And today I spent over an hour shoveling snow
Of course, I wired myself up so I could count it as a workout. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, this hour was the second time the snow had to be shovelled today. Vlad did it the first time before he left. I’m in an odd place right now. It’s an exciting place, but a bit frustrating. Geekatplay…

The gym blues
I might have to postpone this triathlon thing. Before Christmas I had been going to the gym, but I have a 90 minute cap at the gym, with my little one in the playroom. The last few weeks I took him there, he was giving me a lot of resistance. There were bigger kids in…

Siblings, the age gap, growing older together or not…
Looking at a picture of some of my children that included my nearly oldest (nearly 15) and my youngest who is 2, I realized that he would view this picture in later years as one with someone who was part of his early childhood. My daughter will be going to college, etc when he is around…

7th grade math class discrimination or healthy competition?
So tell me, should a middle school math teacher seat children ranked, according to their grades, with the best in front and the worst in back? Â

What exactly is a Stepford Wife?
I’ve seen both versions of the Stepford Wives, the one from the seventies and the more recent Kidman version. Neither viewing was very recent, but I’m going off what this movie has symbolized to us, now. The thing that this movie failed to note is that men are real people too. I’m also bothered by…

Excuse me, may I have a little more, sir?
The pirate song is finished, but not complete. I still need to go over it a bit. Other things I’m doing includes narrating tutorials for my husband. The tutorials are for Vue, which is some 3D software for creating scenery. In doing so, I’ve learned how to use Vue (That is what a tutorial is…

Happy Father’s Day
I had a rough time my senior year in high school, with jerk guys in the halls and an administration that was clueless. My dad doesn’t know this, but just by being a caring and strong father and a wonderful husband to my mom he helped me in ways even I didn’t know until later in life.…

PGR 2.4 is up and it’s Awesome!
Adventures of an Awesome Mom is hosting Pediatric Grand Rounds today. She did a fantastic job, and I especially appreciate her words about Dr. Robert Lindeman, a pediatrician we’d all be happy to take our children to. I have to say, I’m in awe of this mom. She deals with difficulties I can’t even imagine as…

A doctor’s light touch
At the end of the visit, my pediatrician smiled as he stood up, saying, “Well, Toddler Boy, we’ll see how your career goes at your three year checkup.†A part of me wanted more, though. Oh, I had no concerns about my child’s health. But he had just demonstrated how advanced he was. At barely…

Pediatric Grand Rounds
Glad to announce Pediatric Grand Rounds being up at the Wait and the Wonder from Moreena. Quaking in my boots about the next go around, to be held here in this very place. I’ve decided to give this one a casual topic. Casual, because I certainly won’t keep anyone out who submits a post that doesn’t fit with…
