Momma Teacher Lady: The Dentist and Why I Hate Packaging Engineers
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2011/06/dentist-and-why-i-hate-packaging.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. The Dentist and Why I Hate Packaging Engineers. Today was Gavin's first trip to the dentist. Now, me, I hate. Now, let me explain how I imagined this in my head: We go to Meijer. We head to the toy department. We find a new Buzz Light Year for, oh, $5.99 or maybe even $9.99 (if it has "karate chop action"). It would be roughly 6 - 8 inches in size, and everyone is happy. Old Buzz (tiny) and new Buzz. The toy, but ...

Momma Teacher Lady: December 2012
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Thursday, December 13, 2012. For Someone I Love . . . Life is not fair. No, it's not. Not at all. Our parents have been telling us this since we were young. "Life isn't fair. Deal with it." Maybe we didn't want to believe it, but now we have no choice - life keeps showing us that fairness is nonexistent . . . over and over and over again. People are not always kind. No, they're not. Not at all. But that doesn't mean all. Life has brought...

Momma Teacher Lady: No, your body doesn't do that.
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2012/08/no-your-body-doesnt-do-that.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Thursday, August 30, 2012. No, your body doesn't do that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, . . . not so much. For the most part, it hasn't been to weird, and I haven't had to answer to many uncomfortable questions. I mean, there was, "Mommy, why do you feed Kaleb from your tummy? I don't have to explain boobs to him! Because, Gavin, that's just how I feed him.". Mommy, why don't you feed Kaleb with a bottle?

Momma Teacher Lady: The World's Most Annoying Toy
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2011/07/worlds-most-annoying-toy.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Sunday, July 24, 2011. The World's Most Annoying Toy. A few months before Christmas last year, I sat down with Gavin, and we looked through some toy ads. I was attempting to have him write a letter to Santa about what he wanted for Christmas. It was a struggle because he didn't quite understand the concept. Who is this Santa guy? Why is he bringing me toys? Why do I have to tell him what I want? As with most things, this was easier said ...

Momma Teacher Lady: September 2012
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Wednesday, September 5, 2012. Because it's easy to forget. He's only 4 years old. But, he's only 4. He's only 4, but he seems so much older. I'm not sure if it's because he can carry on pretty advanced conversations, but I look at him daily, and I think, "He's only 4.". He's only 4, and, sure, he needs to learn good behavior, but he also needs a little grace and understanding. It's hard to be 4, I'm sure. It's hard to have feelin...He's ...

Momma Teacher Lady: Well, Wash My Mouth Out With Soap!
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2012/02/well-wash-my-mouth-out-with-soap.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Well, Wash My Mouth Out With Soap! If you know me well, you know I swear. Probably too much. Okay, probably way. Too much. I should try. Until . . . A few days ago when the car slid in the snow, and Gavin shouted from the backseat, "Oh, shit! He kicked the dog's butt and said, "Get your ass out of here! He opened the back door and said, "I don't want to go outside; it's f* cking cold out there! So, I guess I'll...

Momma Teacher Lady: June 2012

Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Sunday, June 24, 2012. That is such a great idea that I think I'll pass on it. His most recent "great ideas" include:. Getting a pet snake. Building a pirate ship and taking it down to Florida. Baking chicken cupcakes and putting ketchup and maple syrup on top of them. Buying a real rocket ship and flying it into outer space. So, somewhere, Gavin got the idea that he wanted to have a luau. And, me? I was like, "Yes! That's a great idea!

Momma Teacher Lady: First Cavity: Part I
http://mommateacherlady.blogspot.com/2011/07/first-cavity-part-i.html
Honest (and often hilarious) truths about motherhood and education. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. First Cavity: Part I. You give him laughing gas right? Or you completely knock him out? Nope Just a shot. Nothing else. Hmm, this doesn't seem right to me. I can't imagine that this is going to go very well. I mean, he's 3. Should've listened to my gut. Waiting for the dentist. Not a big fan of sitting still. I want to punch you in the face right now. He's been asking for a new toy all morning. He did so well wit...
