A Modern Day Huck Finn

As we wrap up middle school and look to high school, my mind swims with thoughts. Rye is a kid who does not fit into school. I would not go so far as to say that he hates it, but let’s just say it does not bring out the best in him. He tends to [...]

hEllo SpRinG!

Normally I like to stay with the black and white theme but hey, it doesn’t do Spring much justice so…color it is! Living on the wild side over here, I tell ya. I haven’t been much for posting lately. I guess sometimes you just need a break from it. Anyway, after a rough few months of [...]

America’s 50 States: Great Android App for Homeschool

Normally I’m not one to promote things on this blog. However, a friend of mine wrote this app so I thought I’d take a minute to speak about it. And, I’d like to think I inspired this one a bit with our family’s adventures in homeschooling. But that may just be my active imagination. The color [...

Feeling Good Friday

A few weeks back we were sitting in the psychiatrists office waiting to see what kind of magical jellicle med combo we were going to try next with Rye and I opened up the The New Yorker and saw this cartoon by Tom Cheney. Touche. ______ Anyhoo, Happy Friday! I am so glad it’s the weekend. Not tha

The Medicine Is Helping

This is what Rye told me yesterday. My only addition to that comment would be to say that it is an understatement. The medicine changes are really helping. Last week, the week before, the week before that, and the week before that if I had $100,000 in the bank I would have been madly applying [..

Like Looking In A Mirror

If I could morph into a taxidermied weasel, this would be me. Thank you to The Bloggess for always making me laugh. This is her new Weasel, Juanita. I think I’ve looked at this picture ten hundred times already today and every time it makes me burst into laughter. Man, I needed that. ….

Up And Down And All Around

[photo source: Library of Congress] Holy Mother Of God, we have been on a wild ride this past month. The impact of the move has finally hit Rye and he is struggling with Stability. And we are all along for the ride. On the good news of things, we do have a new psychiatrist now. And we [...]
