    When summer arrives here on the Jersey Shore we start hearing the roar of boat motors. On any given day you can look out into the bay and see lots of boats and personal watercraft having a good time. Of course, as the number of boaters increase so does the chance that some of […]

    I want to Share Some Good Stuff this week pertaining to graduations. For the last few weeks around the country schools have held their graduations. As covered in the Daily Record, recently Governor Corzine( of NJ, where I live) passed Alicia’s Law (S.442), making it effective immediately. Alicia’s Law, for those unfamiliar, states that special […]

  • Oops, I forgot the presents| 1 Comment

    Tomorrow is the last day of school. It’s now going on 11 pm and I’ve just realized that I don’t have gifts for my son’s teachers, therapists and aide. I intended to run out earlier when I dropped TJ at Scouts but had a change in plans and it completely slipped my mind. I have […]

  • Spring break is underway| 1 Comment

    Well, as of this past Friday afternoon my two sons were officially on spring break. They don’t have school for the next week. Lucky devils! Unfortunately for them, we still have to work, so they can’t just lay in bed all morning. They can sleep a little later though. My oldest wanted to know why […]

  • Coop education, a head start on the competition| Comments Off

    Having attended college I know how frustrating it can be to have to work in an unrelated field while in school to earn money, and to graduate and look for a job only to be told you don’t have the necessary experience. After seeing mention of college co-op programs earlier this week I wanted to […]

  • Snow day| 1 Comment

    Well as it turns out my older son didn’t need to worry about missing school and not having perfect attendance. It snowed during the night, not blizzard snow but enough to make things messy for us. When I left here at 5:30am to go to work the roads hadn’t been plowed, sanded or salted and […]

  • School attendance| Comments Off

    My older son is sick. He developed a cough on Monday after his well visit. He tried to blame the cough on his booster shot. Nice try bud. Tonight I took him back to the doc to find out that he has bronchitis and the flu. One of his prescriptions is a huge horse pill […]

  • I’m considering expanding my educational background.| Comments Off

    I’ve always believed a person is never too old to learn, that education and knowledge are good things, and that it’s a good policy to try and learn something new every day. Earlier this week I had to go to the county Superior Court to represent my job. I’d been to the court once before […]

  • A message for my Mom.| 1 Comment

    Last night I attended the New Jersey PTA awards dinner, held in Atlantic City. I was attending because I was receiving the NJ State PTA award for Outstanding Website. I am very proud to have won this award. My Mom went to this dinner last year and told me it wasn’t worth the money […]

  • How do you feel about fundraisers?| 2 Comments

    Tell the truth. Do you cringe when someone asks you to buy something from a school fundraiser? I often do, and here’s why. I don’t want to spend my hard earned money on over priced food or gift wrap. I’d rather buy things that support and promote the organization I’m being asked to help support. […]

  • Loving the new schcool attitude| Comments Off

    My eleven year old has never loved school. He’s a very bright child who often doesn’t work to his potential. He’s in sixth grade this year. As I mentioned less than two weeks ago, progress reports came home and his wasn’t too bad. He has seemed to take more of an interest this year. Now […]

  • Learn how your child might be rewarded if you watch 3 hours of tv| Comments Off

    I wrote my concerns about paying for college in this blog just the other day. Today I learned of an opportunity I will not be passing up. Proctor and Gamble is having a $50,000 College Education Sweepstakes that you are eligible to enter in return for watching three hours of tv. They are asking that […]

  • How will we pay for college?| 2 Comments

    First semester progress reports came home this week. My older son didn’t do that badly but it was not his best. He has an 89.4 average in science and an 89.0 average in math. He has now learned how averages work - how a 70 will pull down the 93, 95 and 100s that he […]
