My top 5 slacker mom moments this week
2008-08-09 18:26:00 I washed my kids hair with the hose and a bottle of shampoo that I keep in the garage just for this purpose. (How’s that for white trash, Michelle?) I forgot to wash Madeline’s leotard for dance class so I threw it in the dryer with a Bounce sheet to freshen it up. I was running late ...

SWITCHED ON: SLACKER IN YOUR SLACKS (PART 2)
2008-04-14 20:57:00 Filed under: Portable AudioEach week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about technology, multimedia, and digital entertainment. Last Switched On introduced the Slacker Portable, a device that is as noteworthy for great value in bringing a steady stream and great variety of free music -- including on-demand favorites from those with a premium subscription -- as it is for its design quirks.None of these are are as frustrating as the device's touch strip used to provide quicker access to on-screen selections. Unlike the touch strips on older Creative Zen models, it uses absolute positioning that activates the button at that part of the screen. Unfortunately, this means that stray touches can cause the interface to jump from screen to screen and even skip tracks. The Slacker team may have considered the touch strip a compromise for a device without a touch screen, but at some point realized that their implementation wasn't up to the task. Slacker turns the touch strip off ...
Slacker Portable gets Devicescape WiFi manager
2008-04-02 23:47:00 Slacker Portable gets Devicescape WiFi managerHey, Slacker Portable users -- yeah, all eight of you: listen up. Slacker has just teamed up with Devicescape Software in order to give you easier access to more WiFi when on the go. Essentially, the Devicescape Connect application is a WiFi hotspot manager which allows users to register usernames / passwords online and then have the software automatically connect whenever in range. For existing users all giddy about having more opportunities to refresh your Personal Radio stations, you can simply perform a station refresh to nab the new goods -- as for prospective buyers, look for all Portables shipping now to have Devicescape pre-installed.(Via Engadget.)
SWITCHED ON: SLACKER IN YOUR SLACKS (PART 1)
2008-04-02 04:20:00 Filed under: Features, Portable Audio Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about technology, multimedia, and digital entertainment. The Slacker Portable is the proverbial elephant being inspected by blind men. One is the crop of portable MP3 players, to which the device’s service represents free, fresh music on the go in exchange for user control of track selection. Another is the bevy of online internet music sites such as Pandora, Last.fm, Finetune and others, to which it represents the leap from the beb to portable entertainment. A third is the traditional consumer electronics industry for which it portends a connected future. And a fourth are XM and Sirius, which now appear on track to merge in part due to the kind of competition that the Slacker Portable will ultimately provide. The Slacker Portable picks up where last year’s promising Sansa Connect left off. While that device was billed primarily as an MP3 player that boasted tight integration w...

Listening to his teacher... sitting where she says..etc..etc..THE SECOND he sees me though... and is asked to sit on the blue carpet with the other boys and girls (after they ate) he was a different child.Its so weird how one day they can be total gems and do exactly like you ask... then the next day wont listen to a word you say!Calebs normally very good at listening... when its just me... but yesterday was just another eye-opener that I need to start getting stricter with him in public.He just ...

Blog Slacker
2008-01-23 16:57:00 Yup! That's me! I really don't have any good excuses. I'm sure I've had plenty to blog about... I just haven't felt much like blogging. I've been keeping busy with working at the antique mall, homeschool with the kids and visiting my mom in the nursing home as much as I can.Speaking of homeschool, we've been doing this since 1996. I had planned on being done in about 5 years when the girls graduate, but then Jaxson came along. He's 2 now and Troy and I have been pondering whether we will homeschool him or not. There's much to consider and we still have a few years to make a decision. My mom's health hasn't been good. We suspect she has uterine cancer, but because of her numerous health problems, she isn't a good candidate for surgery or treatment. All they can do for her now is give her platelets when they fall too low. I had hopes for 2008 being a good year, but I sense that it is going to be topsy turvy. In a perfect world my mom would be around forever and h...

Slacker Mom Confessions
2007-09-29 07:04:00 I've been doing a lot of confessing lately and now I want to hear your slacker mom confessions. No rolling your eyes. You know you've got one. Get it off your chest. Let me commiserate with you. Come on, come out and play with me. Let's make this fun.That's right. I'm having a Slacker Mom Confessions Contest and I challenge you to beat my latest slacker mom confession. Remember the poop I left in the tub for three days? (Which I don't recommend because it requires some major scrubbing to remove it from the tub.)Here's the gist of it if you missed the poop in the tub saga. No, it was not my poop. My little Marigrace left me the lovely present during her bath. Being the slacker mom that I am I did not clean it right away. I thought I would get to it later but I forgot and continued to forget as my family grew more and more disgusted. It became the Great Poop Standoff between me and my hubby. There was no way he was going to clean it up. It happened on my shift so it was my mess...
Slacker mom trying not to slack
2007-09-10 16:46:00 Here is the update to the update of my Smart Discipline post.The charts continue to work really well for Isabelle and Connor. Their behavior has greatly improved with their quest to not get any X's on their charts. Madeline of course had to find a loop hole in the chart but is quickly finding out that mommy means business this time.Saturday was an exhausting day of dealing with her trying to get her way. Her tantrums must have pooped her out because she didn't put up too much of a fight about not having a pillow and blanket at bedtime. She did fight me on it last night though. I had to really fight the urge to give in as she tried to convince me that she should earn them back since she did eventually make her bed. Every time I thought My God, what kind of mother sends her kid to bed without a pillow and blanket? I reminded myself of how it would set us back and I've come too far to let that happen. This is such an important learning lesson for us both.It wasn't easy though. She ...
Slacker mom confession
2007-09-05 19:31:00 I feel defeated and depleted. My family has just about sucked the life out of me. Thankfully my kids returned to school yesterday because I've become dangerously close to completely losing my mind.The last month of summer was a very difficult time for our family with having to bury our nephew and our dog within two weeks of each other. On top of that it became very obvious to me that my parenting skills need a makeover in the discipline department. The constant fighting, whining, arguing, backtalking, and lack of cooperation from my kids has worn me down. I'm not enjoying them and they are not enjoying me.How did I get to this point? I have a bookshelf full of parenting and discipline books that I have read over the years. I know what I'm supposed to do to be a good parent. I've managed to raise kids who don't get in trouble at school and who know how to behave in public. We have taken all four of them to church, out to dinner, and on airplanes since they were infants and have ...

Slacker Chic
2007-08-20 06:00:00 I hesitate to write something that will so easily date me, but when I was in high school and college, the whole "slacker" thing was big. Really big. We were inundated with grunge music, all that Generation X analysis, and endless movies and TV shows celebrating ironic detachment and checking-out of the meaningless and phony race of life. I can’t speak for all of the wannabe slackers of my generation, but I know that my teens and early twenties were a time when I realized that the easiest route to appearing “cool” was by being irritatingly cynical about achievement, sincerity, idealism, success, and so on. Of course eventually, I grew up and got a real job, had to deal with actual bills, and realized the merits of achievement and believing in something bigger than myself. Not to mention that when my sons were born, I noticed the hollowness of hip irony in the face of life’s greatest (and most sincere) moments. So I hadn’t really thought about the slacker...
Slacker Cats: Press Release
2007-08-13 00:53:00 If you are like me, tomorrow you will be glued to the computer screen watching the latest installment of Trapped in the Closet on a loop all day. But for those that can pull themselves away from the Balled of Rufus and Chuck (or Bridget and the Midget, couldn?t R. Kelly at least give a hint of who the next chapter will focus on) Monday also sees the debut of the latest show from ABC Family, Slacker Cats which debuts at 10:00. But don?t expect to watch this show during breakfast as the show looks to be more Adult Swim than the Saturday morning one we remember from our youth. And really, I can?t imagine how elated Pat Robertson will be to finally have a original series lead into his 700 Club instead of the usual Mary-Kate and Ashley movie of the week.As for the show itself, I?m not sure if I can get into a show that features cats with belly button rings. Now I try to stay as far away from cats as much as possible, but I am pretty sure cats do not have belly buttons. Plus the cast is p...

Breaking the slacker image
2007-07-06 00:36:00 An article about Matt Ringel, the commissioner of the World Series of Video Games:LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Matt Ringel knows there's a certain image that comes to mind when you start talking about hardcore video gamers: think teenage boys with messy hair and dark circles under their eyes from staying up all night, their eyes glued to a screen and their fingers frantically flitting about a keyboard or a controller.It's an image Ringel knows well. A passionate gamer even as he closes in on 40, Ringel has spent his fair share of long nights playing with his friends.But now as the commissioner of the World Series of Video Games, Ringel is eager to dispel the notion of gamers as soda-swilling, junk food-eating slackers with an aversion to showers and social activity.The majority of the players who will compete in one of the handful of World Series events this year have a life, Ringel said. Even better, they have personality."These guys, it's totally antithetical to 'the lazy gamer,'" ...

Forever a slacker
2007-06-13 06:00:00 I am always impressed by people's ability to work really hard and accomplish great things. I, on the other hand, am a total slacker. Sure, I do a good job at work, but I mostly ride on my "natural ability". When I was a senior in high school, I received an award for achievement in mathematics and unlike the other award recipients, had no extra work they could credit me for, so they gave it to me for "natural ability". I always did the minimum amount of work to get the A+ and not one iota more. Sometimes I call it "efficiency". I did have to bust butt to get a decent GPA at MIT as the workload there is for superhumans. I'm probably selling myself short, as I've definitely put my share of long hours and huge efforts at work, but for the most part, I do just enough to be "exceeding" and don't put in the extra effort to be "outstanding". I've got a life to live after all!And then once in a while, I hear stories such as these and feel guilty that I'm really not contributing...
