Terrible Tuesday: Oh boy
Tuesdays have been pretty intense this fall, with 3 hours of occupational therapy, an hour of speech therapy, and one and a half hours of Orchestra, not to mention the 2 to 3 hours of driving. Just to keep things interesting, we’ve decided to throw in a softball game every Tuesday for the next month. […]

Terrible Tuesday: Brain dump
I got nothing. Links! Raise a glass to Claude Shannon, Jr. , the genius no one’s heard of but whose work you’re benefiting from right now. There ought to be no law. From the little I’ve read, the law isn’t as awful as it could be, but talk about a camel’s nose in the door. […]

Terrible Tuesday: Finding our groove
The first week back to school was very busy even for our standards, but it was successful overall. The kids are at a stage where they need me less physically. Of course, you always need your mama, but maybe not to tie your shoes. Finding shoes is a different matter. Links! 8 common cooking mistakes […]

Terrible Tuesday: Wonderful!
I had a wonderful time in New York, but now I’m home with my family and my needy pets and my husband’s coffee. It’s good to be home. Happy links! I know I keep posting on gut bacteria (and poop), but it’s fascinating. This article talks about the gut as a second mind and links […]

Terrible Tuesday: AUGH
Yes, I’m still in my pajamas. No, I’m not finished with my presentations (one more!) or packed (All I need is a towel!). Yes, I’m really excited to be spending six days with one of the best people on the planet. Quick and dirty links! What should a 4-year-old know? Great post on promoting equality […]

Terrible Tuesday: studious
I’m preparing for some pro-life presentations I’m making next week. A couple of problems. 1. I’m a little rusty since I’ve been distracted with homeschool mommying for the past several years and am, in fact, in the midst of doing that right now. 2. Five stinking presentations. AUGH! Frantic-cramming links! Cool map showing U.S. rivers […]

Terrible Tuesday: Lego day!
The first Tuesday of every month the Lego store has a free mini-build. This month, it’s a flamingo! Buildable links! Here’s an archive of the instructions for some of the recent mini-builds. A commencement speech by George Saunder’s has been making the rounds, but if you haven’t read it yet, you really ought to take […]

Terrible Tuesday: Reading Day
This post contains affiliated links. Today we’re reading. We’re reading Carry On, Mr. Bowditch and The Bright Design and The Castle of Llyr. I’m not sure what else we’ll be doing, if anything. It’s just that sort of a day. Lazy-reading-day links! Speaking of, I found The Bright Design FREE on archive.org, an excellent resource […]

Terrible Tuesday: Meh
This is actually a fairly uneventful Tuesday. Nothing much is happening in the middle of the summer. MTG is traveling, and the Sprite has a double header tonight, but nothing big. Dull-summer links! Speaking of slow, from an excellent article on Charlotte Mason’s philosophy on memorizing: “Although teaching and learning themselves have been motorized by […]

Terrible Tuesday: Cool July?
We’ve been having a nice gentle rain for the past couple of days, with temperatures in the mid 70s. In Texas. In July. It’s the weirdest thing ever. Grateful links! How to encourage a special needs mom. Also: Calming the sensory intense household. Funny because it’s true: How ObamaCare works. Speaking of government stupidity, this […]
