SHOCKING ... oh my!

I was just doing a little search for my 3rd grader.  She just read an American Girl book and I told her that if she did a good job writing a little report that I would take her on a special one on one date.  I'm just a little desperate to get her to read (blush). I wanted to find a simple way to help her format her writing (I ended up using my Write Source book).

Well, after googling I found this site  on writing and could not believe it.

Am I reading this right ... is this a paid service to have someone write a paper for you?  I know that students have been doing this for a while, but I never saw an advertised site ... yikes!

IT makes me wonder how many super smarty pants folks are really all that smart?  Hopefully I am wrong.
Hmmmmmm ...

Sure looks like that kind of a service. And beyond the obvious fact that it would be cheating - I'd be a little leery having someone write my report who didn't seem to have a good grasp on the written English language. Some of the sentences on that page make only marginal sense!

I mean, gee, if your going to bother to pay to cheat, you might as well have it done well! :)

oh you've got to be kidding me!!!! oh that's beautiful, have a book report written FOR you without even having read one page of the book. Let's promote cheating *and* axe reading all at once! GRAND!

and we wonder why *things* have gotten so awful... shortcuts.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
