Life with Teen: A Study

Posted by: missconstrued on: June 22, 2009

On Patience? Maybe I’m cheating, but I went out and bought a copy of Love and Logic – teen edition. I used that book in the classroom and had great results with it. I thought it would give me some pointers for how to interact with (I had to not type REACT to) Kid 1.
I [...]

Hello Anxiety, My Old Friend.

Posted by: missconstrued on: February 4, 2009

Isn’t there a song?
It’s something o’clock in the morning. Ah yes. Billy Joel.
For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I am up at 3:00 in the morning. No, I’m not running this morning.
Yesterday, when I got home at 8:35 after dinner with my parents, I was EXHAUSTED. I barely had the energy to read two lines [...]

This Female will Self-Destruct in 3…2…1…

Posted by: missconstrued on: December 11, 2008

I don’t remember *EVER* being this stressed out. Yes. I know I get cranky when I don’t exercise, and it is NOT because of that. I have been activity-ing my ASS OFF! ASSOFF! Running, yoga, clean, clean, clean…
I feel like I am having multiple days of Adam Sandler a la The Wedding Singer. This is [...]

In No Particular Order.

1.) I filled up the TT for the first time the other day. 50 dollars. 50! When I told dh that I was getting screwed without getting taken out to dinner first, he laughed. Apparently, I don’t speak that way oftenly.
2.) I had Buffalo Wings tonight at the Original BUFFALO WING BAR – the Anchor Bar. [...]

Ka-Boom II. Intermission.

Posted by: missconstrued on: March 21, 2008

I spoke to a friend after firing off the last blog entry. She pointed out that I repeated at least 3 times that I need a break, and I guess I do. I just really need to get away and get some perspective. Which points to the boat trip. I was offered a room, but [...]

Katie Ka-BOOM.

Posted by: missconstrued on: March 21, 2008

Yesterday, I got an e-mail from td’s teacher, saying that while he was a very good cook, he didn’t try anything he ate, and that it saddened her to see his choices. I forwarded it on to dh, and e-mailed him this:
It’s kind of long, sorry.
I heard from your teachers today. Unsolicited (meaning that I [...]

Can of Worms

Posted by: missconstrued on: March 16, 2008

When I submitted the piece about my ectopic pregnancy a couple weeks ago, I didn’t really think that I was giving it another thought. Psssh…it was 5 years ago…4 years ago? Eons ago, anyway. In Japan. The Land of the Rising Sons.
But I can’t seem to put it down and walk away. This infertility. That [...]

Aha! Moment: #3589

Posted by: missconstrued on: January 31, 2008

As a teacher (gee, RQ, couldja mention that 1 MORE TIME? Because I don’t think we caught it the first 53 billion times you said it.), I’m often looking for the AHA! moment in my kids’ eyes. When I have finally explained things the right way and HALLELUJAH! THEY GET IT! Those looks make my day.
Today, [...]

DysFUnctional Barbie

Posted by: missconstrued on: October 4, 2007

Suffice it to say that all work,soccer and no running make rq a VERY ANGRY girl. I’ve run my whole life. I started when I was 5, with Rachel. She would pick me up two or three times a week and we would run around the Micro Beach Area. I always liked it, and I [...]
