Here's my new approach:
When listening to my teen's continually rude and grating, know-it-all, how-dare-you-even-consider-disturbing-me tone of voice, I will attempt to hear it like I would hear a foreigner's thick accent. And I will attempt to respond with the patience and care I would gladly extend to a foreigner I was having a difficult time understanding.
Because I'm pretty sure I don't contemplate strangling heavily-accented foreigners every time they open their mouths.

Where in the World is Fledgling Tanguera?
Hello Friends...
I know I have been remiss in blogging and I apologize.
Shortly after having the babies, I enjoyed a very short respite of normality, enjoying my children and life. And then disaster struck.
I am a board member on my children's school board. We are a very sweet 230ish kid K-8 public charter Montessori school. Well, our school burned down. Since then, we have been feverishly working to locate a new home, deal with insurance, order supplies, mobilize parent groups, etc.... the list is never ending. It has been a heartbreaking, and equally moving, time. I am touched by the commitment, dedication and love that the parents and staff express, and the kindness and support of our community as we attempt to pull ourselves up and rebuild.
So, no, I am not done blogging. I will return to sharing and purging when things slow down and our future is more secure.
In the meantime...I am doing some dancing. :)
