Creative Parenting – Vampire Style

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 14, 2009

If your kids start acting up or are lippy I’ve found a way that can get them to listen for at least a moment.  Along with my fondness for True Blood, Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Series, I am starting to gather tidbits from movies and TV shows in hopes of getting my son to listen [...]

Snippets of 6 Year Old Logic

Posted by: queenbee950 on: July 11, 2009

Having a bit of writers block but a few snippets of 6-year old humor are worth sharing….. Driving to the grocery store, Jx1 tells me that when he gets 7 daddy’s going to teach him.  I fall for this and ask, teach you what?  “Teach me to drive.”  Oh, Crap, I thought I had 8 [...]

First Grade Trash-Talk Goes Organic

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 19, 2009

It’s a nice almost-summer day and the kids are at the park playing and the moms are sitting watching them and chatting ourselves. All of the sudden one of the little boys that is in Jx class comes over to me and he is sobbing (I brace for the reality that Jx smacked him or pushed [...]

First Grade Logic

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 9, 2009

We were talking about Jx’s aunties at dinner time and he was a bit confused about who was who (mainly my friends). His dad was telling him about his sisters and when he said Auntie Sx, I chimed in and told him that Uncle Lx (is your uncle). He looked at me and said – [...]

Tyranny For You – Pays Off!

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 4, 2009

Only 1 day of first grade left before summer break and I feel euphoric. Looking through Jx’s backpack today I came across an envelope addressed to the parents of Jx: I instantly got an ache in my stomach as I slowly opened the inevitable Impending doom. I curse at the paper, “what did he do [...]

It’s Like Riding A Bike – Yeah, Right.

Posted by: queenbee950 on: May 31, 2009

Teaching your first grader to ride a two-wheeler is fun, exciting, excruciating and a learning experience for everyone involved. Like most parents we put the training wheels on and our son took off, wobbling all the way down the sidewalk, but thinking he was way cool nonetheless. After a summer of knowing that he was [...]

Cutlets or Buttlets?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: May 24, 2009

I used to have a juicy butt (JB).  It was round and firm and added nice dimension to my jeans.  As I think of the devise of my JB I have to blame it on childbirth (finally something we mom’s can blame on our children.)  Apparently the key to having a JB after you have [...]

Another Letter to the Principal – Too Much Homework

Posted by: queenbee950 on: May 21, 2009

I wrote this letter in November and have not received any resolution in solving this issue.  I think the Taskmaster’s got the goods on the Principal. __________________________________________________________ Dear Principal: Thank you for listening to my concerns about my son Jx’s remaining in the Taskmaster’s 1st grade class. My husband and I concur that Jx should [...]

Third and Final Lie in the Trilogy

Posted by: queenbee950 on: May 21, 2009

The hair I found was not dog hair, it was Jx hair. Yes, Jx is six, he’s in first-grade and he knows the difference between right and wrong but did it anyway, he cut his own hair. I know that this is a phase kids go through; Jx did it when he was 2 or [...]

Lie Number 2 – I Just Wanted To Be A Ghost

Posted by: queenbee950 on: May 21, 2009

Yes, I am a complete and utter sucker and it happened like this. I’m putting away the laundry in the bedrooms and Jx comes in and asks if he can use some powder for his legs, you remember the prickly heat right? I say ok but only a little, “use your hands to pour it [...]
