Blog Entry 12 of 122 Buzz by Barbara

I think about a lot of things. I have opinions about most. What good are thoughts and opinions when not shared? I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. Issues related to education really get me going. I love to dine on the hot potatoes of school accountability, standardized testing, corporal punishment in schools (outlawed in only about 28 states), scrutiny of school staff before hiring, teacher performance standards, and the weeding out of bad apples in education. I promote fitness as the miracle drug most of us seek. No pill will duplicate the health benefits of working our bodies. I strongly support the adage, "Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die." The world does not need more puppies or kittens. A visit to a local shelter is proof. I consider myself schooled in basic personal money management, the entrepreneurial spirit, domestic adoption, motherood in middle age, Baby Boomer issues, Southern culture, and how to cook a meal in twenty minutes. Whew. So, where shall we start?

My older son, Hayden, right, tells me he has a hard time keeping his eyes open for snapshots in bright sunlight. Yesterday at Chatfield I told him to keep his eyes closed, let me count to three, and then open them in time for me to snap the picture.

This is what I got. Carson, my younger son on the left, appears to be having a great time. Hayden, however, appears to have a snapping turtle on his big toe or maybe a bad wedgie. Go to picturetwo for a better view.

There are no good wedgies.

I sometimes get those kinds of smiles in photos. Mainly because the flash on the camera is taking a while to go and I just sit or stand there trying to keep my smile intact. I end up looking shell shocked or intentionally trying to look stupid. Which I'm totally not.

Precisely, Karin! My son thinks he looks ridiculous in this picture. OK. He does. But that does not stop me from sharing his priceless expression with the world. It's my job.

I love these kinds of pictures of my kids. Not only do they tell more about who they are, I get to embarrass them as teenagers.
