Ok, I'll admit it: my kids go to a private Catholic school. I know that Catholics think birth control is a sin. I know that for Catholics women have no choice, it's just pump out baby after baby. I understand that this presidential election season has quite literally gone off the deep-end as far as women's choices, reproductive freedom, and well, . . . The Pill. But never in a million years would I have guessed that my elementary school daughter would come home from school with a paper that read:

"An article in the July 21, 2006 Washington Post shows a silent calamity underway in America. Over 1.5 million Americans area harmed, sometimes fatally, every year by medical mistakes. This is Islamic Terrorism; murderous hoards of syringe-armed officials steal silently through our thrice ravened flock. Research on the origins of this travesty reveals that: THE ARABIC ROOTS OF MODERN MEDCINE ARE HAVING THE INTENDED EFFECTS ON CHRISTIAN SOCITY. But Christianity today heals just like

This is mainly about young moms, teen moms, and teen pregnancy. I have been judged many times for being a Young Mother, for bad grammar/spelling, and being married at a young age. All by other mothers. So what is it? Are they Bullies or are they Jealous that you are happy with your life and the theirs is miserable? Or is it just human nature?I have done some research and it leaded to believe it is all three. On the other hand all Mother judge other Mother for everything from the way they parent, dress, what social class they are from, whether they are on welfare, single moms, divorced, etc... the list goes on. So is it just a mother nature to judge what she dose not like. It really scares me that my daughter has to grow up in a world were if she makes one mistake she becomes a disgrace. It is just not right. Why are mothers who are judged; be made into disgrace by their life style. Is this not Bulling. The one thing we want to stop? Many parents are complain about their children being

THIS WEEK IN M.O.M…Do your kids love to play dress up? It seems like every child at one time or another becomes obsessed with the popular play time activity of dress up! It must be the magic of make believe that intrigues them because when they put on that pink tutu they become a ballerina. Or when they don that hat and tie, they become daddy. No matter who your child pretends to be when they dress up, it's wonderful to watch as parents. We've gathered some home videos of kids being kids and dressing up as anyone else!

Take my son...please.My older son and I have been knocking heads lately, so much so it seems like I'm always arguing or disciplining or being a wicked mother and it is starting to give me a bit of a complex so I did the one thing I could think of to relieve some of my teenaged boy anxiety and irritation. I took my daughter and nieces to go see Beauty and The Beast in 3D this past weekend. It was girls' day out, complete with licorice, chocolate, popcorn and mushy musicals.

Sometimes girls just need a chance to be girls and sometimes that means copious amounts of junk food, the inclusion of a Disney princess and a timeless love story.

(There may have been some nostalgia on my half as well. Beauty and the Beast [non-3D] was the movie I saw on my very first date. His name was Chad and he was shorter than me. I was smitten with him. He dumped me for some rich girl named Mary. I'm not bitter or anything. Not anymore at least.)

One of my favourite parts of Beauty and the Beast is when Mrs. Potts yells at the

I hate doing these projects.School projects ought to be called "parent projects" since that's what they pretty much are.

My son is in the 4th grade and has already done at least seven major projects in his elementary career. I, I mean he has done projects on plant life cycles, famous Americans, prehistoric life, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now.

While these school projects are surely educational (at least in theory), they are also surely the parents' responsibility. Often these projects are rather complex, involving photos, research, and multiple trips to the craft store.

Below you will find a nifty pie chart illustrating the use of my time as it pertains to school projects:

The 1/3 where I try to make it look like my child did the work is arguably the most difficult usage of my time. I've found using scissors with my left hand to look surprisingly authentic…I kid, I kid…or do I?
