I have not read the books but from the movie I can see what you mean. It was also very much a woman&#39;s story, me and my friend were riveted whilst the man in the room was bored into sleeping. I have also heard that like so many others the book is way better than the movie.Moyridhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09109060979165835871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-42794407218752570452011-09-06T21:39:31.613-05:002011-09-06T21:39:31.613-05:00My mom led a pretty independent life while I was growing up and I respected her for that. Some of my middle aged siblings still continue to complain about that aspect of their youth. I was the last of the 7 kids, so I think things were different for me too. I am glad my mom took the time to read books, sew, etc. and still does. My dad likes to criticize her for having hobbies, but I think he would be better off with some!<br /><br />As a kid, I remember playing with other kids, being imaginative, enjoying school, etc. which is totally normal!fitinthemidwesthttp://fitinthemidwest.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-15895345940816861342011-09-04T10:00:14.424-05:002011-09-04T10:00:14.424-05:00There was an article I read a while back that said parents should not be entertaining their kids every minute of the day. I need to use that line, &quot;Only bored people stay bored, figure it out,&quot; with my daughter. She&#39;s come to me a couple of times with that one. But she&#39;s also the one that runs outside and stays out there for hours with friends.Wild Childhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09653340334412641577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-31507281464156079752011-09-03T19:30:36.063-05:002011-09-03T19:30:36.063-05:00I love teaching my students To Kill a Mockingbird, for many reasons, but one of those reasons is the way Scout and Jim and Del hang outside until they get bored enough to figure out a way to make life interesting. That is the way we all grew up. In the summer I went out, came in at lunch, went out, came in at for dinner or when the lights came on outside. My students complain of getting bored and I tell them &quot;only boring people stay bored, figure it out.&quot;Pseudohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10430783970802030846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-89649263380913816962011-09-02T21:41:50.680-05:002011-09-02T21:41:50.680-05:00Thanks on the blog paper.

Mine started yesterday too and their age just amazes me. Where are our babies?! <br /><br />As much as we love summer, we were all ready to begin a new year of school. The girls love their teachers and there is a new principal (the third since my girls started) who seems like a good fit for the school, at least better anyhow!<br /><br />Oh, and the sound in this house yesterday was magical.

We have 8 bicycles in our garage. For three people. I have 4 pairs of bike shorts, and about 6 bike shirts. I have shoes, cleats, water bottles, tools to change tires, and what I recommend for you next is a Camelbak. Much more fluid than a water bottle. And you can carry a bunch of stuff you might need in there. Plus a lock?Trasihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16895391457041922055noreply@blogger.com
