Morning,

Yesterday I took my kids to see Kung Fo Panda and let me tell you, a super time was had by all. It was highly well-done, especially as all my kids and I do karate too!

Most people like the story aspect of “You can do what you dream.” I, on the other hand, went bananas over the sequence in which Po is getting utterly trounced by the masters, but everytime would get up and say, AWESOME! Let’s do it again!

In a nutshell, that’s me in karate.

Speaking of which, today is the karate competition in which my kids are sparring. Should be fun! And then it’s back to hack hack hack.

Enjoy,

Barbara

Today is Saturday

as I had earlier posted…and I’m going to do something amazingly radical.

Yes indeed, I have invited my husband out on a date!

I’ve ensure the kids are busy with their friends, and we are going to (get this!):

• Go out for a gourmet breakfast (cheaper than lunch/dinner but just as romantic)
• Hit local garage sales (we love saving money)
• Relax at Barnes and Noble (great books/coffee!)

It’s only for 4 or so hours, but hey – we deserve it! Time to unwind, talk adult-like stuff, enjoy each other’s company…what can be better than that? This year it will be our 15th year anniversary.

Enjoy,

Barbara

Morning,

Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity for me. I gave myself permission and retaught myself everything I had learned about vBulletin in preparation for integrating forums for commenting, gave myself permission to actually MISS my beloved adult sparring, slept for 8 whole hours and all in all, am doing quite peachy.

I’m up to Day 19 of my 21 Days to a More Profitable Blog tutorial, and Day 3 to 7 Days to Making Your Blog Blossom. School ends in 2 weeks (EEEK!) and I am up to my earlobes preparing Camp Ling! Argh. Can’t believe summer is already here!

Today the husband and I will enjoy garage sales, and then take the kids to see Kung Fu Panda. Tomorrow is the Karate Tournament that my son wants to attend…we’ll see how it goes.

Time to make the coffee,

Barbara

and you want your kids to be amused and engaged and keep their science smarts in top notch form.

What do you do?

Why, you show them how to charge their iPod via Electolytes, of course.

You point your kids to this article to learn more:

• Charge an iPod with an onion

And your kids didn’t realize Mom was this cool, eh?

Morning everyone,

Life is slowly getting back to normal (yay!). School will be out in 2 weeks and my kids can’t wait.

Have you made summer plans yet? I’ll be running the 4th year of Camp Ling for my kids, and it will consist of making youtube videos, teaching Calculus, getting better at karate, enjoying a rest and more.

You know, as the years go by and my mom skills increase, I’ll confess – I’ve finally learned how to Let Go and give kids time to be kids (and not strive for excellent in academics morning, noon and night). Mind, body and soul – they all require balance.

What do you think?

Enjoy,

Owlbert

Morning,

Came across this recently – great news for autistic children! To wit:

… John LeSieur is in the software business, so he took particular interest when computers seemed mostly useless to his 6-year-old grandson, Zackary. The boy has autism, and the whirlwind of options presented by PCs so confounded him that he threw the mouse in frustration.

LeSieur tried to find online tools that could guide autistic kids around the web, but he couldn’t find anything satisfactory. So he had one built, named it the Zac Browser For Autistic Children in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone free of charge…..MORE….

Talk about great stuff for autistic and other LD kids!

Enjoy,

Barbara
