I really love posting. I do. And I apologize for being so lame about posting regularly. But I have a good excuse. Seriously, I do. We just started homeschooling Jack. And by proxy, I guess Emmett too.
Somebody that Chris works with asked him once- "Are you and Kara some kind of anarchists?". Not even hippies- anarchists. That's how extreme our parenting choices may seem to some people. Sure I breastfeed my children at an age where I find it cute that they can sing ABC's with my nipple in their mouth. And yes, we bring Emmett to the chiropractor for an ear infection. And circumcision? Forget about it. Chris and I take pride in the fact that Jack's penis gets an extra inch or so of hang. Our dear friend (and you know who you are) once said, "Does Jack have a lot of foreskin? You can tell from his walk that he's got a lot." (Correct me if I quoted you wrong, by the way.) I guess we parent a little differently from most parents in this country, but Anarchists? Hmmm...
So- yeah, homeschooling. We couldn't bring ourselves to send Jack to the local school. Instead I opted to be utterly exhausted at the end of every day only to find myself on the computer looking up workbooks and curriculum and looking through message boards posting the homeschool gatherings, workshops, classes, etc. But the little bugger is all the better for it, and I guess so am I. It keeps me from boozing it up and doing meth all day long. Kids- they keep you young.
Listen- my entries may be brief, disjointed, and sporadic, but I will continue to post. It's the only outlet I've got at this point. And as for my husband- what the fuck is his excuse? Nice entry about the tv shows, I just wish he would post more often. His shit is funny.

i believe the actual line was "jack has a certain je na sai que that screams foreskin."
i, on the other hand, do not. perhaps it's my nose. or my tolerance of larry king.
What IS Chris' excuse?
He spends an awful lot of time sitting around this cushy office doing this thing he calls "work" (ie looking at stuff on the internet and forwarding youtube videos)
Kindergarten is exhausting when you send your kid off to experience it separate from you, so for you, Miz RP, I give you major snaps. MAJOR, for making sure Jack and Emmett get the best education available to them, all the while wearing this other hat titles "Best Mom Ever".
I kind of admire you. Kind of.
Just a little. Ok, a lot.
Oh, just an aside though, a little hit on the meth pipe might really help with that exhaustion problem.
omglol.
How I do miss you, lady.

On above comment, when I referred to what "Chris" does at work, I meant to write what "Kristin" does at work. Sometimes I get confused.
Party on, Kara.
i spelled je nais se quoi wrong, but only to highlight my working class roots.
Boom- I just misspelled "having" on your blog. You are totally excused.
Kristin- I am trying to catch up some blog reading over here when I look over and see Emmett feeding himself paper clips with the end of a computer wire. Yeah. GREAT mother.
Paper clips are totally digestible.
Take it from one great mother to another.
