S.O.S. can mean several different things…Save Our Schools, HELP!!!, Switched On Schoolhouse. Anything with an S-O-S configuration, really. Right now, for me, it is an acronym for Sick Of Stuff. It’s time to get serious about Stuff around here. As I’ve gotten older, wiser, and more free of debilitating emotional issues, I have found that I’m somehow a better housekeeper. Do not read I’m A Perfect Housekeeper and My Home… Continue Reading
Conversations With Preschoolers: Applesauce
The following is a real, actual conversation with a real, actual preschooler. It is a great example of the conversations that I have on a regular basis, particularly with this preschooler. They always leave me feeling a little dizzy and like I’d just been sideswiped by an invisible sock monster. Or something equally absurd… THE PLAYERS Preschooler #1 is also known as Mister, but he’s not acting in this scene…. Continue Reading

I haven’t changed a clock since we were forced to start doing… Continue Reading
No Longer a Rebel Without a Cause
I’ll do what I want, thank you very much I’ve been a rebel as long as I can remember. In my younger days, rebelling against the status quo, against being “good”, against any kind of authority. And, in particular, against anything having to do with God. Sin was something to be proud of, not avoid. And I didn’t avoid much sin, truth be told. I realized today that God still… Continue Reading
Facing the Book
If there was a 12-Step Program for Facebook addiction, I probably might have found myself in a meeting some night. Hello, my name is Dawn. I’m a Facebookie. I’ve been on FB now for two years. At first, it was great…it was new, exciting, lots of fun…but then after a while, it started to take over my life… I would look out at the rows of cold, flesh-colored folding chairs… Continue Reading
