The Pack mentality of Five sleep over Girls

Ok, summer is almost here.
It’s bad enough I’m torn up inside because my little girls is going away for the summer. She’s spending it in NY with the Aunt and Grandparents. It’s sort of the last chance she has to experience the Big city [ you know where Mom and Dad grew up]. It may be the last summer she’ll be able to go since Granddad is retiring and moving to Florida.

So what does my wife agree to - one last opportunity for my daughter and four of her friends to have a big blow out slumber party- great….

First - I don’t want to share my daughters last weekend with others [ especially four screaming girls ].

Second - How am I going to escape the giggling, screaming, wacky antics of five pre-teen girls running around my house. I have trouble dealing just with the two women who live in my house - but now I’ll have five tweens and one adult women [ who will probably re-live her childhood fantasies through these girls ]

Well, preteen girls absolutely love scary movies. That would be a good way to keep them busy. Pop some popcorn, maybe make smores. I'm sure your wife will help with the makeover time that will be alloted. Not quite sure if you allow your daughter to get on the internet much, but the computer seems to suck up ones time as well.

I can see how being a parent would welcome alone time! Oh, how I am glad to be without kids, kickin' at 20 years old.

In Poor taste - you be the judge

In poor taste? My significant other saw a video clip [ part of a video ] I was creating and said that it was done in “poor taste” on my part. Well, I’ll let you be the judge of the complete work. The goal behind this video was to help me talk about the “Effects Movies can have on children”. You see, we let our kids watch just about anything on TV, videos, internet or in the movies. I don’t mean you personally or I myself - I personally try very hard to shield my kids from a lot of programming on TV. But I will admit that America as a whole - parents don’t really concern themselves with what their kids watch. I also admit that there are times I let them watch things they really shouldn’t. Not because it’s bad but because it can effect them adversely. I know this will sound silly and it’s embarrassing to me - but I a grown adult can’t seem to take a shower or use the bathroom without wondering if someone is just on the other side of that shower curtain. Really, Psycho [ Hitchcock's o...

How do you Save money while at Walt Disney World magic Kingdom? Dad needs to save money and yet have a nice Family Disney Vacation - I know you might think it's just me being cheap, or that the economy is so bad that every penny counts [ you are right! ]... In away I just want to give my family an experience they'll remember and that won't put us in the poor house. Yes I'm still planning on taking the family to walt Disney World - visit the "House of Mouse" Mickey Mouse that is.

And while the Magic is about the Magic Kingdom - the cost of $19.99 for this "Save money at Walt Disney World guide" is not...

A true lesson in humility

A lesson in Humility from a King. I am sure we've all done it, I know I have. You sit there upset because you know you deserve better. In fact you expect better - after all - your special. My kids do it all the time - they act like things are a given - they forget and I occasionally have to remind them that my love for them does not make them deserving of everything. You still have to work for things and you can't get everything you want. But I ran across this news video [ posted below - excuse the ad ] - it reports on this African King who is in New York and he drives a bus. Unlike the Eddie Murphy movie "coming to America" he isn't rich - but he is humble. He doesn't want people to know that he is a King. In fact he is here working hard to help 20,000 people that live in his tiny kingdom village - he's trying to build a well for drinking water. Which surprised me. You see, my first thought was - hey a bus driver who learns he's a king - boy he has it...
