Hello, Laura, I am glad you got to enter for the embroidery pattern today. I wanted to say that it is so easy to get bogged down and not complete everything! I know you were/are thankful in your heart!! That's what really matters :) God bless you richly in His grace!

I actually wasn't very mad when I wrote. I just felt the need to get it out. :) It felt good.

It's a bummer when we let "other folks" tick us off -- I hate that. I never find it hard to keep on doing what we think is best because that's our thoughtful, conscious decision in the matter. However, I have that copmletely exasperating desire to have everyone else think that what we're doing is valuable too.

I hope you're not feeling as mad as you sounded in this post and that venting it out here to the blogosphere helped. Keep on keepin' on. It's going to be you before the Seat -- not them. Sigh.

I do wish that people would just look at the bigger picture without needing a list of all the awesome stuff your kids did this day!! Isn't that annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you should make Mesa fill out a diagram worksheet of the parts of the boat, then write a pre-canned "writing journal excercise" on "what it would be like to be on the bay on a boat if you ever got to go outside and be on a boat on the bay" and top it off with a lot of yelling and red pen marks and belittling her efforts. I'm sure "they", to whom are concerned, would definitely be happier with that notebook. Screw them.

Most people who ask about socialization don't know what it really means. Read this and tell me what that has to do with school?
From the dictionary: so·cial·i·za·tion
? [soh-shuh-luh-zey-shuhn]
–noun1.a continuing process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior,and social skills appropriate to his or her social position.

Wow! How inspirational! Now I want to "come clean" on my blog. You've gained a new reader and a new friend if you wish.

I love the looney doctor/drunk nurse and psych patient way of playing doctor! Sounds like my kind of kids!

That pumpkin-peach cake sounds great too!

I'm so sorry you are feeling so alone. I can relate to that as well. I have to really push myself to interact with others and I'm always glad when I do. I'm always surprised at how open people are to my life. Glad to hear that Olivia is loving acting. That is my passion too and I miss it terribly.

I hear you about comparing yourself with other families. It's a hard thing to get away from .

We discovered that the Webkinz clothing fits the Fur Real pet pig that my son got years ago. It makes him so happy to dress that little pig. He's expressed an interest in making more clothes for it. I'd love to show him pics of your daughter's Webkinz accessories!

Oooo, the comparing thing gets me a lot. It is HARD not to compare. And totally get the dentist thing-- $100 per appt is not on the budget.
