A mother's nightmare...a Halloween story

Public schools...............

believe what you want.

but the truth is more disturbing than anything you will ever hear!

I abandon my children every day just so I can have some ME time 40 hours a week.

In the evening, I prepare myself to hear about each one's day....
will this be the story littered with public school horrors that makes me go back to home schooling?
will this be the story with evidence of dangers that force me to stay home?


My son walks home from school through the city streets where dangers, only YOU can imagine, lurk at every turn.
Earlier this week:
"mom, guess what I found on the ground when I was walking home from school today!"

I held my breath.....don't say it...don't say it....

He said it.......

A BOOK OF STAMPS


OH   NOOOOOOO....not stamps!  And with only one missing.....what is this world coming to???
That is it!  I am done with this city!

Max Ziegenhorn earns Valedictorian!!

My oldest recently informed me that his "homeschool" friends were just not enough!

Jack, unlike me, loves to be with people!  He asked us if he could go back school.
We can not afford his school of choice, 
So we said he could go back to public school.


I have experience teaching in Memphis City high schools. 
 I had plenty of advice to give him but I know teens don't want to hear advice, so I gave him two important areas to avoid!


1. Don't go to the bathroom.  Don't go during class time.  If you must go, get out quick.  Freaky stuff goes on in high school bathrooms.  You never know what you may find!


2.  Don't linger in secluded places and never pause near a dumpster. It is a whole different world behind the school!




Jack will return to being a White Station Spartan on Monday!

MAZ famous from birth!

It is no wonder why I like to be famous in the social network.  I was pushed into fame at birth.

My birth was highly publicized in a famous world wide read publication!!

39 years ago, on October 13, 1973, I blessed the world with my presence.
