Our school districts are in shambles. Funding is being cut. Classes are over-crowded. There is low morale amongst the teachers due to pay cuts. Which trickles down into the classroom setting, rubbing off onto our students. And then… My daughter comes into the car today and announces to me that the school is thinking of [...]

Life Is Like An Overstuffed Sandwich
August 21st, 2011 
admin I was reading a tweet by @lolaaugustine that hit a home I hadn’t revisited in a long time. She mentioned in her tweet that “happy families (with dads) make me sad sometime. I was there. Those few words brought back floods of memories. Every piece of my being knew EXACTLY what she meant and EXACTLY [...]
Chinese Mothers Have NOTHING On The Jewish Mom
January 12th, 2011 admin The Wall Street Journal Online published a ridiculous, arrogant and pompous article entitled “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” by Amy Chua.

I just kept hoping that they’d outgrow those particular stages that required hovering and chasing and constant attention. I prayed for [...]

As many of you know, I lost a friend of mine to this horrible and violent predator back in July, after a courageous 5 year battle. Because that’s what it is when cancer attacks…a battle. Last year, Lori guest posted on my blog and in honor of her memory [...]
Coming Clean
July 31st, 2010 admin Dear Family and Friends, I have to admit something. It’s a deep, dark secret that I’ve tried to keep hidden for a long time. It’s my skeleton. It’s my shame. Kind of. Those so-called “generic”, funny shaped Cheerios in my cupboard? Really? They were, once upon a time, Lucky Charms. Full of colorful marshmallows in [...]
