Correction on a previous blog post

I do not expect my SIL to have her children call me Mrs. Scott. I'm Aunt Kate! However, my SIL is head of the nursery at my church and she introduces me to the other children as Miss Kate.

I really don't mind being called Kate by those who I am familiar with, but when I'm in a position of authority, I'd rather be called Mrs. Scott.

My bus ride was horrible as well. First I'll say that I went to a 'good' school. There were no gangs, very little violence ect. But I did happen to live on one of the worst bus routes. We learned drug songs, sex ed songs, blew up um...contraceptives to use as balloons, and I even had one person threaten to cut off my ears!! Mostly I did what you did, (just stared out the window) but I was made fun of for that too. Only once did the bus driver take the radio away as a punishment, but the little ones started learning the songs that the older ones were singing, and she had to put a stop to that!! I was lucky, my mom worked at the school, so from 2nd grade until later jr. high, I didn't ride much. But I sure learned a lot during those last couple of years!!

We homeschool, but our district (the same that my dh and I went to) has grown a lot, though still concidered the better district in the area. But they have gotten so big that they now have the jr. high and high school go earlier in the morning, and the youngers go about an hour later. Now the youngers don't ride the same bus as the olders. That has got to have helped!!

That's still bizarre. They're little kids. A position of authority? I pray your husband never leaves you because you're entire sense of self worth is tied up in being a Mrs. How about being a warm loving person? You seem very angry all the time.

When did good manners become equated with the bizarre???

Kate IS a warm, loving person. As to her seeming angry, it is very easy to incorrectly assume that certain emotions are behind printed words because you cannot see the person's face or hear their voice inflections.

I personally feel that anyone that doesn't identify themselves and only posts as anonymous is either a coward and cannot back up what they say when questioned, or life in fear of their own beliefs.

Keep up the good work, Mrs. Scott!! You are an inspiration!

That's funny because I never pictured you as an angry person. You always come across as a creative, happy person in your little domain. As kids we were expected to refer to adult with a title of respect that they were comfortable with. What about honoring the hoary head? Even though I assume yours is not;-). There is still a principle.
Carry on, my good Lady Scott.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
