I wanted to be a mommy from early on. There were many loves and desires wrapped up in that goal, but I always knew I'd be one. I spend more time planning my parenting skills and daydreaming about how I'd handle certain situations and what I'd name my kids and how many were enough than I spent planning careers - and there were *many* different hats I tried on in the career department! It is so

I started discussing this on Facebook, then realized my kids both have accounts and could possibly run across what I was writing... ! If they know about my blog, they don't know how to get to it. I think.Storm's tooth has been loose for a few weeks, now. We've been keeping an eye on it. Not very loose, but last week, it got a bit wigglier. Tuesday night, after his teeth were brushed, we noticed a

Funny how ideas about parenting change after becoming a parent. I thought I would be teaching my children to listen to me... funny. Turns out, one of the most important things I could learn as a parent was how to listen. Sometimes, I still have occasions where I struggle to shut my mouth and listen, but I am always better off when I do.I am naturally an impulsive person. I struggled long and hard

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." — James A.

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back. - unknown Birthdays aren't a big deal to me, then again, they are. My own ceased to be much of an exciting thing after I hit 21...

To be nobody but myself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting. -E.E.

Storm has been asking to do things this week-where has he gotten the idea? I'm not sure. He asked to get me flowers for Mother's Day when we were at Mustard Seed. He asked to buy me a card when we were at Target-but not with me. Which makes it tough when Dave's out of town.I got a fistful of dandelions a few days ago. :~) Bright, sunny, yellow, fuzzy circles of happiness, plus a couple other "

The race of men, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity. -Carl Van Doren, professor, writer, and critic (1885-1950)I don't know why conflict between my boys seems so tough for me to deal with. Maybe I don't have enough practice. Maybe I don't have enough confidence. Maybe it's something else. I don't know.Too many times, Storm or Wyl comes to me saying the other did something or hurt

The soul is healed by being with children. -Fyodor Dostoyevsky, novelist (1821-1881) I'm freshly home from Unschooler's Winter Waterpark Gathering and still basking in that unschooling vibe. I love hanging out with unschoolers... easy-going, peaceful, kid-loving, accepting, joyful, fun people. Coming home from it helps me appreciate the great little group of unschoolers we have in my area. THANK

Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, thirst that is unquenchable?-Kahlil Gibran, mystic, poet, and artist (1883-1931)So... Wyl and I talked about things today. How school is (in some, small ways), how traditional parenting can look, how friends can be torn between their parents and their friends when choices have to be made.... It was a good talk, and for a change I knew when to shut up

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there -- lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)Ain't it great when your kid grabs your arms and wraps them around

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. -Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) Does anyone else talk to the screen while reading at the unschooling groups?

The dust of exploded beliefs may make a fine sunset. -Geoffrey Madan, writer (1895-1947) Okay, I know its been a while and I'll address that. Later. I just had to get this out of my head and onto "paper"...I think I've finally hit the nail on the head as to what "getting" unschooling feels like to me-at this point in the journey.

"Be careful how you interpret the world: it *is* like that." -Erich Heller, essayist (1911-1990)*Disclaimer: I had many brief interruptions and one long one, so this may come out sounding disjointed or worse ;~)When I have moments like this, moments when *true understanding* seeps in around the roadblocks of old tapes/status quo, I want to run to each and every one of my "voices of reason", my

Funny, since starting my journey to respectful parenting, I'm far less horified to hear my mother's voice coming from my mouth (rarely even hear it anymore) than to hear MY voice coming from my *children's* mouths. Those moments that stop me short as I incredulously ask myself, "Did I SAY that?" or "Do I sound that awful??". Apparently, I'm not noticing the early signs before I hear those things

Another one of those moments...I was reading an interview of Eva Longoria and read a bit about her mother being non-judgemental and always wanting whatever made her kids happy. I know this. I've wanted this as a parent, too. I *thought* I was "there" until I read this paragraph, set the paper down and nodded my head saying, "Uh huh." and then something clicked.All those times I kept getting

Funny how your kids' desires so easily become our own... Storm has been asking to go to Green Island (Discovery Channel kid's science-themed cartoon "Peep") all week. I kept meaning to Google it-I figured there was a Green Island SOMEwhere, but kept forgetting. He said it again about a half hour ago, as I sat at the computer. "Oh, yeah!"

Funny how some of these feelings/thoughts just kind of sneak up on you and then you're smiling and fighting back tears...Storm was puttering around the bedroom today near the box fan that is always in the room when he suddenly turned it on. Now, he's done this before in there and other areas of the house, but when he first started I was really concerned about him putting his fingers in it. And,

I'm stressing (again) over jumping on (breaking) furniture/beds and sugar/pop. Funny how these things seem to almost have a rhythm to them, a pattern, like the tides.

Some of my favorite threads on UD and AL are the connection ones. Funny, but I never make that *connection* when we have them here!Wyl asked me the other day what "star bird" meant. "Star Bird??" I asked. "Yeah, I heard it on SpongeBob the other day." LOL Ah, starboard. So, as I begin to explain that it is one of the 4 sides of a ship (one of the 2 sides, 2 ends??), I am explaining I can never

It was very easy for Dave and I to see and adjust our thinking in regards to the "educational" aspect of Radical Unschooling (RU). However, the parenting aspect is so much more difficult for us. While many people (it seems, though I haven't taken a poll or done any studies) seem to come to RU from an Attachment Parenting mindset, Dave and I were raised quite the opposite, and from my very first

Jeeze-has it really been almost 9 months since I blogged?? I knew it had been a while, but I didn't realize just how long it had been...There's been so much that has happened in that time... Not "big" stuff per se, but big steps (for us) in the RU department. I can't possibly fill it all in now, but I will put a doozy in, since that's what brought me back to my blog tonight.Tooth brushing. Teeth.

Funny how reading on the post boards makes me think of little blurbs I should be putting in the baby book or on the blog... Today it was several things about Storm. And a few about Wyl. I was just realizing how I used to offer to Storm "Here is the trashcan if you wanted to throw that away" and now he's actively searching for the trash whenever he has something that needs thrown away... And how

I'm thinking this is one of those pages I'm going to have to revisit and edit. I've tried e-mailing notes to myself about little ideas to expand on in the blog, and I just keep forwarding them to myself. SO... I figured since I'm online, have the Explorer window open and could take a few minutes, I'd jot a little something that crossed my mind today.Wyl got out and set up the Pixar Monopoly today

I had a horrid "meeting" with my parents Saturday.Without going into immense detail and history, lots of things happened with my controlling, domineering mother (with my father following in her wake) and my family, mainly about mine and Dave's parenting (or lack thereof in THEIR eyes), we took an extended "vacation" from visiting them, and ended up in a family counselor's office; things went much

My goodness! So many unschooling-affirming things have been happening in the last couple months. Work has left me with no time to blog, so I've neglected this a lot, but I have a little time today... probably not enough for all I have to say! LOL I was sending myself little notes to refer to when I got around to blogging, but I can't seem to locate them, so I'll see if I can edit at a later time.

Its been busy this month. Going to work again (uck), preparing (or trying to) for Storm's Blue's Clues birthday party, Dave and I taking classes at the Akron Main Library, Dave trying to put together a comprehensive business plan for the welding place, trying to organise talks with my parents and me and visits for the kids and grandparents... You know, *life* LOL Well, work's extremely boring,

A blog game!1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your Blog along with these instructions. 5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.***Okay! The first book I saw (and man, are there a lot here! LOL) was "

Well, good and bad points to the day. Wyl and Dave enjoyed the live Hobbit performance. What I saw of it, I really liked-masks were awesome, props were cool and I LOVED the versatility of the scenery! A lot of the masks and some props were made by one guy out of foam-I suggested to Dave he should find the guy's info and offer his help-he may learn something. Storm and I left about 10 minutes into

Well, today was a pretty quiet day. Dave had Steve B.s viewing to attend. Wyl played outside a lot. Feeling disconnected from him lately-have to figure out how to connect with him. Storm and I got lots of snuggle/lovey time with his beloved Dada gone for a few hours. :~) It was nice and re-charging. I didn't get much done around the house, but Dave did. Sheila was going to come by on her way home

Somtimes I get so involved in the day-to-day that it takes me a while to "see" something as a cool unschooling thing. The last few weeks, Wyl has been absorbed in "making potions"; basically playing in the bathroom with small and medium bottles (mouthwash, trial size shampoo, etc.), water, some comb-in hair dye of his, mouthwash, soap and all sorts of colored things. It started out quite a while

Well... I should have started this a long time ago, but with time constraints, technilogical impairments and all... :~D FYI: I don't know that my blog is going to be in a familiar format... I tend to ramble off into tangents of tangents, ruminate and basically converse with an unseen entity-my content varying with what I'm imagining the entity is responding... LOL Hope it isn't TOO hard to read,
