More Polygamist News - Breaking News from MSNBC!

I have to say that in light of the MSNBC story
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24878696/,
I am just sad.
I wrote a blog post about a week or so ago
http://sugarsprouts.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/comparing-the-polygamist-mormons-flds-church-with-the-amish/ and I was so hoping this wouldn’t happen. But it did. So the shout outs to Texas are reneged. Come on guys. You KNOW this is [...]

No Longer a Tagging Virgin - I’ve Been Tagged!

Hey, thanks to Daisy at http://daisyolsen.com/ for teaching me about memes and tagging (as in “Tag! You’re it!”). I have a lot to learn but I have found such a supportive group of friends and other Moms online with such a tremendous wealth of experience that I have never truly been alone. [...]

Oh My Holy Hell - FIRE This Evil Teacher!!!

THIS I cannot believe - and the school claims it ISN’T emotional abuse - it sure as hell is, and to ALL the kids to allow this kind of obnoxious abusive behavior from a teacher.

The Day After Memorial Day

I’m getting really excited about the upcoming season of Army Wives. Not being an Army wife myself, but having been an Army brat of sorts makes the show especially appealing to me. I have many close friends who WERE (and are) in fact true, live-on-post, deal with all the pride but [...]

Spanking is Violence (not discipline)

OK, my opinion on this is one I will admit cannot be changed. Perhaps I may gain some more respect for those “spankers” out there (and I am referring to children – what you do in your bedroom is your own business) and their views, although admittedly, I doubt it.
What brings this up? [...]

I love David Cook.

I actually live VERY (frightening) near the FLDS community of Colorado City (otherwise known as Short Creek). **** It is not at all unusual to go into town and see one [...]

Jogging with milk-filled boobies, and nursing in public

I tried to exercise while nursing. I really did. But my daughter and I kept this relationship going for over a year-and-a-half and frankly every attempt I made was thwarted with squirting milk and leak spots on my workout shirt. So I gave it up. Which is why I’m going after [...]
