Mashup smashup - I just want to add a photo!

Wow, this photo stuff is amazing. Since I think Labs Rule, Retrievr is my favorite although with my drawing skill I doubt that I'll get a match. Captioner is cute too. The others are way over my head and seem to be aimed at major computer geeks.

But the Library Trading Cards are awesome! We need to have these for everyone in the county! I love the avatar ones and the descriptions. In fact, they would make great business cards or we could use them as name tags.

Internet Safety

I think that internet safety is important for children and for those who are using credit cards online. However, just as some people have lost their minds about using their credit cards and are now carrying large sums of cash, which to me seems much more dangerous, internet safety can be taken to extremes. If the people who are posting were concerned about others seeing their information, they wouldn't put it out there. Anyone who is capable of posting information is capable of understanding that NOTHING on the internet is private and it could get out regardless of safeguards.

September 18, 2007 Afternoon

I was thinking about learning styles and I noticed that my son and I have a lot in common. We are both very hands on and learn best when we can do as we watch. My husband is one of those lucky people who can read about something and understand how it works. I don't think I could read about how to open a book and then do it without someone showing me.

Just wanted to take a few minutes to remember why I became a mom. Oh, yes. Because I wanted a sweet, intelligent, beautiful child to share my life with. Well, I got the sweet, intelligent and beautiful but they didn't tell me that I would also have to put up with stubborn, whiney and spoiled. Not to mention greedy. Actually, at six years old the whiney is winding down. The stubborn is about the same, (spoiled is grandma's problem) but the greedy is driving me crazy! My son wants EVERYTHING he sees on TV, every toy at the store, everything that his friends have. In fact, he will even take the dog's toy if it looks interesting enough. I had one child (for several reasons) but one of the main one's was because I did not want to be a referee. Well, that didn't work since I now have to protect the dog.
