My 3-year-old girlchild is into licking people’s arms to make them laugh. (And darnit – it usually works because she picks the most random times…) How about we trade for awhile? :)

I miss having a dog. I do have one dog-kitty who cuddles with me at every opportunity and one regular kitty who can’t be bothered (until she decides it’s time for her pampering, that is) but a dog is a big bundle of cuddly love, all the time, on demand. I’m so glad you found Licorice Nonobaddog Kamin Ottolastname. Enjoy!

Oh man, I’m sorry Chickadee is having a tough time. I had a tough time with a particular girl in middle school, and it was truly scary. The difference is, she (finally) felt comfortable talking with you about it. Yer a good Mom, Mir.

Oh, poor Chickadee. Here is what I propose. 2009 has been a miserable jerk of a year so far for (it seems like) everybody. I say we start a new year RIGHT NOW, and we don’t tell any doctors, mean girls, jackasses or other undesirables about it. Who’s with me?

So, I haven’t been around in awhile…sorry to have disappeared! My gut reaction is to drive to GA and sock the crap out of whatever kid is bothering Chickie! If the school doesn’t fix it, you let me know…or tell Chickie to sock ‘em herself (isn’t she the one who can break boards with her feet? If so, this is information the bully might need to have!) Feel better all of you!! HUG!

If you DON’T tell, the bullies get worse anyway. They take advantage of someone with no way to fight back. At least this way, some adults will be keeping their eyes open.

Unlike back in the day, when the adults would blow it off claiming it meant someone had a crush on you, or you were a tattletale. Can you tell I’m so glad there are anti-bullying rules now? :-)

The middle school years generally contain a large amount of suckage, out of proportion to the suckage in elementary or high school. Chickadee is lucky to have you in her corner, and remind her that while things sometimes seem like they won’t get better EVER…improvement really does occur.
