Do YOUR fellow parents know the following yet?

Kung Fu Panda, great for kids!

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 […]

On having a romantic date with the husband

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 […]

Giving yourself permission to succeed, summer camp, relaxing and more

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 […]

Field Day, Camp Ling and more!

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, […]

Death of a TwitterBudgie, martial arts and more

Morning!

It’s been some time since I last posted - I’ve been writing soo much at my entrepreneurial blog BarbaraLing.com that I lost track of my other bazillion sites.
Yesterday was both wonderful beyond description and incredibly sad as well. The good news was I was able to train a bit in martial arts regarding […]

Prince Caspian, sparring, and playing hooky, oh my!

Morning,

I confess! I did it! I really it, it was all my fault!
I played hooky yesterday from my blogging, took advantage of the fact the kids were in school and (get this!) went to see Prince Caspian…ALONE!
What joy! What pleasure! I brought my latest book that I’m reading (fiction about […]

Guest blogging, Mean Mommying and more

Morning all,

Wow, where do I start?
Let’s start with the Mean Mom. El Meano Mommo (ie, yours truly), caused massive angst to Honorable Son I by making him take responsibility for his actions (ie, missed finishing his homework, and there ain’t no way Mom will reward him by giving him money to the school […]

I Am Mom, Hear Me Roar - I am BACK with a vengeance!

Morning!
Last Friday I wrote how I was hanging up my BJJ gi because I have nobody to teach the magnificent 40+ year old woman that I am. Because of several other issues in my life (pulling my bicep muscle/self-doubts/etc.), I gave myself permission to run away from all martial arts for awhile…until last […]

Huge wind storm, massive rains and me!

Morning all,

Hope you all had a super Mother’s day! I sure did and will be blogging about that soon. Too much other things to write now, however!
There’s a massive wind storm outside and rain and such - it’s perfect weather to go on the 2.4 mile circle walk. Maybe […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Morning all,

It’s Mom’s Day! Wheeee!
And let me tell you, my Mom’s Day will be utterly magnificent. Why, I hear you ask?
Couple of reasons. One, I communicated effectively just what I wanted for Mom’s Day - appreciation! I have no need of gifts; I already have everything I want. […]
