Isn’t a noose a “loop hole” ?
So my daughter goes to a summer camp about a forty minute drive. She does not stay in the school district since they do not have an appropriate program for her, so they send her out. That’s ok. Her IEP (special school plan thing) specifies that she must have a nurse with her during any

Happy Mother’s Day
So, when a kid is a year or two old, someone helps him or her with a present for mom on mother’s day. The mom will get a card with a fake signature from the kid. Nothing is wrong with this, it is a way to try to engage the child and teach him or

Valium – Mother’s little helper
So I was gone for four days … the nanny stayed with my daughter. She will be leaving us after two weeks (a good thing …). I go to put together evening meds for my daughter yesterday and discover something curious. We are 50 mg short of Valium … I know this for a fact,
