Why Do I Keep Buying Them Stickers?

(and for those not following the events in Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan, Ohio and other places- these are over 65,000 signatures against SB5 in Ohio. The Republican Ohio House leader ordered them removed from the hearing room. Apparently they were speaking too loudly.)

They Didn't Want Left Out

Since the other kids had their rooms posted, X wanted his posted too.

X's jungle themed room (the animals match his comforter which is of course balled up on the floor)






And not to be left out here is K's farm themed room

At Least She is Honest

K ran into my office the other day doing this crying/whining thing she does always , often , occasionally.
So of course I asked "why are you crying?"

Her response
"I'm not crying, I'm whining because I hurt my foot on a Lego."

Weekend Wisdom

Yeah- I know this is the same quote I posted last weekend but it has been a very discouraging week watching what is going on politically around the country and the quote gives me some hope that eventually we can take our country back from the corporations that are currently running it.

The challenge remains. On the other side are formidable forces: money, political power, the major media.

On our side are the people of the world and a power greater than money or weapons: the truth.

Truth has a power of its own.

Art has a power of its own.

That age-old lesson – that everything we do matters – is the meaning of the people’s struggle here in the United States and everywhere.

A poem can inspire a movement.

A pamphlet can spark a revolution.

Civil disobedience can arouse people and provoke us to think, when we organize with one another, when we get involved, when we stand up and speak out together, we can create a power no government can suppress.

We live in a beautiful country.

But people who have no respect for human life, freedom, or justice have taken it over.

It is now up to all of us to take it back.

—Howard Zinn

The Great Room Move Round Two

Which was finished months ago recently. However, every time I thought about taking the photos for this post, I would remember that maybe midnight isn't the best time to take photos of a bedroom. Finally, thanks to a interesting sticker episode (to be discussed in an upcoming post) I had the camera in the room during day light and as an added bonus the room was mostly clean. Since I figured that was as good as it was going to get- without further ado....
D would like to present her new room
