I think part of my dislike of the DMV is a bit self-fulfilling. For example, my original appointment was Wednesday and I had every document I needed except my birth certificate and marriage license. I remembered my divorce decree but the identification proving I was a citizen of the good ole USA and the one [...]
I have a confession to make. I hate going to the DMV. I know, I know. You’re shocked right, because guess what? YOU TOO hate going to the DMV. And while I am sure our dislike of standing in line for hours and forking over hundreds of dollars to get a piece of plastic to [...]
I decided on January 1st to jump back into the business of blogging by participating in a daily posting challenge via BlogHer that is similar to NaBloPoMo except that it is occurring in January as opposed to November when it usually happens. This month’s theme is “Beginnings” which, when you think about it seems like [...]
One of the many reasons we decided to homeschool was to cover a lot of the basics we feel education is lacking these days. A benefit of bringing her home is that we’ve had an amazing opportunity to reinforce our values as a family and to encourage her to find friends who share those values. [...]
No one summed up 2011 better than Drue in her fabulous end of year newsletter to family and friends. If you did not get your copy, don’t fret! You can find it here on Lifeinflux!

I’ve been on the edge of education for over a decade now and have seen second and third hand what teachers experience but it is nothing like being responsible for [...]
Wow, I cannot believe I’m 37 today! I mean, technically I’m 36 until 3:37 this afternoon but for the sake of semantics, we’ll go ahead and refer to me as being the big 3-7! I swear there are moments when I feel what 16 was supposed to feel like (you know, world is full of [...]
As a self-diagnosed Gleek, I confess I awaited this year’s season premiere with baited breath. I was eager to see how they would handle Quinn’s transformation, I’ve been wanting Will and Emma together since Teri flashed her fake baby bump and while the Finn/Rachel relationship causes me to go into a diabetic coma (no, I [...]
September 22nd, 2010 is a day no one will forget in my family. It was a day when we unexpectedly lost one of our own. It was one of those days that happens to “other people” and as you comfort them you might remember to send up a silent thanks that it has not happened [...]
