$300 +

The amount of money the kindergarten classes from Madison's school collected in for Pennies for Puppies for the SPCA!  We went to the SPCA today for a field trip.  It really was a great time for the kids.  They have a cow, donkey, horse and about 40 goats.  In addition to all the dogs and cats. We got to feed the farm animals carrots and apples.   

Madison's teacher has a passion for animals and thought it was a good idea (and it was) to collect pennies for the SPCA from the beginning of December to help get the kids in a giving mood and not a getting mood for Christmas.  They collected over $300 in change for the SPCA!  Five and six year old kids rock!   

Did you know you can adopt a rodent? YEP! You can adopt a hamster, gerbil and other loverly rodents.  

My personal favorite was Angie, she is a black cow.  She was so super sweet.  She was like a big dog.  She just wanted to be pet and loved.  How a cow ends up at the SPCA is a mystery to me when you live in a huge city. 

I had a great day with Madison. As soon as she got back from PE she was looking for me and joy just filled her face when she saw me sitting in her chair in her class.  It is just a field trip, but it really does make a huge difference in their day.  I cherish that I can do this with her right now.  Once Mark goes back to corporate America I might not have the opportunity to go on field trips for a while.  Carpe Diem!

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

One Word Can Actually Make a Difference

I choose not to work. I do understand that people don't have a choice and have to work outside of the home for a pay check to buy food and shelter.  One parent in my house must work. I also feel some don't really have to work and choose to work for luxury items.  I have talked to people that say there is no way they could be a stay at home parent and choose to go to work. Why do we as parents belittle each other in our choices.  Recently on Facebook (some say a necessary evil, but I think it is just evil) A parent commented   "...for the parent that actually works".  Wow, only one word makes that sentence sting.  I try not to let these words on Facebook hurt me or give them a second thought but I am a wordy person and I think about words.  The sentence takes a different tone if it was written, "for the parent that works".  The word "actually" implies negative things to those that don't work. For the parent that works I understand that a 30 ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...
