ETA: This was posted in February 2009. I haven’t heard of any ongoing need, so I think we can assume that the little one is healthy now. Thank you for all your kind offers of help! I just received this…
Feeling Pouty – Please Skip, Whinging Ahead
Bah. I don’t feel good and I can’t sleep anymore and I’m the only one awake. There’s a very childish part of me that wants very much to find a way to wake Sam up so I won’t be alone.…
Is crying cathartic for you?
I hate crying, and will go to great lengths to avoid letting anyone see me cry—a habit I acquired as a child, because I didn’t want to let my father “win” when he hurt me. I always feel worse, rather…
Linky Linky
You know all those stories and worries about immunizations contributing to autism? Forget them. The doctor who wrote the study that started the scare back in 1998 has been charged with “fixing” the data. What’s more, the “study” only involved…

I lost track of who originally linked to what, so I can’t credit them properly. But thank you to whoever they all were, anyway! Filed under “another reason I’m proud to be a homeschooler”: California court rules that private school…

Ouch

That A/C thing
Apparently, the filter for the unit is missing, and the coils need to be cleaned. There’s no obvious sign of mold/mildew, but Sam says that fresh air is coming into the bedroom via the unit, and our neighbors on that…
I’m Allergic to Our Bedroom
More specifically (I hope), something in it. Not Sam, happily, but every time I go in there, I’m all stuffed up within a few minutes. We keep that room closed and have a window a/c unit in there because the…
