We’re Going to Be Friends, Good Girls since we were Fifteen, who love the Boys In The Band

Hello, Monday! Looks like the winter weather is finally on its way out – while chilly, we’ve had sunshine for a few consecutive days, so maybe we’re finally moving towards spring! Being that it’s Monday, Monday means music! For the month of March, our Spotlight Dancer is our very own bloggy buddy Patrick Weseman of…

Major Decision and At My Wits’ End: RTT Rebel

After lots of sleepless nights and tears, we finally decided it would be in Princess Nagger’s best interest to remove her from the gifted program and return her to Gen Ed.

School Angst Solution, Line-Cutter and Funnies – Random Tuesday Thoughts Rebel

So far, (mostly) so good, in the school mode, Little Dude has only gotten in trouble twice more since last week – once for talking in class, and once for throwing sand on the playground. At least he hasn’t had to go to the principal’s office, so he’s making forward progress. Princess Nagger has decided…
