DH, What are you doing NOW?
2008-06-08 06:01:00
He’s always doing some strange thing or another…LOL Right now, it’s saving himself $200 or so by making his own guilles suit. I had no idea what a guilles suit was until I was asked to blog about a site that sold them. Since then, DH has been talking about getting one.

Don?t know what to do with her!
2008-06-06 03:55:00
I had just sent off DD8 to school when I got a phone call from the deputy principal of the high school, telling me that DD15 is being put on long-term suspension for assaulting a girl at school. This is the second time she has done this (I tried to search for my other post but ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Don’t know what to do with her!", url: "http://mummifiedtimesfive.net/2008/06/06 /dont-know-what-to-do-with-her/" });

Like mother, like daughter
2008-06-05 11:04:00
I took a trip down memory lane this afternoon. I came across a photo of DD12 from three years ago. She came home from school and announced that she was awarded “Student of the Week”. Well!

Do you remember the time when everyone had their own free Geocities website? Do you remember when creating and offering adoptions, and joining webrings, and giving a graphic gift away was popular?

DD12 (coming out of the bathroom): Mum, is W (DS16)’s bedroom bigger than the bathroom? Me: Yes DD12: I thought so. And then she went on her merry way.

I had to laugh! DD15 is so excited about doing work experience soon through school.

Art or Exploitation?

At a time when there is so much concern about the exploitation and early sexualisation of children, Australian photographer Bill Henson has decided to display his art of naked pre-pubescent children. Due to public outrage, the police closed the exhibition down. Art lovers and artists are calling this censorship of ‘genuine art’.

A couple weekends ago, we went to visit my grandparents. Whenever I go there, I always have a little chuckle because nothing ever changes in their house.
