I finally had time to go back and read all the posts I missed. I'm bad about that.

I live in Shawnee, and I gotta say I was somewhat surprised by the dissing of JoCo, lol. I've lived on both the KS and MO sides, though my mother demanded we live in on the KS side as soon as I was schoolage so I wouldn't fall prey to the KCMO school district. Go mom. lol But having lived part time in Independence with my dad, and seen other relatives homes throughout the KCMO area, I thank God (and mom, lol) we're in JoCo. Anyways - so is there any actual meeting stuff set up yet? I'd love to get more involved with a mom's group at church, but oddly enough, church is one of the main places where my AP ideas get stomped on as spoiling my child. I'm a single mom which further puts me in a minority, lol.

Dissing JoCo...? Um, if that was me, sorry.

Glad you're here, there are quite a few of us in this neck of the woods who aren't going to give you strange looks or comments when you open your mouth.
In the post you made after this one, you mentioned that you're planning on hs'ing your son. Maybe you could get involved with a homeschooling group in the area? I'm not sure what the groups are like there, but the one here in Lawrence is great. Kids of all ages, and some great open minded people. And there are a few of us single mamas too.

ive been to one ap meeting and i think it would have been more fun if my kids had been there...
im mostly not too thrilled because i cant walk anywhere and people are always throwing trash out thier windows. as a long time resident of lawrence its taking some getting used to...

Dang it, poxy, I wish I'd known you hit that rough patch.
I'm sorry you had to deal with the drama, that just sucks. You totally could have come stayed at our place-where I AP a 7, 9 and even a 16 year old!
My best friend lived in Topeka, it is a very weird place, especially compared to Lawrence. But at least they can boast cheap rent.

Yup, we actually made it. It was the very last one so they shot off cannons and fireworks. My PSA for the day is to never stand under falling firework debris and look up. Duh.
The kids and I all got ashes and crap in our eyes. Other than that we had a good time.

The Terrible Twos is the alt ego of the New Amsterdams. They are putting out their second kids album this weekend. Great music, basically alt rock for kids. We'll be at the Replay's afternoon show; hope to see you there!

Aw, I'm bummed I missed this! I really like them.
How was the show?
Today we went to Cairo on the Kaw, the local yearly bellydance show, at the Community Theater. It was pretty cool. I've been dancing again (after a
long hiatus) for a few months and it looks like I'm going to get to dance at Ren Fest in KC this year.
: If any of you guys make it (I think it's Sept 13 and 14) you should come by and say hi!
