Death of Nancy Kerrigan's father ruled a homicide

The medical examiner has ruled that the death of Daniel Kerrigan, the father of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, was a homicide, the Middlesex County district attorney's office said Tuesday. The skater's brother, Mark, was arraigned in January on assault and battery charges in an incident involving his father, but the district attorney's office would not say if other charges might be filed against the younger Kerrigan in light of the medical examiner's finding. Daniel Kerrigan, 70, died January 2… Continue

Update- Hammock

I put our hammock up. It was a wedding present that sat in our various garages for 14 years. The kids love it...I love it...it's magic just lying there reading a book, listening to cicadas and wood pigeons, and feeling as though someone is rocking you gently off to sleep.

For the children- sometimes it's relaxing, sometimes it's more lie the pirate ship at Rainbow's End.… Continue

Powerful snowstorm hits U.S. East Coast

A powerful storm slammed the U.S. mid-Atlantic on Friday, threatening record snowfall in a region heavily dependent on home heating oil and natural gas supplies. Forecasts calling for 20 to 30 inches (50 to 76 cm) of snow and near-blizzard conditions from Virginia to southern New Jersey prompted U.S. government offices in the Washington area to close their doors four hours early. President Barack Obama, who previously has made fun of the reaction in Washington to small amounts of snow, was not… Continue

6.0 quake rattles North Coast

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake shook the North Coast today in the area where a stronger temblor hit last month, but so far there are no reports of injuries or damage. The quake hit at 12:20 p.m. and was centered about 30 miles offshore, northwest of the small town of Petrolia in Humboldt County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Residents said they could feel the shaker, but it was nowhere near as disconcerting as the magnitude 6.5 quake that struck the region Jan. 9. That quake was center… Continue

Socialization? again?

So I had an assignment in my English composition class today we had to write an impromtu essay either for or against the availabilty of online schools. The major focus of the essay was whether teenagers could do their lessons online and be well rounded or if the lack of socialization available to them would put them at a disadvantage in a work or college setting. The majority of my classmates wrote essays arguing against the availability of online education. they didn't even question whether sch… Continue

'Lost' recap: What's Your Worldview?

Two, two, two shows in one! The two-hour season premiere of Lost, with its dual tracks of parallel world yarns, was a twin-patty, double-pounder factory burger of story, slathered with saucy ideas, drippy with messy emotions, and chewy with mystery meat. It was a delicious meal for this ravenous eight months-starved Lost fan, and while it wasn't easy to digest (check that: I'm still digesting it), I felt properly served. Where to start? Should I sketch how the premiere was an elaborate metaphori… Continue

if she learns nothing else

Two boys I watch daily for a couple years now between ages 3-4 were sort of play wrestling. Both laughing and are usually cautious enough with each for this to be allowed. Well the older boy was getting hurt accidently and asked the other boy to stop. Well he just thought he was joking but he was serious. I noticed the difference and sterned up my voice to tell him to stop because he was hurting the other child. He immediately did and apologized. Then ran to the other room crying because he felt… Continue

Thinking Like Einstein

The story is told that Albert Einstein was once asked how many feet are in a mile. Einstein's reply was, "I don't know. Why should I fill my brain with facts I can find in two minutes in any standard reference book?" This made me think of the homeschooling I'm doing with my kids. At first, when I went into this homeschooling thing, I was thinking, "I don't want to teach my kids what to learn. I want to teach them how to learn." But now, I think I've gone a step beyond that. I don't want to tea… Continue

I already copy + paste my blog in a few other spots. http://stormmie.multiply.com And on my Yahoo profile which I can't find an address… Continue

2nd Blog Post

Paul turned 3 the other day. It is hard to believe. It seems like he has been 2 forever. Not in a bad way. It's just hard to remember a time when he wasn't 2. He didn't really care that it was his birthday, although he did enjoy opening his presents. His favorite present is a red light that spins around like you would see on the top of a police car. I thought he would like the magnets that I got him but he's not really interested in them. He also loves his helicopters His most favorite activity… Continue

A wonderful RU day!

Today we went to a feral kitty shelter to help Vicky do some cleaning. While my SIL and I cleaned, my son played with the kitties and outside. He filled up some water jugs for them and then was off chasing kitties again. Vicky takes care of kitties that most shelters will kill without blinking an eye. She has now stopped receiving alimony and has to work 2 jobs just to keep it going. She has 68 cats and is doing all of the meds, feeding, cleaning of litter boxes on her own because all of her vol… Continue

I have been overwhelmed.

Today I was on my way home from the college when I passed by the school of nursing and saw all of the students in their maroon scrubs in front of the nursing college. I was hit with a passionate envy. I WANT THAT! I am so overwhelmed by everything. I had to find a place to tattoo on the weekends so that I can try to make all this work. I am taking 17 credits this quarter and financial aid has waived my tuition until they can review my file, every week they need me to verify a new piece of info t… Continue
