hello my friends!! i know i know!! its been longer then usual!! i do have a legimate excuse!! well i think anyway!! we have been studying hard for our certification and everything else has been put on a back burner for now. but i am almost done!! then i will use the nice weather as an excuse!! haha!!
anyway, my son's 4th grade teacher told me she wants him to start watching the news...keep up on current affairs so he could join the other kids in their discussions!! i about burst out laughing in her face! they are 10 years old for goodness sake!!! i have listened to their conversations, they talk about poop, farts and spongebob!! watch the news? my child>? no, im sorry. i watched it the other night. there was a robbery, a murder, a rape, and the state of our government, and economy is enough to make us cry 24 7. he doesn't need to know about it, he doesn't need to worry about it. thats my job. thats why im not always my happy shiney self all time-not many of are any more. its just the way it is. but not in 4th grade. not if i can help it. thats called being a parent.
