Every music dealer is familiar with Henle's "Number 71" (HN 71) because it has been one of the bestselling titles in our catalogue for decades. This is admittedly not only due to the reliable Urtext, the beautiful engraving and the high quality production; the popularity of this title in particular is, of course, also due to Bach's colourful, stylized dance music. The "French Suites" simply form part of the core repertoire of every pianist and piano student. The Henle edition, first published in 1956, can be seen as an important Urtext milestone. So why not ask your music dealer for "HN 71" (or the high quality clothbound edition HN 72, or the edition without fingerings HN 1071)?

Guide to the levels of difficulty
"I don't know what 'difficult' means. Either you can play or you can't" – this was the rather terse comment by the great violinist Nathan Milstein, on being asked about the unbelievable difficulty of Niccolo Paganini's Caprice no. 1.
The relativity of the evaluation of difficulty in music immediately becomes clear. Yet I gladly take up this great challenge, presented to me by G. Henle Publishers. For I am aware of how useful a guide like this can be, both from my own experience as well as that of many colleagues. In particular so as to be able to identify "appropriate" works. For example for music teachers, who teach at very different levels, from beginners to those preparing for music conservatories, but also for all those interested amateurs for whom this guide is intended.
After careful deliberation I have settled on nine levels of difficulty, which I have divided into three groups: 1–3 (easy), 4–6 (medium), 7–9 (difficult). A number of parameters have been considered when assessing the level of difficulty. I have not just looked at the number of fast or slow notes to be played, or the chord sequences; of central importance are also the complexity of the piece's composition, its rhythmic complexities, the difficulty of reading the text for the first time, and last but not least, how easy or difficult it is to understand its musical structure. I have defined "piece" as being the musical unit of a sonata, or a single piece in a cycle, which is why Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" Part I comprises a total of 48 levels of difficulty (each prelude and fugue is considered separately), Schumann's Sonata in f sharp minor op.11 only has a single number. My assessment is measured by the ability to prepare a piece for performance.
While assessing the pieces, it became clear that the medium level of difficulty (4–6) is the trickiest. Now and again this means that a piece is judged as a "3/4", even if it only deserved a "3" as far as piano technique is concerned. An example of such a "borderline" case (easy/medium) is Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood" op. 15 Von fremden Ländern und Menschen or at the other end "6/7" part of Bach's "English Suites". And of course within a main category there are also "from-to" evaluations (e.g. 7/8).
Any evaluation of art or music will always be subjective, even if the aim was to be objective. Despite the fact that I have endeavoured to be as careful as possible, I am all too aware that the results of my work can be called into question, and am therefore grateful for any suggestions you might have.

The easy answer, but very true, is I am inspired by my family. But, I also find myself inspired by nature, particularly flowers, old books, & music.

My sister is my best friend in the world...she lives in Palm Desert not far from Palm Springs (but I'm sure you know that!) I miss her sooooo much. We ONLY live about 3000 miles apart...so you can guess how often I see her. Not very. She is a constant source of inspiration to me. Thank heavens for telephones and blogs.

Welcome home dear! I am happy you had a wonderful and inspiring trip - send some this way please? I am in need! There is so much surrounding me that is inspirational - just litle things like music and weather and random beauty but sometime you hit a point where you are stuck - that is where I am at. It will pass.

Honestly, what's inspiring me this morning is watching a mother push her child in his wheel chair, trach tube in place into the neighborhood elementary school. Both mother and son smiling joyfully. Inspires me to feel a little more mindful of my many blessings.

I am truly inspired by beautiful blogs-like yours! I love the sun which inspires me to clean and keep things sparkly! I am inspired by my parents and how hard they work! I am inspired by my talented friends who constantly surprise me with their creativity! Have a wonderful day! :)

How weird - I did a whole post but it didn't show up!
Well, I am inspired by so many things. I find life to be inspiring if you just open your heart to the wonder and excitement of it all, and look past the ordinary into the possibilities and the beauty. And my kids really have helped me to do that. But aside from that, I have such a long list {that I will save for 2 weeks from now} but here are 5 random things that inspire me:
- the Northern California coast
- old houses
- antique garden roses
- vintage lockets
- Paris
That is so amazing you got to spend such special time with your grandmother. Having a grandmother is such a blessing. I didn't realize that is why you were in Palm Springs! Thanks for being such a good friend and for your generosity! I never win anything but I loved this post so here I am... thanks again.

- Tara said...
What a great celebration for your Grandmother, she is blessed to have all of you and to be able to live this life for so long! What inpires me, it changes all the time, but I think lately it is the idea of being content with where and who I am, it is the idea of being the best person I can be here on earth while I have the chance, it is being the best mother to my baby, even when I doubt what I am doing, the best friend, daughter, "wife" etc, finding the good in life inspires me!

I am inspired when I am alone and just look at all the beauty God has put in my path. The simple things like clouds and fog or raindrops on the window.
How awesome that you were able to celebrate your Grandma's 90th. I am looking forward to spending some time with my own Granny in California this May. She will be 94.

Let's see, things that inspire me...
Old books, bird's nests, the first flowers of spring, pretty fabric, an empty journal, a stranger's kindness and an inspirational blog post like this one. ;)
The other day I spied the first flower in my garden this season - a yellow crocus. I got such a thrill out of it!

- Jeanneoli said...
So many different things and people inspire me. I think it really comes down to the person I want to be and being the best person I can. If it is my art...I always want to try new things. As a mother..I am constantly wanting to spend more time with them, be more paitent, slow down and REALLY notice them. As a wife...I want my husband to feel cherished and respected and deeply loved. Man life is hard....I am not always very good a juggling, but I hope everyone I love knows I am really trying:-)
- Tue Feb 24, 01:11:00 PM CST
You inspire me, Lola !!! Blogs that I love to read, and Grandparents inspire me. Especially those that have lived nearly a century. Please pray for my Grandmother, her name is Allie, she is struggling with congestive heart failure at 88. All of her sisters have lived well into thier 90's. We simply pray for God's will. Thanks for your inspiring blog.

What a cute contest!! Truthfully...since I was a little Rebecca...I have always been inspired by paper. I love thinking of different uses for it other than the obvious...These days...there is so much variety to choose from and my inspiration has now turned me into a paper hoarder (sounds much worse than actually is)...so...you will most likely find me perusing through the paper section of any craft store or scrapbook shop!...with a cart full of paper and a mind endless with inspiration and ideas.

I was actually in the desert too this weekend. La Quinta to be exact. I saw many of the same flowers blooming that you saw!! Some of those flower scapes just take my breath away:) Where we were there was a big fountain and all kinds of birds were just chirping and singing and bathing away in it. Just watching them made me feel so grateful and less pessimistic than I had felt in days. Maybe months! So I would have to say nature really inspires me.

How sweet that you were able to celebrate your grandmothers 90th. It is so nice to be around family!
Lately I've been inspired by all of my new blogging friends. I've just purchased my first home and can't wait to use all of the decorating tips I've seen. I'm loving all of the birds, eggs and nests!
Bless you for your genrerous offer.
- Tue Feb 24, 04:31:00 PM CST
Inspiration for me comes from so many places - blogs, magazines, shops. . . the problem is I always have too many ideas and not enough time!
You're so blessed to have a grandmother to share memories with.

I find inspiring...
When I go for my walk in the morning and smell the fresh scent of the ocean as I walk by...
The warmth of the sun on my face...
The first taste of a really good pinot noir...
When I first arrive at a flea market...that rush of finding the perfect treasure...
These are just a few. Thank you Kasey!

She was adopted this past year and weighed 8lbs at four months of age. The short time she lived in her native country was a very traumatic time. Things we could not protect her from. Yet, she carries this weight from her past effortlessly. Her smile inspires me everyday. We are so blessed.

Ignorant People Ruin it for the Whole Class
I received a comment telling me that I was selfish for divorcing Joe, and that I should've thought of my kids. Really? REALLY? Are there are actually people out there who think I'd get divorced and have to go it alone unless there was a darn good reason? It was because of my kids that I stayed in a sick marriage, despite being miserable, for more years than I can count. But some things happened last year that made me realize that staying with him was no longer best "for the kids" and if I stayed, I'd be doing more harm than good to them.
My entire marriage has been a huge string of lies. One after another. I'm not writing about the stuff he's done and continues to do. Believe me, there's a huge part of me that would love to spill everything so you guys could see just what I'm dealing with. But again, my kids may read this some day and they don't need to read the negative stuff about their dad. But it pisses me off to no end, when some ignorant stranger who doesn't even have the guts to leave their name and email address presumes to tell me what I'm doing wrong. You have no idea! Just because I've chosen not to write about all the crap here, do not assume that I just didn't care and didn't try or work at my marriage.
I've spent way too many years feeling like I wasn't good enough. I'm not going to let a bunch of strangers continue to let me feel that way. I take care of six kids on my own. I stay up until 3:00 almost every night so I can get everything done. I make mistakes. I screw up. But I keep going. Day after day, I get up and do it all over again. I don't have help. Their dad hasn't even seen them since Christmas eve. And despite that, I enjoy it! I love my kids! I love the chaos and craziness! I wouldn't trade it for the world! I'm teaching them that they need to respect others and demand respect in return. And I will not let anyone make me feel like I'm less than worthy anymore.
Oh yeah, and I don't need to hear any more comments about me and Victor. He's my friend. He's a good guy. We talk every day. We have a lot in common. It's nice having someone to talk to. It's nice having a genuine smile on my face. It's nice to feel good about myself. I may have been married, but I have been alone for more years than I can count. And only time will tell whether something more ever comes of it or not, but I don't need unsolicited advice from people who can only see the negative in any situation.
Okay. I'm so sorry that all my regular, wonderful readers had to read that garbage. It's because of you guys that I continue to blog and share the fun stories. And speaking of fun stories. Here's an oldie but a goodie. Enjoy!
I Resign
August 7, 2007
Dear husband,
The purpose of this resignation letter is to inform you that I will be leaving my position with your family effective August 8. I will be relocating to the Bahamas in the near future. As much as I would love to stay on as your chief laundress, cook, nurse, nanny, teacher, chauffeur, household manager, accountant, waitress, and maid, I simply do not get paid enough to put up with your children's deeds. Today, for example, Clay launched his dinner plate across the room like some medieval catapult because his "meatball was touching his spaghetti". I don't know what I was thinking when I spooned a meatball onto the same plate as his spaghetti!
Your sons also held a battle in the family room using pillows as their weapons of choice. When battling the forces of evil with pillows, I suppose one must take the high ground which would explain why they were jumping around on the couch while wildly flinging the pillows at each other. In doing so, the wooden frame of the couch snapped and burst through the fabric.One of your children managed to lock everyone out of the bathroom. Well, I assume it was one of your children, however they unanimously agree that Notme was the guilty party. According to your children, Notme has been responsible for laying wet towels on the floor, spilling juice on the carpet, eating an entire pack of gum from my purse, dumping out buckets of toys, and flushing Barbie dolls down the toilet. I, however, have yet to catch Notme in the act.
When Savannah asked me if she could get a screwdriver to take the doorknob off the door, I told her that I didn't want her to touch the door until I tried to unlock it. I can certainly see how she understood that to mean 'go outside, get Daddy's ladder, climb up into the bathroom through the window and then take the screwdriver to remove the doorknob from the inside of the bathroom.'
I have appreciated both being part of your family and the opportunities that have been provided to me during the last several years. Had I not held this position, I would never have learned that staples pass harmlessly through a one year old's digestive system, that nail polish sticks to the inside of a toilet bowl, or that blue popsicles will turn a toddler's poop neon green. Clearly the past thirteen years on this job have given me invaluable information and skills that will help me acquire a new position in the real world.
Please do not let me know if I can be of assistance during the transition.
Please do not try to reach me at the above address if you have any questions or need any further information. I have turned off my phone and am now enjoying doing nothing but reading non-Dr. Seuss books, eating food other than mac-n-cheese and chicken nuggets, wearing clothes without spit up stains or dirty hand prints, and consuming large quantities of tropical rum drinks with little paper umbrellas.
P.S. I finally found the source of the oddly colored liquid that spilled all over the inside of the refrigerator. It leaked from a jar of pickles into which Austin, doing some sort of experiment known only to him, had poured a packet of KoolAid and sugar.

As a child of divorce, I can honestly say that the best thing my mother ever did was divorce her horrible, abusive husband. We aren't inside your house. We don't know everything that is going on. But I believe that you are doing the best for your kids. They will be okay... even if they had divorced parents.
Your a strong lady. :)

Hi Dawn. I haven't left a comment here since your first days of blogging, just after thd Ebay auction but oh boy have I continued to read your blog. You are wonderful and are doing a wonderful job of living your life your way and bringing up such well rounded and well loved children. I think many people believe that thrif life will be enriched by putting down others, I think that's so incredibly sad and delusional and unfortunately occasionally they throw that negativity onto lovely people like yourself. Don't let them stop you Dawn, I couldn't imagine the blogosphere without you in it xo

What I missed that? Oh wait I can't keep up with the comments! I blame all the kids, but if the need does arise I do have a toy vodoo doll that I willingy let the twins reek havoc on if need be!
And the old post solved my major problem of the week with 3 year old! Blue popsicles never thought it would be those!
People ask me how I do it all the time, I always say because I love it.
And at the end of every long tiring day I can always get a good laugh from you!
Now I am off to fold Mount-Kill-A-Mom-Laundry.

As a mom of six, myself, I can't imagine going it alone. But I can only imagine that it is almost easier now that you have made your decision. Best of luck Dawn, you are an amazing woman and mom.
And thanks for the repost. It's one of my favorites- one that hooked me in the beginning.

I feel like apologizing (instead of screaming at them) for all of the "special" people out there that seem to know your life better than you do. I don't know everything you have been through but it really is none of my business even if you are a "public" figure.
It sounds like the comments are along the lines comments to Vanna White after she had her last child and people ragged her about being fat an needing to lose weight.
Just keep up the good work, after all it is your life and you know what is best for you and your children.

Geez Loise I so dislike those few rotten apples that spoil it for everyone. Good for you, Dawn - lock and load!
I've been reading your blog since the Pokemon cards incident and very rarely commented. Loved the parts you shared with us, your humor your good sense of buying half-gallon great ice-cream from Aldis (I think it was Aldis) and the hilarious hijinks of you children.
Thank you. I appreciate it and I appreciate all that you've chosen to share with us.
Without judging. Promise.
Although I do keep score... Dawn 2,317 Stupid People: Zip Zero Nada.
Again thanks. And boo judgemental people. Boo I say. BOOO!

Hugs!!! Too bad there are people out there that don't know when to keep quite. Only you know what is best for you and your children. Stay strong! I check your Blog daily and look forward to reading each entry. Some of us love you no matter what! As for Vincent it is great that you have a good friend that knows exactly what you are going through so you can support each other as friends. The hopeless romantics would love if the friendship grew into something more but didn't Hollywood already do that story?

Anonymous commenters are nothing more than pathetic twerps with no real life of their own, so they think they know all about yours based on the pieces you share here. They are not worth your energy!
Speaking as a child of divorce (I was almost 13 when they separated, and by the time it was final, had turned 13). I knew LONG before Mom told us what was going to happen that our house was a stress-filled, negative place. Despite the stress of the divorce, we had a much calmer, happier life without the sperm donor present on a daily basis. Initially he made a few attempts to gain favor with us and the judge, claiming to want custody, but by the time the divorce was finalized (and here in TX it took from mid-August until the end of December) he had moved to Ohio. From that point on, until I turned 18, we saw him 4 times. HE made that choice, not us, and not Mom. We knew it, as I'm sure at least Austin & Savannah can see for themselves. The younger ones will either figure it out eventually on their own, or the older ones will make sure they know.
Better for them to be in a single parent home where they know they are loved and wanted, than a two parent home filled with anger, resentment, and whatever else ya'll were dealing with before the separation/divorce.

There will always be those who will try to tell you how to wear your shoes, without ever knowing what kind of shoes they are. The only thing you can do is blink at them, smile at them, turn around and walk away. They simply aren't worth the increased blood pressure or the time it takes to tell them off.

Thanks, Dawn for sharing your life with us. I've been following since a few years now, and you seldom fail to bring a smile, even if it's just because I can relate in some way and no longer feel like I must be the only mother in the world who has to deal with toilet issues, over-ambitious boys, being constantly tired, feeling overwhelmed at times, etc. (and I only have 3! I so admire you!)
Good for you for the decisions you make, they're yours alone to make and those who want to judge should take a look at the three fingers pointing back at them :)
Just the fact that you pulled off that huge trip to the beach with your kids on your own shows amazing strength on your part. From what you show us, it looks as if your kids are amazing! They are the proof that you're doing the right thing for them. Never listen to the nay-sayers. All the best!
ps. do you really get emails on the hate-mail box?

It's really too bad there's no automatic "idiot" filter for your emails! I, for one, am glad that you've found a friend who can TRULY relate to what you're going through. Thank you for continuing to make us laugh, even through the rough times.

As a single mom of one 4 yo boy, I can guarantee a mother of six doesn't go into single parenthood without a LOT of consideration! It's not like you're Kate Gosselin with nannies for goodness sakes! Plus, divorce is so personal to anyone who goes through it that no one should ever comment on someone's experience. No one knows what really goes on in someone else's marriage in real life, Let alone if you only read a blog about the person! Trolls are such a pain in the butt.

By the way, who the heck's Victor? I thought you were into some guy named Idaho.
Oh wait!! There's a place called Victor, Idaho -- is that why he calls himself SPUDS???
Love ya!

You go girl! I love this! And not just because I've gone though the exact same thing during my divorce. It seemed like everyone thought they knew better than me what was best for my life.
Good for you for putting the reminder out there that we only know what's best for our own lives, and NOT someone else's.
And honestly, we women really ought to do a better job of sticking together and supporting one another.
Don't know you in person, but think of you as a friend. *hugs* You're doing just fine, hon. :)

I read your blog from sunny...england. And I really enjoy reading about your adventures, mishaps and all that you and the kids get up to.
Life's not easy, "stuff" happens, and I think you're doing a fantastic job through it all!
I'm young. I've not been married. But I've experienced my parents divorcing, for reasons that no one ever would have guessed or can even now comprehend. And my Mum got a lot of crap from people for leaving my old man... and they didn't even have a sodding clue.
No one has a clue!
They never have, they never will.
Thanks for posting all that you do. It certainly puts a smile on my face!

Good on you for changing the settings. People who want to write nasty or judgmental comments should have the courage to leave their name. I agree with 'anonymous' that it's not fair on the kids, but that's his fault not yours. Can't believe he hasn't seen his own children since Christmas Eve? How can a dad do that to his own children - or himself? I do feel sorry for them, but it's himself he is hurting most of all.

Babe you make me laugh to the point of chest pains. You bring sunshine into my cloudy days and at least when I know I'm having a bad one, I can be grateful I don't let my daughter read Spud's blog *giggle* or that cool aid is not sold in Australia.
Let the dumb a** ones choke on their own envy.

Hi Dawn,
I've been reading your blog since the Pokemon cards...Too bad for the internet trolls who leave an opinion on that which they no nothing about. No one knows what you are going through, and each divorce is is an intensely personal experience. For someone to express an opinion, based on the VERY few times you have opened that personal door just a crack, on your blog is just wrong. I hope you delete the hate mail you get. They are not worth your time reading them. You are a very brave person to make an extremely difficult decision in your personal life. The trolls need to get a life.
You go girl...

I'll admit that I used to wonder if your divorce was somehow related to the fact that you became semi-famous and that that took up a lot of your time that would have otherwise been available for your family. Now that I "know" you better, I realize that your marital problems have been going on way, way, way longer than that and that Joe has been treating you like **** for longer than most of us can ever guess. I bet he had an affair last year or some such wonderful thing as that. So to all those know-it-alls who call you selfish or whatever else they might call you, I think we should all stop jumping to conclusions and give Dawn the respect she deserves.

So very sorry you have ugly people picking on you. I just don't get people that do that to all the nice people's blogs (like yours) that I read. No one is forcing them to read, so if they don't like something you say or do, I would suggest they just DON'T READ IT! Geesh.
You are dealing with more than enough right now without having to put up with all that stuff from mean people. Very sorry. :(
You are doing a GREAT job as a Mom and as a newly single mom. I applaud your commitment not to trashing Joe on your blog. Good for you. That can't be easy.
You keep on keeping on, girl, and hold your head up high. You are strong and smart and beautiful and funny and being all your can be for your kids. The world needs more mothers/people like you!
Have a great weekend! :)

I have been reading your blog since your listing on Ebay became such a big hit. It never ceases to amaze me how rude some people can be. Why do they have to be so negative and hateful? Probably because they are miserable in their own lives.

Up until a few minutes ago I was one of your Anonymous Commentors (is that a word?? never mind ..), but I only ever commented twice, and I was nice both times .. I swear!
Girl - you are GREAT - don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I've been following from over here in Bonnie Scotland since the days of EBay and Pokemon, and all I can say about the "people" (loose expression!) who diss what you are doing is don't let those "barstewards" grind you down .. insert appropriate word in quotation marks :)
It's wonderful that you've found someone to talk to, laugh with, moan at sometimes maybe - the twerps are just jealous! Course you realise this means I now follow Spuds blog too .. hehehe
You keep doing just what you are doing Dawn, you are one awesome lady!!
Take Care

Are you effin' kidding me? Who thinks they have the right to butt into your private life and judge you? This is a small slice of your life and as you mentioned, there are things that have no business being out here for all to see, and the inner troubles of your marriage is one example.
I admire you, Dawn, for being a hands-on, fully involved, loving, funny, smart mother of six.
I was floored; I was a reader for a while but I didn't see your divorce coming 'cause you deliberately didn't post all the bad things.
But we're not your marriage counselor - this is a blog written by a mom, about her kids and her family.
Where do all these judgmental creeps get their inflated sense of self-importance from???
Know that we're LOVING your blog, loving you and Victor, loving your kids - have a good life!

Must be easy for some to hide behind "anonymous" while they spew things they wouldn't have the balls to say to someone's face.
While I do wish that there was a common denominator of decency (honesty, respect for others, old fashioned crazy ideas like that), I don't get why people think everyone else should live exactly as they live. I suspect some of the anons have an ugly life or their own dirty little secrets and bashing someone makes them feel superior for 20 or 30 seconds.
I can't imagine your life right now, but heck, I couldn't imagine it when I began reading here. ;-) If I only wanted to read about 57 year old mothers of two, grandmothers of one who are still sexy babes (a.k.a. delusional) I'd spend my day reading only my own blog.

In fact, my "best friends" even left dropped me. I lost everything in my divorce. Its not easy. But I met my current husband soon after. I with you all the happiness in the world. You and Spuds seem so perfect for each other. Just be HAPPY! You are a fantastic mother. You're kids are very lucky to have you!

First off, HUGE hugs. First and foremeost, no good parent ever goes into a divorce lightly. There's just entirely too much to take into consideration. AND IMHO, I would show the kids the blog one day. Let them see that you took the high road. That way, should they ever find themselves in that particular situation, they too, can take the high road and manage to keep their dignity and self esteem intact.

Great. Now I have to be all nice and stuff! Just kidding!
I think it's probably a contradiction to tell someone who has a public blog that their private life is their own, but it's true. You share what and how much you want. That's the POINT. There is such a thing as too much information.
Clearly, you're doing the best you can. It never ceases to amaze me how many people take the time and effort to comment (anonymously, even!) and leave negative remarks. I still abide by the rule: If you don't like it, don't READ it! (This was my feeling regarding Kate Gosselin. I happen to like her but there were ENTIRE SITES dedicated to hating on her. Talk about needing a life!)
I'm glad you're standing up for yourself. Sometimes a life-changing event makes us wake up and realize we deserve so much more (in the way of respect, especially) than we were getting. You're doing right by your kids. Obviously. Duh.
- July 30, 2010 at 8:00 AM

Dear Dawn;
On your behalf because you are much too nice a lady, I respectfully tell those people to "mind their OWN damn business".
As a child of parents who fought all the time, in a house in which there was violence and alcohol abuse, I wish with ALL my heart that my Mum had been able to leave my father, because it was far more damaging hearing all the fights and violence, than ANY divorce could have been.
You did what was right for you and the kids, remember that and be strong.

Keep your head up, Dawn. No one but you knows what's best for your family, and no one has the right to tell you that you're wrong for doing the best you can.

As for the kool aid/sugar/pickle - Alton Brown did a Feasting on Asphalt show where he went somewhere in the south - Mississippi or something?- and it is called a koolickle. They take the big gallons of dill pickles and flavor them with cherry kool aid and sugar.

What a shame you have to waste a post just to shut ignorant people up. But, GOOD FOR YOU!!
Always remember: Insecurity and jealousy breed meanness. We have the world's WORST neighbors over here and that's what we tell ourselves when they get out of hand. When people are insecure with themselves/their situations/their own marriages, etc., they take it out on the people they are jealous of. You just happen to be directly in the line of fire. Let it roll off your back and just enjoy all of us happy people that love you!!
Keep doing what you're doing because it's obviously working. And remember, "Smile, God loves you!"

I read your blog daily, and I have beeni n your shoes ( okay I have 2 kids..not six) but otherwise..I KNOW the crap you have to deal with. You provide many smiles and are one of many who have to go through divorce. You are also "right on" when divorce is , at times, exactly what the children need. You are also "right on" when you don't write about what is "really" going on...I took that road as well and my relationship with my children has never been better.

Oh, Dawn! I just can't believe how many stupid people there are in this world. Having been through a very bad divorce with my daughter who is almost your age, I totally understand that you don't make this kind of decision without weighing all the options. You did what you determined was the VERY BEST for your kids. Staying in an abusive relationship is NOT healthy for any of you. He doesn't have to lay a hand on you to be abusive, by the way. Just continually making you feel unworthy is a form of abuse. My daughter said it was like a string of Christmas lights coming on one at a time when she finally realized that the relationship was going nowhere. I am sure she would have been dead by now, or in jail for homicide. She finally found her selfworth and it led her to the man of her dreams who makes her laugh every day! If you have found that person in Spuds, who am I to criticize??? You are doing what you think is best for all of you and sharing the best parts of it with all of us. You are very wise not to post all of the bad stuff because it will come back to haunt you. When you close the book on this chapter, and move on you won't have any regrets. I do hope you are writing stuff down and tearing up the paper or at least talking to some neutral person. You do need to vent or you will explode! Last, but not least, I want to thank you for making me laugh everyday and also for the moments that make me very grateful for being alive. ♥♥♥ You!

YOU ROCK!! Feel free to vent away my friend. This IS your blog. But just for fun we should all be allowed to read the hate mail so we can form a search party for these people and ...well, I'm not sure what suitable punishment should be but we can think of something.
We've never met in person but I so love reading about your family - the good times and the bad. I look forward to "watching" your children grow up to be amazing individuals and I'm waiting anxiously to see just where this friendship with Spuds is going. As I've said before, it may never be anything more than a friendship but that's ok. If he puts a smile on your face he's a good friend to have.
Love ya~

I've never commented before but I think you are doing an awesome job! Raising 6 kids on your own, amazing. Also I think it's great that you have found Spuds to talk to. Everyone needs a ear/shoulder. You have to have so much in common, it makes sense for you to have a connection. So try your best to forget those negative people. Unhappy people always try to bring others down. There are plenty of us that think you're doing an outstanding job.

I've been following you since the pokemon cards too- and I just have to say: Do what makes you happy, screw everyone else. :-) (Sorry, a little blunt) But honestly honey, I haven't seen you stand up for yourself like this before and it's refreshing as all get out.
You are an amazing mom and don't you date let anyone else tell you differently. :-D
- July 30, 2010 at 10:32 AM
Good for you Dawn standing up for yourself! I, as a long time reader, sometime poster, I appreciate your open and honest blog posts. I admire you for dealing well with things under pressure and under a microscope, so to speak. I enjoy reading your blog and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Don't let the meanies get you down. You made the right choice for yourself and your kids. Research shows that children with divorced parents do better than kids raised in dysfunctional homes. Especially if those parents keep the relationship amiable (at least in front of the kids). So not bad-mouthing their Dad is one of the best gifts you can give your kids.

Dawn, I don't comment often, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your blog. <3 You are an amazing woman and you deserve the best in life. Your children have been abandoned by their father and you are doing the best you can with what you have got. I hope now and for many years to come your children will appreciate all you have done for them.

I think you are doing awesome. I especially appreciate you sharing some of the issues you went through b/c it helped me see that we were headed down a similar path and to get help to stop it asap. (al-anon is a life-saver).
I love how you have found this amazing talent that helps you provide for your children without having to work full-time outside of the home. I couldn't imagine how difficult that would be along with caring for 6 children alone. God has really given you what you need to survive.
Thank you for the stories, thank you for sharing your struggles so I know I'm not alone. Thank you for making me smile while I really don't feel like smiling about anything else.
Some people are jerks, and they are probably very unhappy with their own lives if they have to attack you. How miserable do you have to be to sit and read a blog that you don't even like? Geez, I thought I spent too much time online @@

You go girl, indeed. I've got some good friends who have recently divorced and in a far healthier manner... and it's still hard, and I know that both of them are enduring criticism from "friends" and family. I will admit I don't know the entire story on both sides, and it's not my business anyway, but I support both of them and love them. Please know that there's quite a few of us out here who have your back, Dawn.

Don't let them get to you Dawn. It's obvious that you love your kids, and are doing you best given your circumstances. I think many of us wish we could change those circumstance for you!

Good for you!
The nerve of some people thinking that they can give you what-for and/or criticize your life. That is just rude to say the least.
Nobody has the right to tell you how to live your life.
I'm glad you have a good friend in Victor. It's wonderful and I'm happy for you.
God bless you and your lovely family.

Way to go, Dawn!! You're doing the best you can and you don't owe everyone an explanation. It's obvious you love your children and you're doing the best for them. I love reading your blog and I am truly excited that you and Spuds have found support in each other. It's wonderful.
Rock on, Super Mom!

Go girl, I'm glad that you told them off and wish you could have used a few of the bad words I've been thinking about them. I was shocked that anyone would have a bad thing to say about your blog. I think it's wonderful and please keep up the good work. Small minded people (idiots) need to get a life and stay out of other's or just don't visit that blog if it's so distastful to them. I love your blog and have the utmost respect for you and your family. Thank You for sharing a part of your life with us.

Hang in there Dawn! Forget the haters! You have been bringing smiles & laughs to so many of us for years now. There are many of us who understand your type of situation (though we dont have or need the details). You are the kind of Mom who does right by her kids, even when right isn't the easy choice. I AGREE that sometimes staying together for the kids is NOT the right choice. As a kid I used to pray to God that my parents would get divorced. When they finally did it was painful but actually offered me a chance at peace. And an opportunity to see them happy for once. I am proud of you. (Not that it matters cause you don't really know me...but I am!)

I've been reading your blog off and on for a long time. I admire you for being so candid in English, I stopped writing in English, because it felt too "naked". Too many people can read that language, so I switched to Dutch. Even so, I still get those anonymous nasty comments once in a while. Funny, how they still sting, despite being anonymous, huh? Luckily the vast majority of comments is nice, though.
- July 30, 2010 at 2:46 PM
- JennyF said...
I LOVE the fact that you have a form for hate mail! That is hilarious!
But truly, you ARE taking care of your kids by taking care of yourself. Leaving a less-than-loving marriage is the best thing you can do for your kids, especially your girls. What a great example you've set for them and their own future relationships.
No one walks on Mommy -- NO ONE!

OK so I was so traumatised by the kool-Aid scene I attached a comment on this post to the one there.......that and the fact I haven't had my 2nd coffee yet.
Agree with all the above. As I said you don't need to explain to a bunch of strangers on the Net why you got divorced anyone who has been with you for a while would know you didn't do it lightly and there is a LOT you never blogged about.
Be happy Dawn you deserve it x

Dawn, I found out my marriage was ending just before the 30th anniversary, and the divorce was final 10 months ago. No one really knows or can judge what happens inside of someone else's marriage. I'm sorry you got so much nastiness from others. It's not a decision anyone goes into lightly, whether initiator or receiver of the divorce papers. I was "the dumpee" but even so, I am glad now I am no longer with a person who for a long time didn't want to be with me. He had a long list of how I wasn't good enough. Hang in there. It gets better!
- July 30, 2010 at 6:02 PM
I love you Dawn... Might not mean much since we have never really 'met' but sometime you are the only bright spot in my day! So I just wanted you to know that there is a crazy lady in Australia that thinks you are awesome!!!!!
I am guessing 'Blog-World' is a lot like living in a small town... Lots of petty opinions of people who don't really know you and who you don't really care about! The town is saved only by those who love and accept you for the wonderful being you are!

Hi Dawn,
I've been reading your blog for about two years and this is the first time I leave you a comment. (shame on me, I know)
But anyway, I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that I love reading your posts, I think you are a wonderful woman and anyone would be lucky to call you a friend.
Ignore the haters, they don't deserve your attention.
Live your life, enjoy your amazing kids and keep on writing... I know I'll keep on reading :)
- July 30, 2010 at 9:01 PM
I am one of those readers that has been reading for a long time but I rarely comment. I am pretty sure your blog was one of the first I ever read and it is part of the reason I started blogging. I completely understand and relate to staying in a marriage for much longer than I should have "for the kids". While there are aspects of being married that I miss, I am a far better mom now that I don't have that stress of trying to keep a sinking ship afloat.
Dawn, Thanks for sharing even a little part of your life.

What is wrong with people? If they were good followers they would know when you mentioned your separation you said that you would not talk about it on here in respect of your kids. Most importantly, they would know where to send the hate mail. I suspect the parties responsible for the horrible comments have 6 kids and one of those husband who has an amazing body, loves her body (boobs down to the knees and all), puts her needs before his own, does the dishes and laundry, prepares nutritious meals, chauffeurs the kids around, asks if there is anything more he can do to help, tells her that she needs to spend the day at the spa, insists she go out for good old fashioned girls nights out when the kids have really tried her patience, and his idea of a vacation is flying to the destination and staying in a hotel or condo….now I must clean up the drool off my keyboard for thinking about that. Do you know if such a man exists?

HI Dawn. Unlike most of your readers, I'm not a mom, not a parent. In fact, I'm a single man staring 40 in the face and have realized I'll probably never be a parent. I only found your blog because of a google search for "Brooklyn". But I've been reading for some time and you always make me laugh.
My sister (two kids) recently divorced and I think it was the best thing for everybody. Sure, things are difficult for her, but she's free of the dead weight.
Your choice was no doubt the right one; you don't have to justify it to anybody.

I love reading your blog. Reading here always makes me smile. It is a wonderful reminder of what REAL motherhood is!! I am glad you are taking steps to protect your self from the negative. How dare people judge a situation that they no nothing about. My parents divorced when I was 12...and thank god they did!!!
And...Spuds...you made me tear up, he is right, you are an strong, beautiful woman!!!!

You said it Dawn. I agree with you on the Spuds thing. What happens is your business and yours alone. Everyone needs someone to talk to and you have found that person. Hooray for you being able to get those ANONS off here. I never update my blogs but I follow many.

I signed up just for joo. I, too, hate that you even need a post like this. I don't need to understand the innerworkings of why you do what you do.. I have read long enough to know that the kids are your life and everyone else can stick it.
I am guilty of Spuds asking info but it really comes from a place of being very happy that you found someone you like and can relate too. And sorry if this is too much but you guys are cute as heck when you banter.
I'll never stop reading and respecting the way you handle all of your business. xo

Dawn, I have never commented before but I read your blog on a regular basis. My Mom stayed married to my Dad for many years for me. My parents separated for a few months when I was 7. My Dad was moved from Washington state (where we lived) to Ohio and my Mom didn't want me to grow up without my Dad, so she agreed to try again. We moved to Ohio with my Dad. They got a divorce my senior year of college (14 years later) when my Mom realized that life was too short for her to be so unhappy. As I have gotten older and discussed things with my Mom, I think back and wonder how much of it was a lie. I wonder if the times that I remember as happy, were really happy. I go as far as wondering if life would have been better had she let him move across the country and get divorced when I was 7. My Mom and I are very close now, but I hate the fact that she gave up 14 years of her life because she thought she was doing what was best with me. I think it is wonderful that you are strong enough to make the hard choice in order to prove your love for your children. There are always going to be people who think you are doing something wrong but always remember that they are not living your life and they have no right to judge you. As for your friendship with Spuds: I was on vacation and not online for a little while (the same time you were on vacation). When I logged on facebook and saw that you two were meeting up, I got the biggest smile on my face and was super excited for both of you. I started reading his blog after you first commented about him and now read them both. Everyone needs someone they can talk to and that makes them laugh. You deserve to be happy and the happier you are, the happier your kids will be. Hope you have a great week.

From jumpers-for-goalposts to Premier League...
Kickabout League Features
Kickabout League is an arcade-style five-a-side football/soccer game. It can be played by up to eight people in online multiplayer matches (the goalkeepers are controlled by AI). It's not just about playing (and winning) games, though - with each match, your players will gain experience and improve, or you could always sell them on the open market and buy a top-notch Elite player to fill their place in your squad.
As you win (Rated) games, you'll work your way up through the various leagues, until you're good enough to join the Diamond Division, and play each week for the Diamond Trophy! Or, if you're not feeling so competitive, you could just have a friendly (Unrated) kickabout with some friends...
1. Why are the players jerking/jumping about my screen?
Ah, the dreaded lag monster. Being the first fully real-time game on FunOrb means that Kickabout League may be more succeptible to lag in certain conditions. To this end, we've included "lag-o-meter" bars in a corner of the screen, while games are being played. These will display the ping times of various other players in the game. For optimum results, we recommend playing with this number being at least below 200ms.
There are many factors that can increase the ping time of your computer's internet connection, such as the physical distance between your computer and the server. As such, we also recommend that you play Kickabout on the nearest server to your location, against other players who are doing the same. Some people's internet connections will be fast enough that this shouldn't be a problem for them regardless of who they play and where they are, but we're not all so blessed.
Also, please don't be too harsh on other players who are lagging in a game - it's not their fault! Rather, try to help them by suggesting things they can do to improve their, and your, Kickabout games.
2. What are the rules of the game?
The first rule of Kickabout League is DO talk about Kickabout League. Tell your football-loving and/or game-playing friends and get them on FunOrb for a kickabout. The more people playing Kickabout League, the more games will be available!
The second rule of Kickabout League is that, er, actually, there aren't any more... This is no-holds-barred football: no fouls, no throw-ins, no corners. There are no halves, you just play until time runs out. The team with the most goals wins!
3. How does the league system work?
At the end of every game, the winner is awarded either 30 (Rated) or 3 (Unrated) points. The loser's score is reduced by 10 (Rated) or 1 (Unrated) point(s). Nobody gains or loses points for a draw, and your score can never drop below 0.
As your score increases, you will move up the various leagues. Pebble Playoffs (10 points); Cobalt Conference (180 points); Sandstone Series (560 points); Quartz Qualifiers (1700 points); Crystal Circuit (7000 points); and Diamond Division (14000 points). Once you've gone up a league, your score will then not drop down below the threshold score to enter that league. This means that, once you reach the Diamond Division, you'll always be in that league.
The Diamond Division works a little differently. Once you reach this league, your League Points are replaced with Diamond League Points. These points are reset at 10pm GMT every Tuesday. The player with the highest score each week will win that week's league and be awarded the Diamond Trophy (and the We Are The Champions Achievement). Do you think you have what it takes to win the Diamond Trophy?
4. Which is the best character class?
All of the character classes have their advantages and disadvantages. The Ranger moves like lightning, and can sprint-dash even when he has the ball, but his tackle isn't worth much. The Tank may be sluggish, bue he's an unstoppable brute when he gets close enough, and can turn while tackling. The Hotshot is a key offensive player, able to make super-strong kicks to power the ball past the goalkeeper, but he's not so useful in defence.
Elites, on the other hand, have no single special ability, but can inherit one or more bonuses from the other classes through using trinkets. For example, you can create a Ranger/Hotshot hybrid who can sprint with the ball AND power-strike it into the back of the net.

Genea-Blogger Michael Hait posted this today.
The Genealogy Paradigm Shift: Are bloggers the new "experts"?1
I recommend that you read Michael's offering.
What caught my eye was this:
You might ask, so what if those old local societies disappear? We have the GeneaBlogger community or that Facebook group to support us.
Moral support, yes–definitely. Research support, far less:
- GeneaBloggers do not generally scour every cemetery in a specific county and publish full listings of the gravestones. Genealogical societies do.
- GeneaBloggers do not abstract all of the obituaries of some small county newspaper from the mid-19th century and publish them. Genealogical societies do.
- GeneaBloggers do not maintain genealogical libraries containing decades of work on local families. Genealogical societies do.
- GeneaBloggers cannot go back to 1965 and reproduce the resources that were transcribed by the local genealogical society before that big hurricane or tornado hit and destroyed everything.
These resources can only remain available as long as we continue to support the societies that provide them.
I am certainly not an "expert". I am not trained, no plans on doing so, but do try to lean. No Expert Here.
The article caught my eye because I had just returned to a "local" historical society, and cemetery.
I am involved as an "active member" of a local Family History Interest Group. By active, it's more then attending meetings. I have share my research experience through presentations. I do that in hopes that others have a few more tools in their research tool kit to help with their research.
This group is not a "Genealogical Society" but are Family Researchers. Most of my presentations are put together by blogging about my research, or how to use research tools that are available to us.
My trip this afternoon was to visit the local Historical Society to do some research. I took with my another one of my Research Tools, a Flip-Pal. There were 6 or 7 researchers in the library and were amazed as to what the Flip-Pal could do. One of the "officials" at this historical society, went to LegacyFamilyTree.com and put an order in for one. He saw what it could do. I had blogged about it, and had some pictures on Flickr for a couple of my project, that instantly caught his attention as he has some projects he was struggling on how to attack that project. The Flip-Pal appeared to be the answer to his question. Again, I was only sharing my experience with his Historical Society. The flip side is that he shared the frustration in getting folks involved with the Society.
I have also talked about cemeteries, I take pictures, post them on Find-A-Grave, and my blog. Certainly those won't be picked up by any Genealogy Society, but as a Blogger, I do try to capture pictures of those headstones and make them available. To me, this is another way, as a Blogger, to share.
Have I gone into a cemetery and taken every headstone that was there? No, but I did take one cemetery and I did take all of the readable stones and posted them. I don't just take pictures I HAVE to, but try to take Find-A-Grave requests.
I agree with Michael, but I am NOT an expert. From the Blogs that I read, and that is probably about 1,000, it's about Sharing of our experience in doing Family History Research.
The flip side, and the major comment from the Historical Society, was getting Help from folks, in the area, to help preserve what they have. I do what I can do, try to share my experience, and try to encourage others, bloggers or no, in doing the same. I HAVE offered to a local Historical Society, to do some work, but haven't had the call back requesting help. I belong, pay my dues, and show up from time to time, offering to help.
I hope that these Historical Societies, nor Genealogy Societies don't "go away". We will loose some valuable history.
I am sure that other Genea-Bloggers read and comment about Michael's offering to us, and comment on how WE, the Genea-Blogging community can help these Societies survive.
Thanks for listening.
Back to posting some headstone pictures I captured today.

George continues to manage his land acquisitions and in 1884 he adds still more to his holdings and in that process he is acquiring a little more of the soon to be Pine River. It is interesting that his location is Hennepin County in this patent?
4. Patent from BML – Cass May 10, 1884, St. Cloud #11834
#11834 Patent: G. A. Barclay of Hennepin Co., Minnesota, …St. Cloud, Minnesota whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said G.A. Barclay…and the acts supplemental thereto, for the north east quarter of the north west quarter of section six in township one hundred and thirty-seven north, of range twenty-nine west of the Fifth Principal Meridian in Minnesota containing forty acres, and eighteen hundredths of an acre…In Testimony Whereof, I, Chester A. Arthur… 10 of May 1884, etc…
Click on the map and you will be able to study it in more detail. Now that I am back from all my trips I can revisit all these land acquisitions and see if they are correct. The Deed Mapper software is not as helpful in the land states as it is in the colonial states.

Dramatic 911 Calls From Asiana SFO Plane Crash: 'They Are Burned Really Badly'
The California Highway Patrol has released audio of the emergency calls connected to the deadly Asiana Airlines Flight 214 plane crash at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday.
The newly released audio includes a call from a female passenger who was on the plane when it crashed.
"We just got in a plane crash and there are a lot of people that need help," she says. "We have people over here that weren't found and they are burned really badly."
The 911 audio also includes a call from a man who was hiking on a trail when the plane crashed. The man can be heard telling the dispatcher where the crash occurred and that he heard a "giant explosion."
Another woman from the plane tells a dispatcher the plane had been on the tarmac for 20 minutes but no ambulances were on site.
"There are people laying on the tarmac with critical injuries…we are trying to keep our lives," she says.
