Michigan Says Mom Can't Watch Kids at Bus Stop

A Michigan woman who was watching neighborhood children who were waiting for the bus has been ordered to stop because she is an unlicensed daycare provider. Her "daycare" consists of allowing the kids who wait for the bus each morning to wait in her home instead of outside, in her yard...which happens to be where the bus stops.

Obama Proposes Longer School Day, Shorter Summer Vacation - Political News - FOXNews.com

the issue is not the amount of time children spend in school but the amount of time that is spent on actual education. longer days/school years will not resolve this issue. try again mr. president.

pms, premenopause and hysterectomies

it is my squeaky chair and today it is squeaking about cramps. terrible, horrible, hideous cramps. the kind of pain that is so bad you can't sit up, that you want to vomit, that cause your insides to spew forth everything you've eaten and then a few other items. some of you know what i am talking about.

for me this is not a normal occurrence. the last time i felt pain like this i found out i had fibroids the size of a three month pregnancy. the only option i was given was a hysterectomy. not liking the idea i did some research and found that i did in fact have many other options available. i got a second opinion who recommended hormone treatments. but here's the thing - hormones ease the pain but increase the rate of growth of the benign tumors. well that option didn't help at all. the pain killers did help some.

more reading and research lead me to homeopathic treatments. i began using a mix of nature hormones and herbs. the pain stopped. by the next year the tumors had not grown and were actually a tad smaller.

this is the path i have followed in the years since. in the last year i've been rather lax about it though and now i am having these horrible pains again. but this time i am older and am considering the hysterectomy option. i would prefer to keep all my organs as i believe god put them there for a purpose. if they didn't have a purpose wouldn't they just disappear after menopause anyway? however the idea of not experiencing this pain again is too tempting to just disregard the option completely.

to rip it out or not to rip it out...that is the question

this is wrong. if the girl is well adjusted, has friends and participates in activities then home schooling is fine. i do not think people realize the image of home schooling from 20 years ago is no longer accurate. the parents and kids i know that home school are amazing. the parents are devoted. the kids are smart, intelligent, able to converse with both kids and adults.
