If You Do Not Meet My Objectives for Us, Do I Have the Right To Force You?

A day later, the whole thing just seems like a bad dream. I think the worst part of it was that we were all pulled into someone's domestic violence. Witnessing abuse is the same as being abused. Now I'm going to have to go see my therapist and talk about this latest episode of violence. Who would... Sign in to see full entry.

OTHERS COULD HAVE MELTED WHEN LIFE KNOCKED THEM DOWN. WHY DIDN'T THEY?

We've had a family crisis. Right here on blogit! someone got too close to the flame and got burned. As can happen in relationships, especially relationships where alcohol used to be, is and will always be a factor, there was a major meltdown. Unresolved issues rise to the surface. Secrets from our... Sign in to see full entry.

Where's The Christmas Cheer Indeed! Take a Look in There, Dude -- Today my class asked me if we were going to have a party. I responded that if they considered immersion in the three R's a party, then that's what we would have. I said, if you want a party, that you do at home. Over here you study....

KINGMI SOAP OPERA -- THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT!

Been a short weekend. But it is the last full week before Christmas break. That is, thirteen or fourteen days. Many of you have asked about my girls. They are fine. We are all under stress what with the last days of the semester. Oldest daughter is going through some serious stress as a senior. Her... Sign in to see full entry.

Bloggers Study the Code, But Do Not Learn From It...................... I've been reading what one blogger experiences at university as an adult. I had the same experience returning for my MA and EdSpec degrees after the age of thirty. It was a pristine learning experience, my undergrad days... Sign in to see full entry.

MACARONI AND CHEESE AT WORK -- THE NEW AMBROSIA......................

This really must be quick, my mother is waiting for me and mydaughter is on the couch waiting for me to help her with her term paper. We have three of the six pages done. She's doing the footnote page by herself, I refuse! I have to run back out to COSCO. They have large quantities and if you shop... Sign in to see full entry.

THESE BLOGGERS ARE WORKING TOGETHER!

Well, it's been a busy week. One thing I worry about is the comment from Dr. Laura Schlessinger, about the opposite of the deadbeat dad syndrome. That is, "I'll do it all." Let each person carry their share of the burden, and one guy doesn't have to do it all. One dad wanted to be all things to all... Sign in to see full entry.

PARENTING: this is a war of attrition. We drop out, they persevere

As I said, we got the physical therapy appointment scheduled. I lost a filling in my upper right tooth toward the back. It was a decades-old filling. I was scheduled to go at five o'clock on Tuesday. That would have fit perfectly with no margin for error, as I pick up my junior in high school at... Sign in to see full entry.

One Blogger Who Doesn't Want to Be Left Out................................ I guess I've never told the story of how my older daughter returned to live with us. She's a normal kid. Very academic, driven and sees the horizon a lot differently than I ever did at seventeen. I credit her mother. Well,... Sign in to see full entry.

We are back to normal at the kingmi household. My oldest daughter is in her first of five weeks of light duty at the nursing home. She signs up for physical therapy this week and begins the process of undoing a lifetime of wear and stress on her back. My belief is born out once again. When you have... Sign in to see full entry.
