Mamacita says: the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be. More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]

I posted part of this a couple of years ago, but it’s the weekend and I think it bears posting again because when I think of all those exhausted teens being dragged from their beds because some adult thinks that because he’s up, everyone should be up, I get really angry on behalf of the [...]

Mamacita says: Well, well, well, another Saturday has sneaked up on us!
“Gumption” is an old-fashioned word, but gumption itself is a quality that seems to be old-fashioned, too. Schoolkids aren’t given time to prove they’ve got gumption or not, because before they can even comprehend that they can’t comprehend something, an adult is right there [...]

Mamacita says: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, exactly a spring chicken these days, but when the time comes that I stop asking questions, they can bury me. In fact, they should. What possible use is a person who doesn’t ask questions and seek answers? Can’t think of a thing.
I’m not presumptuous [...]

Mamacita says: When I was a little girl, Dad would often wink at Mom after dinner, and say “Now I’ve got gas; I guess I’ll go out and sit on the car.” And she would roll her eyes and say that HER family didn’t talk like that.
And I would be all happy because, hey. Free [...]

Mamacita says: Does anyone else wonder why parents and teachers are spending so much time on topics such as red ink, dodgeball, and T-shirts, when it seems to me a much better topic for discussion might be, “Why are we allowing illiterate people to actually graduate from high school?”
Because I can’t think of a single [...]

Mamacita says: Caroline Lake Quiner Ingalls knew how to raise her children so that they would know how to behave themselves properly no matter where they might find themselves.
In Little Town on the Prairie, a teen-aged Laura is invited to a party. She had gone, years ago, to a little girls’ party, [...]

Mamacita says: Lady Gaga? I know who she is, but have no interest in hearing her sing or carry on or shake hands with the Queen whilst in full GagaGear.
However, I have to add that she might want to hire new publicity people as her current ones seem to have a one-track mind.
Last night at [...]

Mamacita says: I don’t think there are any words coined yet that would adequately describe the complete and total loathing I have for simplified, edited versions of good books.
I’ve heard quadrillions of elementary teachers argue that small children learn best when there are few challenges, but I have to disagree with that, too. How condescending!
I [...]

Mamacita says: I was reading my dear online friend Judy’s blog tonight and stole this meme idea from her. Thank you, Judy. I haven’t done a meme for a while, mostly because I loathe them, but this one appealed to me so here goes: How I Named My Blog.
Back in early 2004, my friend Wes [...]
