They got me. I laughed till I cried. I cried till I laughed. “I never knew someone could throw up that much. Wow.” “I will never bleach my hair again!” “I’m [...]

This morning one of the leaders called me back and we talked for about half an hour. It turned out that they meet on Mondays and were going swimming tonight. The leader and I both thought that it would be [...]

Growing. Growing pains. Growing JOYS! I was given an incredible book titled “Loving Our Kids on Purpose” by Danny Silk. It’s totally wrecking me, in a completely great and painfully stretching way. I have the opportunity to go to this therapeutic parenting conference in two weeks. If God opens the doors, which He totally [...]

I have to show off my kid! So, to see Jeremiah rockin’ out all of the Old Testament books, go here. To see Jeremiah rockin’ out all of the New Testament books, go here. That’s right! This kid ROCKS!

Mixing it up a bit. Instead of doing his regular reading lesson, we watched a documentary on the history of black achievement in America. He loved it. Giving him a set time to calm down. I told him I would come check on him in 15 minutes, and [...]

My sister had been using it for her TV, but she wasn’t too sad to part with it. My hubby hooked him up with a laptop that he bought from his company [...]

So many good things about today, but it’s hard to believe the good. Jeremiah finished all of his work, lots of playing dumb for short periods of time, but when brought into the light, he immediately switched it up. BUT HE FINISHED! Yesterday, he read a short book on [...]

First of all, J started playing dumb right off the bat. Why? Because he was scared that he would screw up later. That was his mantra all day today. Basically it translates into “I do not trust you [...]

No complaining. A little playing dumb, but we talked about the nervousness, shook out the fears, and went on. He ate breakfast. A little more playing dumb, but he was still being very pleasant. We talked about the feelings, the fear that he would fail and that I would [...]

So yesterday sucked. Jeremiah was off his rocker with nervousness and not-feeling-worth-it-ness. It was baby talk and playing dumb ALL. DAY.  About EVERYTHING! It was control game after control game, and I fell into the biggest one without even realizing it until afterwards. I hate that. Anywho, with all of that I was hopeful, [...]
