurin came out. But not a great day, because a shorter version of that story was already in Silmarillion. Of course, it did have beautiful Alan Lee illustrations, so maybe it was a great day. To purchase it, you need to first have a valid prescription […]
