Saturday Surfing

Some Old Things I Bookmarked…(has it really been nearly a month since my last Saturday Surfing post?):

  • Dear Mr. Akin, I Want You to Imagine…, Huffington Post — Eve Ensler’s response to Todd Akin’s comments about legitimate rape.
  • An Immune Disorder at the Root of Autism, The New York Times — At least a subset of autism — perhaps one-third, and very likely more — looks like a type of inflammatory disease. And it begins in the womb.  Really interesting look at how the prenatal experience can impact the fetus.
  • Study Reveals The Geography of Charitable Giving, NPR —  New study by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, which breaks charitable giving down by ZIP code. It found that generosity varies greatly from one region of the country to another.
  • I Wish My Mother Had Aborted Me, Role/Reboot — Lynn Beisner explains the difference between the two phrases “The best choice for both my mother and me would have been abortion” and “I wish I had never been born.”
  • What if we regulated junk food the way we do alcohol?, Los Angeles Times — Food, food, everywhere, much of it junk. Perhaps we should control it the same way we do alcohol, two scientists say.  I love this idea.
  • Why I Don’t Buy Made in China for My Baby as a Beijing Expat, InCulture Parent — Essay from a mom living in China about the quality of baby products available there and the differences in attitudes about child rearing.
  • Young and Homeless, The New York Times — Poignant photo essay of homeless teens and children.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
