Daycare, Professionals & the American way
Howdy friends.
Gonna get on my own little soapbox for a wee bit here, due to a recent overheard conversation.
Granted:We all have opinions about a lotta things, and some make more sense than others.
I have an opinion that the best plan for children, is to be raised by a parent full-time: I’m
speaking here of birth through school age. (assuming one is enrolling said child in public school).
So, when I hear folks who I know to be decently earning professionals, planning on
enrolling their newborns in daycare, it gives me grief on behalf of the child.
The child who will spend so much of his or her early & formative years under some-elses
care.
It seems to be fastly becoming the accepted, and almost expected norm: that you, the mom(or dad I suppose)
will return to work shortly after birth, in order to not disrupt the life that existed before pregnancy.
Now, I understand there are some who for financial reasons, perhaps do not have the luxury of a choice
in the matter.
My wife and I have chosen to sacrifice a dual income in order for her to be home, raising our children.
Am I saying I’m better than <person x>?
No.
I’m saying we are blessed.
But my rant is toward those who I know are earning enough money to afford a single income for a few years,
but choose to not do so.
We do live in America, where such decisions are a part of our freedoms: and I would have it no other
way.
What do you think?

What is apparent from my blog?
When I see my blog posts, I’m struck by the sheer randomness & utter nonsenseness,
non-focusedness of it all.
I recently read this gals blog post.
She is married to this guy Chad.
She describes what he is like(before medication), and I have to say that once again, I
heard of someone who seems to display MANY of the traits I have, and deal with on
a daily basis.
I think perhaps Spring & I will revisit this business of meds.

Pipes & the Sea
Folks, I recently(no small thanks to my brother in law Lukas)
broke out my meerschaum pipe I brought back from Turkey.
Health risks aside, I’ve found a bit of relaxation space when
I’m puffing: most especially when I’m overlooking the sea.
Probably no small wonder to those who know me, as most are
well aware that the sea holds particular sway with me.
But I’ve found, something just feels right when yer smoking
a pipe by the sea.
I’ll have to wait on the beard…

H1N1 pdf Is this true?
If this is accurate data, does it matter to you and I if it is?
Would you or I NOT take the vaccine based on this information?
I’m just asking the question…

OMG
ok, so a simple Google search starting with “how to
Resulted in this:
So, we can extrapolate a story…
- boy goes on a date: dresse sup to impress girls father..puts on a tie
- kisses girl
- um…she…becomes…
- then she wants to look like she did before they..
- he then needs to earn income to support the new family, so learns PHP
- she’s striking out with the Atkins diet, so needs to lose weight fast
- he’s bored evenings now, so digs out his old Rubix cube
- he’s needing more $ to buy a boat, so applies for better paying jobs
- she begins to pick up girlhood hobbies, and starts drawing
- she really wants to look good in a bathing suit again, and Googles “how to…
