Wednesday evening, Drew, Duncan, my Mom and I were all hanging out at home when the power went out. Drew and Duncan were downstairs in the family room and my Mom and I were upstairs in the laundry/craft room. There were no exclamations from the basement, however. I felt my way down the hallway and down the stairs to discover a glowing light in the room. It was Hunter's laptop, and it was running

This morning I had a meeting at the high school to create a 504 plan for my oldest son, who has dyslexia and dysgraphia. I went in with almost no idea what to expect. Would there be some battle over it? Would it be no big deal? I have purposefully avoided the public schools for years and years because of the dyslexia, but this school has been very welcoming so I was actually a bit surprised when

I wrote up and was all ready to post a rather angry description of what I did today - taser training - but decided that it was not appropriate to put on my blog. As much as the whole thing made me angry about some aspects of my job, I do like my job and I want to keep it. For now. Until something that doesn't involve being expected to know police training - or any training, really - without ever

I was thinking today that I should start writing more on my blog again. I don't want it to be a chore, but I miss the record it leaves behind. Sometimes our life here is very boring, but most of the time there is some wacky story to tell pretty much every day. If nothing else there's always the diary aspect. And the lists! I miss making lists.This morning we went to the Hansen Planetarium with

Dear Duncan,You love dancing, and I think that's great! You could be really good at it if you keep working hard. One thing, though. I think you need to seriously reconsider taking hip-hop and breakdancing. I know you feel like you're the "little kid" in those classes, but the reality is that the other kids there have started too late and should have been learning it when they were your age. You

Say hello to the hen formerly known as "Odd", and who shall hereafter be known as "Peaches." Duncan gave up on naming her "Kalimdor" because, as he said, "It's kind of official now because Nama already started calling her Peaches."Today we moved the chicken coop and pen so that they are put together as originally intended. We ran out of time to finish the most important part, however: the door

This past Wednesday we lost our little Easter Egg Chicken. The two hens were lounging about happily in the back yard around noon, but when Duncan went out to put them in their pen at 3:30, Azzie was missing. This was not terribly unusual, but Duncan searched everywhere he knew to look and couldn't find her. I had just left to take Hunter and Drew to some classes so we were gone until 6:30 and I

Dear Friends,If you feel like you know me well enough to do so, I would appreciate it if you could make a list for me of ten positive qualities about me. In other words, ten things about me that you think are good, positive, way-to-be, not sucky, whatever. I know ten is a lot, and I honestly couldn't come up with any when I sat down to do this little exercise about myself, so if you can come up

We got Hunter's midterm report from East High School today. He has one class there, which he is doing fine in. The school, however, receives a failing grade from me.Apparently my son's last name is still "Algelovic", even though I called weeks ago and spoke with someone in student services who supposedly changed it in the records right then when I called. Not! Also, they have him in 10th grade,

A while back I linked to episodes of The Guild. Here's a funny music video starring those characters that goes a long way in explaining why so many people are more comfortable as their online gaming avatars than they would be dating in reality. Do you want to date my avatar? She's an albino troll with red eyes, tusks, and multiple piercings. So much like the real me it's eerie!
