Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Being a Mom Is Not a Job, The Juggle — Motherhood as a relationship not a job, despite what politicians might tell you about how their wives have the hardest jobs.
  • The Bond of Blueberry Jam, Motherlode — I love this post about a mother canning with her daughter.
  • Is Alzheimer’s Type 3 Diabetes?, NY Times — More and more research is showing that Alzheimer’s could well be a form of diet-induced diabetes.
  • Living Under Drones: Death, Injury, and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan, a report from the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic at Stanford Law School and the Global Justice Clinic at NYU’s School of Law — “In the United States, the dominant narrative about the use of drones in Pakistan is of a surgically precise and effective tool that makes the US safer by enabling “targeted killing” of terrorists, with minimal downsides or collateral impacts. This narrative is false. Following nine months of intensive research—including two investigations in Pakistan, more than 130 interviews with victims, witnesses, and experts, and review of thousands of pages of documentation and media reporting—this report presents evidence of the damaging and counterproductive effects of current US drone strike policies.”
  • North Dakota Home Garden Variety Trials — One of the bloggers I follow did this this year and it sounds so cool!  Wish Mass had a similar program (and I wish I actually had a yard with space for a garden).
  • Why Do Women Use Birth Control? It’s the Economy, Stupid., Slate — XXfactor response to a new study from the Guttmacher Institute about why nearly all American women use birth control.

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. 😂
