Life as a slinky
Every one has heard the slinky song I would presume, but for those few that may have not it goes like this.
And here is some historical information on slinky in case anyone was curious.
So what does all this have to do with anything, you ask? Well if you were to view life and compare it to a slinky perhaps things would be better understandable.
Slinky’s are springs they stretch and and go back.
They are flexible.
Life and learning is all about a spiraling affect.
Everyone loves a slinky.
A slinky seems to fit in everywhere.
And a slinky will always be around forever!
Holidays
I hope everyone has survived the holidays. My family has and we are, for the most part, glad to see them come to an end. I hope the new year brings an uprising of good fortune and grand accomplishments. I have decided that everyone in the family should set some long and short term goals so that we may have some direction for the new year.
One of my own goals is that I still want to get our home ready to sell when the time comes. I also would like to see my children’s behavior make improvements and their education to move forward before the start of the next school year.
Activities are important and I would like to see more family activities done for the new year. This I believe should be an easily attained goal to reach for us. My goal for the kids are just to keep them busy throughout the summer.
I hope everyone has a bright New Year for 2008

I was most disappointed by the outcome of the first Tiger Scout outing. I heard it was unorganized. Now, I am not the master of organization by any means, but come on now, there is no reason why I should hear about mayhem in a scout meeting that is suppose to encourage community. I was quite disheartened by the fact that the boys were allowed to continue their disorganized hunt for leaves or just running amuck. My boy however, remained strong and at least picked up leaves while other children did their own thing. It sounded very unorganized, and I was surprised to hear that nothing was mentioned to the effect of the reason why the boys were to pick up leaves. Under a utopian life, I would gladly offer my services to be a den leader. Although, I feel that it should be boy dominated and I should remain in the back seat and observe. I am all for encouragement and equal rights, don’t get me wrong, but a boy does need to be around other boys and appropriate adult male role models.

As if it was not busy enough this time of year, one has to deal with the scheduling of colds, flu, earaches and other miscellaneous events that come around this time. How do single parents deal with 3 children being sick at same time? Luckily I only had one out today and we hung out for the better part of the afternoon and i listened to her snore extremely loud. WOW! hard to believe a noise like that can come out of such a small person.
I can’t wait to see what happens next for all the sick people in this house. Who will be the next victim….. da da dum!!!
