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? [...]

David Cook Wins American Idol!!

OK, I just have to say it. From my more serious polygamist post earlier today, I cannot help but go a little “pop”.
I love David Cook.
There. I said it. I am over ten years older than him but I love him for his talent, his humble nature, and those eyes. WOW! [...]

Comparing the Polygamist Mormons (FLDS Church) with the Amish?

A great big shout out to the Life on the Run blog for it’s heartfelt and informative post of polygamy and plural wives.
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 [...]

Running Naked Through Sprinklers

It is HOT here. Hot in Arizona, but we aren’t in Phoenix or Tucson. We are in northern AZ, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon area. We’re in the mountains – it’s SUPPOSED to still be cool and nice. The last five or six years though, we have reached highs in mid-summer of near 100 degrees. That was [...]

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 [...]

More thoughts on the Preakness

I think I feel guilty. Now as I wait for the Preakness to begin I am watching the clips of the Derby and the whips. I know, my “horsie” friends tell me the whips don’t hurt, but how could they not? Maybe I was too quick to believe the horses weren’t harmed [...]

The Preakness

No, I am definitely NOT starting this by comparing my limping old bod to a thoroughbred horse.  But hey!  So I ran early today – 30 minutes, not too long but my long run of the week.  Drove into the park (Grand Canyon) and ran along the rim.  SO beautiful.  I heard robins and it [...]
