In part 1, I shared with you with stories of my rocky parenting of our firstborn, Mr R. We finally got a diagnosis of bipolar for him. Here’s how we coped immediately after the diagnosis. Also at age 7, he began attending a small private school with his brother. He was in a mixed Kindergarten/first [...]

This was posted on my old blog, but I’m taking that down soon and wanted to move posts that are important to me over here. Originally published November, 2006. Mr R is still on his diet and supplements and is doing well. As he’s matured, he is better able to apply coping strategies and control [...]

1. Tonight is supposed to be Mr. R’s first sleepover ~BUT~ four male family members were down with the stomach bug yesterday and I’m still waiting for the little girls to get it. It hit Mr. S and husband dear pretty hard, and so we have to postpone the party until next week. 2. Except [...]

Mr R is having his first ever slumber party, to celebrate is 12th birthday. There should be 8 boys, including our own. I needs your help, Internetz. I have no clue. Oh, I know about slumber parties – I’ve been to quite a few myself. We’d giggle, do each other’s hair, paint nails, and [...]

CN’s is our neighbor, and his son is in Rob’s class. There was an incident this morning at the bus stop with his wife. It’s so hard living in this fallen world. Anyway, I called the school, waiting for R’s teacher to call me back. And I’ll probably write an email, so that there is [...]

Last week, I wrote about Mr R, my oldest son, and the new difficulties arising this year, and how he ended up being expelled from homeschool. I thought I’d give a bit more background. I don’t know why things started slipping. Is it because he’s eleven now, with adolescence looming on the horizon? Is it [...]

This post is difficult to write. The negatives of homeschooling are rarely discussed among homeschoolers. There are so many attacks from so many angles without homeschool moms giving opponents fodder. Those of you who would crow triumphantly “See! I told you!”, this post is not for you. Homeschool mamas wondering why your school day isn’t [...]

1. I went to the store and threw whatever I wanted into the carts. It was like being a kid in the candy store. Hmmm, haven’t had wild rice in so long! In it goes. Mr R saw it on the shelf and ran to alert me. “Rats got into the rice and pooped!” he [...]
