ghetto housewife: February 2010
http://ghettohousewife.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 13, 2010. Germany vs. Homeschoolers. Germany is arresting homeschoolers, and the European Union is encouraging them. Germany states that its recent history of a splinter group taking over and persecuting minorities makes them uncomfortable with any group that deviates from the norm. So they’ll just persecute the minorities (homeschoolers, in this case) before a splinter group has the chance. School is about social integration? I’m sorry, last I checked school was about education. Is it...

ghetto housewife: May 2009
http://ghettohousewife.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Expounding more upon the previous post. With the new responsibilities of this new position of mine (community garden coordinator) I have faced a whole slew of new insecurities. I would have said- and have said- that I posses a plethora of self-confidence and have conquered my fears of failure. So I was completely unprepared for the onslaught of anxiety that has overtaken me the last few months. . What all these fears- will seeds germinate? Why aren't they germinating? Then the bird...

ghetto housewife: March 2010

Thursday, March 4, 2010. Last Autumn, India and I worked on swinging. Feet in, body forward, ok. feet forward, body back. now. ok, again. patience, patience, patience. Progress, but not yet mastery. Yesterday morning we walked to the playground, and she hopped on a swing and began pumping away, swinging smoothly into the air and quickly gaining altitude. 8220;Good job, India! 8221; I shouted excitedly. 8220;I taught her that at Grandma’s house,” Malachi stated. You did not,. 8220;You did not! At least tw...

ghetto housewife: June 2009
http://ghettohousewife.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. I was feeling disappointed this morning that my children don't share my exuberance for gardening. People ask, "Do the children help you with the garden? And I have to be like. well. yes, but often reluctantly, and usually for only a short period of time. But I quickly came to my own defense in this mental conversation I was having: we garden a lot. And the reality is, my kids also now know a lot. Learning by doing. it's the way to go! Saturday, June 20, 2009. Well, duh, people in ...

ghetto housewife: December 2009
http://ghettohousewife.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Usually at this time of year I am bursting with resentment and rebellion against the entire culture of Christmas- the music, the decorations, and most especially the consumerism that defines the months of November and December in America. This year I feel curiously detached. We can go and clean our friends’ houses (hint hint)- basically, we can celebrate in ways that are meaningful, rather than simply contributing to this cultural mess of consumerism that has brought u...

Saturday, May 22, 2010. I am in a quandary about how to help my children learn to write. I often read things that have been written by fellow Americans and I think gosh, they let this person out of high school? No, they let this person out of college. With an advanced degree. Ouch. We have spent time studying the masters- like Charles Dickens and Shel Silverstein. And I would like to add Charlotte Bronte, James Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain, and so forth to that list. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). You look b...

ghetto housewife: September 2009
http://ghettohousewife.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. To those Drivers on the Road Last Night. I’m writing you a message to remind you of some of the basic rules of driving, which obviously, you’ve forgotten:. 3 Speaking of illegal, the posted speed limit is exactly that. A limit. Not the minimum, but rather, the maximum. Do you understand those large words? Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Letter I wrote to Mother Earth News. On the topic of population control. And more thoughts that I did not include in the letter for brevity's sak...

ghetto housewife: The Golden Compass, A Sour Book Review
http://ghettohousewife.blogspot.com/2010/04/golden-compass-sour-book-review.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. The Golden Compass, A Sour Book Review. The controversy about this book should have been why the publishers gave the manuscript a second glance, and why, oh why? Do so many people love it. It is imaginative. That is the only positive thing I can say about it. The problems are numerous, but I want to focus on just a few, and only addressing the first book of the series:. More alternate universe stuff? April 9, 2010 at 5:37 PM. Good grief, did they dumb down the trilogy for the Ameri...
