Parenthood and the pursuit of happiness. Monday, or another story about pee. December 8th, 2014. My students took the full three hours to write their final exam today. It might be a record. Wait, I think this happened, maybe, oh. two years ago. Usually, they write what they must and then leave so fast their shoes leave burn marks on the industrial-grade carpet. This meant I ran late, too. They run late, I run late. So, "Fast as bunnies, Taylor, let's change fast as bunnies! We got out to the van at 3:37 ...

Parenthood and the pursuit of happiness. Entries by tag: opinion. August 8th, 13:57. These days, I've been grieving hard. I was so grateful you weren't in pain anymore for a very long time, and now, I'm just terribly broken. I've requested two exemptions to the boundary. One before the school opened two years ago. And one three weeks ago. Each one denied. For what reason? Just because those neocolonial assholes want to piss everywhere, it doesn't mean I mess with my kids' stability. I've decided to give ...

Parenthood and the pursuit of happiness. Cher conseil centre est. August 12th, 2014. Dear Conseil Centre Est,. All this was after a night spent worrying. The secretary (though informed of our visit) made no attempt to be friendly or welcoming, and the immersion program had so few students that grades 1, 2 and 3 shared a classroom. The Russian immersion program was growing, and I had no desire to put my children in what seemed to be a dying French program. So, I looked to Beausejour. It I still love.

Parenthood and the pursuit of happiness. August 5th, 2014. We are not good at documenting the beauty and majesty that is a young family. To me, it seems pretty plastic, but that just might be my cheap side talking. All that aside, I started noticing a distinct lack of family photos in the iPhone, on the hard drive, and on my walls. In fact, in January, we had our first family photo in two and a half years at the Harry Potter Exhibit in Edmonton. It went like this. These were pretty good, too. Really show...
