Although the kids still have 10 weeks of school left, I have started thinking about grading presents. I know for a fact my daughter will grade as all three of her report cards that have come home have been straight A’s. My son on the other hand is borderline so if he grades, I really [...]

Finally the time has come that the kids have been so patiently waiting for. It’s a long weekend here in Canada. The kids get to have five days off from school and are pretty happy for this extra time off. My son has a major project due the day he gets back to school so [...]
I can’t believe how quickly time has flown this past school year. Three months from today both the kids will be out of school for their summer break. So far their both doing pretty good so I don’t expect any surprises when the school year does end up winding down. Then they will have the [...]
The kids are home this week from school for their March break. Well needless to say I’m not getting very much accomplished. You would think at their ages (12 and 14) that they could go find something to do so I could get all my articles done on Non 12 step rehab but nope, all [...]
Summer plans

I love my kids but my youngest son is starting to get on my last nerve. He’s never been a real fan of school and it seems like lately he tries everything to get out of going. He is only in grade 7 so of course I force him to go, but it’s a fight [...]
I have a small dilemma. My daughter is in grade 9 this year and part of her course is that she is required to go with an adult to their job for a day. It’s a great theory but really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Because my husband is a mechanic [...]
I’ve got to tell you folks, it’s not that long before the Christmas season will be upon us. They are already mentioning Christmas on the radio and it really has got me to thinking about what to purchase the children this year. I would really love to get my son some tremendous amps but since [...]
You can sure tell that it’s fall here in my house. My son gets sick every year this time of year and of course this year is no exception. Now in past years he’d do a little faking to get out of school. But not this year. He really isn’t feeling good and wasn’t really [...]
