I’m sick with my very first cold of the season (already!! arrgghh!) and buried under a mountain of homework that I’m currently avoiding (arrgghh!!) and Owen’s STILL stuck in the eternal torment that is teething (arrgghh!!).
However, I have two things on my mind:
1) Who is Trena Stretch and why do people who are searching for her (him? it??) keep coming to my blog? Not that I mind, (seriously, please come on in, take your shoes off and stay a while!) but I have no more answers after doing a couple of searches and it keeps popping up as the referring link.
2) I was reading an article in Parenting today about how it is becoming more and more common to send your 4 year old to a prep/tutoring program. This just totally bugs me. Not that I want Owen’s intelligence to be comparable to say, the IQ of a box of hair, but at 4 (or 14 months for that matter) I’m not exactly worried about his potential for getting into an ‘A’ school.
Discuss.

I think so many people are putting their kids in these programs because they are too lazy to teach their children themselves. If your kid wants to learn something, teach them instead of paying someone else to do it for you.

I don’t know who Trena Stretch is. Maybe she wanted to weigh in on your mac & cheese debate of yore.

Glittersmama-you’re too funny.
I highly suspect Trena Stretch (who is not me and I am not her) is so so sad that she missed out on the engaging and deep mac and cheese debate of yore. As she well should be.

I wondered if they might mean “Trina” Stretch, so I searched that, and got a lot of hits for a clothing line.
I was going to comment on the school thing but can’t! concentrate! with music!
