Letters of Muse: July 2014
http://www.letters-of-muse.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 20, 2014. A couple of years ago- well, precisely 4 years ago- I took DD to see Ramona and Beezus. On the big screen. I remember walking out of the theater with all the feels. You see, I had read Beezus and Ramona,. Fast forward four years. Two months ago, I had finally relented and gave the book The Fault in Our Stars. But I had it on my Kindle and she was asking for a new book. Again. Yesterday, we had another Mother-Daughter Movie Date. And The Maze Runner. Because Hazel Grace and her big,...

Letters of Muse: February 2014

Wednesday, February 26, 2014. I don't always do the right things as a parent. I don't always ask the kids to set the table. I don't ask them to take out the trash. I don't have a chore list that they must check off every day or week. I don't hold back from doing things for them instead of helping them become more independent. I don't speak enough Chinese to them. I don't enter them in music competitions. I don't always put them in summer enrichment camps outside of school. A person I hope to be more like:.

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Like that of a roller coaster ride. A few months into teaching after 11. Years off, a friend shared this image. With me after I had confessed how incredibly overwhelmed I had been. I am responsible for all of these kids. I have to do things right. In reading lessons, the kids stared at me, ready to learn, with expressions of "okay, teach me. And I sat there, gesturing and talking, really hoping that I looked like I knew what I was doing. At me, I was at risk of shattering into a...

Letters of Muse: January 2014
http://www.letters-of-muse.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 28, 2014. I'm so good at jinxing myself. Just as soon as I lifted my self-imposed cage off this blog and can write as freely as an uncaged bird, I find myself coming up empty. Nothing interesting has happened lately, and it's too cold to do. Justifies DH on my behalf. The kiddos haven't said or done anything funny, and I just haven't had any writing inspiration. It's all cuz of this unreasonable, intolerable, and insufferable cold weather. We are having another. Of our windows . So, I'll...

Monday, June 30, 2014. How often do you mean to say one thing but something else entirely different comes out of your mouth? Better yet, how often do you mean to say A but say B and don't even realize it? DH: Put your shoes on. It's hot today, so just put on your flippers. DD: Um, you mean. Nine out of ten times, he'll miss these two terms:. DS: Can I have dessert now? DH: Sure, you can have a Dum Dum. Go pick a popsicle flavor. DH: It's good day for a lollipop. Go get one from the freezer. Even Miss Wor...

Friday, July 11, 2014. Summer school is over and my summer has officially begun. Like a little kid who has all the time in the world and no obligations whatsoever, I've been indulging in Summer Bliss. Not surprisingly, I've been busy in the kitchen. I've reacquainted myself with my oven, oven mitts, measuring cups and spoons, stand mixer, stove, cookware, and the pantry, and I even have fresh ingredients in the fridge and from. The Farm to work with. I tell ya. Bliss. All you need is:. Blueberries (fresh...

Letters of Muse: (Dis)Order

Tuesday, February 11, 2014. And they all possess a very special trait: proper alignment. Each book is aligned exactly the same distance from the edge of the bookshelf as another. All the books are flushed against an imaginary line about an inch into the shelf. This behavior was so amusing to me that there may. Have been occasions where every few books or so got. Pushed in all the way in to the back of the shelf. Cuz there'd be some serious reaction from. The process is methodical, yet can be creative bas...
